Can you read?
The actual text, from the beginning:
Don't come at me with opinions of meaning. I gave you the actual text.
It's like talking to a brick wall with that one BTW lol
Fact. Or a troll
It's been days with them, I think they are really like that. Now, I'm an obstinate mother fucker too, lol.
Fair lol. I've decided they are a troll, so I won't feed them further.
What exactly do you think in the bit you highlighted proves you right?
I'm asking myself the same thing about you based on this conversation.
Let's say that the trump admin is deporting gangs. Cool. Gangs are NOT NATIONS OR GOVERNMENTS.
love how you ignored the protections and jurisdictions bit...
Your still wrong.
Your entire point is based on the fact that only congress can declare war, and the act can only be invoked during war.
That point is 100% incorrect, as shown by your own links. Your own links say it can also be invoked during an invasion, and that an invasion can be declared by the President.
I haven't come with "feelings", I've come with facts - fact that you have also provided but misunderstood.
Ugh "max comment depth".....response to your NEXT comment is here:
Huh? I literally just responded to your comment:
to point out that the act is allowed to be invoked when there is an invasion or predatory incursion coming from a foreign nation. I was pointing out where your point is wrong.......and you then start talking about planes full of migrants?
Love the choice of language too - "migrants" rather than what they all are, which is "illegal immigrants". "without due process" has already been explained - the act that we're talking about means that a different "due process" is now in play, one which they did follow.
The invasion or predatory incursion is coming from a foreign nation, El Salvador.
I'm sorry but I don't understand how one person can be wrong about basically every single thing they point out.
Coincidentally this happened literally an hour ago:
https://www.nydailynews.com/2025/05/08/long-island-ms-13-sentence-omar-antonio-villalta-central-islip-murder/
You do realize I'm talking about the planes full of migrants deported without due process, not just one case, right?
Explain how your Mental gymnastics is twisting the literal text into something it's not, and I'll apologize. Give me a line by line of the actual text, not an interpretation. I came with facts. You've come with feelings.
