    The two-page memo, which was obtained by the Associated Press, does not allege any criminal conduct by Khalil, a legal permanent US resident and graduate student who served as spokesperson for campus activists last year during large demonstrations against Israel’s treatment of Palestinians and the war in Gaza. Rather, Rubio wrote Khalil could be expelled for his beliefs. He said that while Khalil’s activities were “otherwise lawful”, letting him remain in the country would undermine “US policy to combat antisemitism around the world and in the United States, in addition to efforts to protect Jewish students from harassment and violence in the United States”.

    Punishing us for our thoughts is clearly established as the job of the church. This is a violation of separation of church and state.

      Exactly. They’re using religious bias.

      But it’s why my state can’t sell alcohol on Sunday and why people ban abortions and why they’re pushing prayer in school

      They want to make the US a christian version of Iran

      There’s a school of thought out there where only citizens have the full rights granted by the constitution…

      Meanwhile there’s no such thing as precedent or rule of law…

        The Constitution does not support that school of thought. It is very clear, that the rights it affords are universal and apply to everyone in the country. It says nothing about being a citizen or not.

          It does not. Neither does it support the legal theories that led to Jan 6. But here we are.

          Tell that to the moron MAGA supporters. They keep saying that the US Constitution is only for US citizens, no one else.

          I guess they don’t know about, “WE THE PEOPLE”.

        Don’t see the word “citizen” in the first amendment.

        Spoiler: even illegal immigrants are entitled to due process.

        That “school of thought” is just flat-out wrong. The Bill of Rights doesn’t say what rights people have; it says what Congress cannot do. When Congress can’t do it at all, who it can’t do it to is irrelevant.

        That school of thought would have to include the fact that if rights don’t apply, neither do laws, and being “an illegal” wouldn’t exist because those rights and laws no longer apply.

        It falls apart when you spend 0 seconds thinking about it.

    Since we’re just making up rules now… New rule…

    Men with orange skin who are over 77 years of age and who happen to “have bone spurs” are now required to be greeted by a kick to their balls each time a new person enters the room.
