since the year 2000 there have been 7 documented violations or overreaching on the constitution. From both Republican and Democrat presidents. You're naive if you think the constitution matters as much as it did 70 years ago. Especially with the way the SC is structured
President George W. Bush (2001–2009)
NSA warrantless surveillance: Authorized wiretapping without FISA court warrants post-9/11—legal experts said this likely violated FISA and the Fourth Amendment .
---
President Barack Obama (2009–2017)
Libya military intervention (2011): Launched airstrikes and military action without explicit congressional approval, exceeding the 60-day limit under the War Powers Resolution .
Individual mandate: The ACA's health-insurance requirement was challenged as violating constitutional limits. (Supreme Court upheld it as a tax, but opposition framed it as an overreach) .
---
President Donald Trump (2017–2021, and into 2025)
Trump holds the record for judicial rebukes—over 185 federal injunctions blocking policies :
1. Birthright‑citizenship executive order: Attempted to deny citizenship to children of undocumented immigrants — blocked as “blatantly unconstitutional” .
2. Freezing federal funds & diversity office purge: Halted spending on diversity programs without Congress—found unconstitutional .
3. Emoluments violations: Alleged breach of Domestic and Foreign Emoluments Clauses—benefiting from his businesses via foreign governments .
4. Alien Enemies Act use: Attempted mass deportations without due process—blocked by courts .
Without due process, which is a human right, forget constitutional.

Liberia Colonization (1820s–1860s): The American Colonization Society shipped thousands of free Black Americans to Liberia under the guise of "repatriation"—many forcibly removed from their communities.
20th-century Jim Crow: Systemic racism, economic strangulation, and terror campaigns (like the KKK) forced some Black families to flee the South for northern cities—or even abroad. Not deportation in the legal sense, but an undeniable expulsion by social terrorism.
Convict Leasing & Exile: In some cases, Black convicts were effectively exiled or forcibly relocated through chain gangs and private labor contracts. Again, not deportation by the federal government but an extrajudicial method of forced relocation.
Which was my point. What makes OP think the worst thing that could happen to Black Americans is deportation?
If both isles of Washington are complicit in horrific war crimes outside of America, why would they not be inside America? If you recognize that we have other things to worry about, doesnt it stand to reason that it
includes deportation
or worse?
