A federal agent entering a home without a warrant is the fact pattern in Bivens, I believe. Essentially overruling Bivens means that there would no longer be a claim in that instance.
That’s the point here, not really the facts of this case.
Sotomayor’s dissent is helpful in understanding how bad this is.
The ruling was that Congress had already established a sufficient grievance process, so it was not necessary to let people go through the courts to seek a remedy.
What is the grievance process Congress established? Cause the only one I can think of involves Congress not curtailing the extremes of the only amendment this court respects.
Yeah having Border Patrol internally decide whether Border Patrol violating the Constitution via an administrative process with no oversight sounds quite inadequate. I wonder how many pages of paperwork one has to fill out and how long they have to wait on hold to be told “lol fuck you, and your Constitution.”
I mean she’ll get her green card once we’re married, which will be before 2025, although she doesn’t know that yet. Then it’s three years to citizenship. Thing is, this ruling seems to mean that may not matter in any real sense. What matters is what Border Patrol agents know they can or can’t do without repercussions.
Right, the trade off is that Border Patrol can’t storm our house. But the majority of our neighbors would be racist as fuck.
I mean, good luck finding a city worth living in on this map that has casinos within a reasonable drive - with the caveat that neither of us wants to live in Vegas.
Looks like the options would be Denver, St. Louis, and Kansas City. Perhaps Phoenix, but that (and Vegas) are going to be climate hellscapes soon. Is Austin more than 100 miles from a border? That might be the one.
But then if you adjust for also not wanting to live in a red state post-Roe… Looks like the list becomes Denver.
Is there a city in California that’s in the Venn Diagram of: Not Within 100 Miles of the Border, Within 60 miles of a casino with poker, Not Super Deplorable? I feel like @skydiver8 is the expert on this one.
yes quite a few. although your game selections gonna suck ass.
probably best bet are some of the LA card rooms. live north of LA and commute south should put you out of range. north of LA has some decent areas.
commerce/hawaiian gardens are all that come to mind and honestly i think they’re seedy as shit but commerce especially does have games.
there’s the native american casinos but I found them annoying to deal with, crime ridden, and unbelievably high rake.
I do think even though that map is counting the ocean as a border there’s cities inland that definitely meet your criteria. you’ll be driving an insane amount in traffic, but, if that’s a requirement for you, it is what it is.
one thing I will say about CA is I think we’ve been fairly decent at protecting immigrants. we have actual sanctuary cities where they refuse to cooperate with immigration.
in addition there’s quite a few home games you could probably find in the area but those can be sketchy, I typically avoided anything like that over the years
I think california should be much less red in those maps. trump fired a shot across california’s bow when he deployed tactical border patrol units to sanctuary cities. IIRC it was rarely all that successful and only served to make these cities even less likely to cooperate whatsoever with BP.
biden even put out a plea a few months ago to these cities urging cooperation, to which they basically gave the middle finger.
the backbone of CA economy for a long time was based on immigrant labor so even the shitwads in power are smart enough to know to protect them.
