Deranged Elie Mystal explains SCOTUS nationwide injunction ruling by describing how Trump could hatch a plot to m*rder people.
“Imagine Donald Trump wants to m*rder you…”
Totally sane, normal stuff going on over there at MSNBC:
Host: “Walk me through why you see this ruling as deeply dangerous—not for people who are birthright citizens, but much more broadly for every American.”
Elie: “Imagine Donald Trump wants to do something illegal to you, Allie Velshi. Imagine that he wants to murder you. Imagine that he and Stephen Miller release an entire policy explaining about how they can murder Canadian journalists who are working in America because they’re taking the jobs from real American journalists, right? So he’s going to murder you. So you, Allie Velshi, you go to court, you go to court in the Southern District of New York, and you say, like, “I don’t think this murder thing is constitutional. It’s clearly illegal, it’s clearly unconstitutional. Donald Trump and Pam Bondi and Stephen Miller shouldn’t be able to have a plan to murder me.” And the court says, “You’re right, Allie Velshi. There’s no way Donald Trump is allowed to murder you. We’re gonna have an injunction, we’re gonna stay the executive order saying that he’s going to murder Canadian journalists.” And so you’re like, “Great, awesome,” and you go home. And then Pat Kiernan shows up, and he’s like, “What about me? I’m also a Canadian journalist.” Ashley Banfield shows up, she’s like, “I’m also a Canadian journalist, what about me?” And the court says, “Well, I can’t help you because Allie Velshi is the one who sued.” So Pat Kiernan, if you don’t want to be murdered, you have to launch your entire own lawsuit in the Southern District of New York again to make sure that Donald Trump doesn’t murder you. And while the Supreme Court is deciding who the Allie Velshi-can’t-be-murdered injunction applies to, guess what? Donald Trump starts murdering people. That’s the upshot of yesterday’s decision. Donald Trump has declared that he is going to do an unconstitutional thing, and various people have been able to secure the court’s order that he cannot do the unconstitutional thing to them. And basically what the Supreme Court has said is that, “Well, you said something about Jimmy, but you didn’t say anything about Consuela, so we’re going to deport Consuela while the Supreme Court figures it out.” That is what the court said.”
