This is a Test: if they can pull this off with Mahmoud, it’s the End of First Amendment Rights to Free Speech, Assembly and Redress of Grievances, but also 14th & 5th Amendment Rights of Due Process of Law. No charges. No Arraignment. No pleas. No counsel. No disclosure. No hearing. No trial. No sentence.
Just like labeling someone “enemy combatant” gave permission to USA to pick ‘em up anywhere and whisk ‘em off to black site torture chambers and Gitmo, holding them indefinitely and without charges or due process.

Little Marcos Rubio goin’ along and gettin’ along. They’re telling us: “This is just the beginning.”
