The executive has the power to revoke passports, no question. But it can't neglect a process that's intended to protect everyone from arbitrary and capricious treatment by the government.
- Eddy_Viscosity2 1y agoThis executive most certainly can, has already, and will continue to neglect processes intended to protect everyone from arbitrary and capricious treatment by the government. It is the defining characteristic of his administration.
- mpalmer 1y agoI'm not naive. It's no less important to call it out for what it is. More, even.
- hulitu 1y ago> This executive most certainly can, has already, and will continue to neglect processes intended to protect everyone from arbitrary and capricious treatment by the government This is not something specific to "This executive". US has, since some time (Obama ?) banning people from travelling and searched phones and laptops at border, worse than other, "undemocratic" countries.
- Eddy_Viscosity2 1y agoUnder Obama, was anyone banned from travel into the US because they had a meme pic of his VP on their phone? Were any US citizens passports revoked because they criticized the military actions of an ally? So yes, this is specific to 'his executive'.
