Then they came for the Socialist/Marxists and I did not speak out because I’m not socialist/marxist…

Oh really? What a genius move, just sidestep the 1st amendment completely by having the law bar judicial review of itself! I’m sure that’ll work just fine.

The first amendment allows for freedom of assembly, which explicitly makes this bill unconstitutional.

They want to denaturalize non-citizens? Lol
Also “or other totalitarian party” – monkeys paw curls, MAMDANI Act used to denaturalize MAGAts
Make believe socialist/”marxist” (lol)? Not on my watch!

>Texas Republican Representative Chip Roy is set to introduce legislation that would make non-citizens who advocate for or are affiliated with socialist, communist, Marxist or Islamic fundamentalist movements inadmissible, deportable, denaturalizable and ineligible for naturalization, according to bill text first exclusively reported by Breitbart News.
>Notably, the legislation would bar judicial review of any determination made under its provisions.
>Under the deportation provisions, a non-citizen could be removed if they engage in advocacy for those ideologies, distribute or publish written or electronic material promoting them, or are members of affiliated parties or organizations — at any point after admission to the United States.
>The bill specifically cites Mamdani, stating that his “very presence” and those “who champion Marxist ideologies” demonstrates how the immigration system “enables the mass importation of Marxists and Islamists.”

GOP has been trying to revive culture war bullshit for awhile now, as their supporters are becoming increasingly frustrated by the flailing economy and Trump’s antics.
This has no realistic chance of becoming law, but it’s sad this is what the GOP is resorting to nowaways. A platform built on hate and xenophobia, not good governance.

These idiots can’t even define socialism, which is just as well for them since they prefer laws that can be interpreted however they wish.

They want to ban anyone who cares about making people’s lives better. They are making moves to deliberately make the USA a psychopath state.

That Mamdani is one powerful dude if he is causing this kind of right wing panic.

Sweet! Can’t wait to get control of the government again so we can ban all MAGA. Wore a red hat…banned. Voted MAGA…banned. Hell, we could turn ICE into Idiot Control & Enforcement. 😉

How about banning Fascists/Nazis? They’re the true enemy to Democracy.

We’ve tried this several times before. Not only is it unconstitutional, it’s counterproductive.

democrats should put forward a bill banning anyone who served in the maga administration from ever holding a public office position ever again. and also include anyone denying the 2020 election.

Insurance is a concept that relies on socialism as the costs are quite literally “socialized” to others. But that would require conservatives to know things, which they don’t.

Or you could, you know, enact legislation that helps your constituents like Mamdani is trying to do.

im of the opinion that if you try and pass a bill or law that is so on the face of it patently unconstitutional as this you should be personally liable for a fine for the govt’s time dealing with you.

>Crucially, the bill would strip courts of the ability to review any determination made under its provisions, meaning deportation, denaturalization or inadmissibility decisions would be final, with no avenue for legal challenge.
Aside from the fact that the bill likely violates the first amendment, the clause above is what makes this a truly authoritarian piece of legislation. It vests the power to make these determinations entirely in the executive branch and removes the possibility of judicial review and oversight.
