Not surprisingly I'd never heard of him.

Yes you are a RACIST. And also, to the extent that has not already happened, you have proven yourself unqualified to utter any opinion on African Americans.

He would change things such that any asylum application would be deemed absurd and therefore moot.

What's this I am hearing?  Nancy Pelosi's dad did what?

Please post links,  or at least quotes,  you insufferable fucking moron.   And then make your stupid fucking point, no matter how stupid it is.

Couldn't we leave it where it was? We ignore it, he provides zero substance, and the group moves on without responding?

Laws are indeed made by elected officials.
Thurgood Marshall brought about change, legally.

(a) I don't know to which law you are referring, but (for example) Brown v Board of Education was decided by unelected officials.

No it wasn’t.

Wait,  Scotus is elected?

A grand jury acquitted the police of any wrongdoing in the in-custody death of this black man.

They were never shown this surveillance video.

Within hours of his call to 911 outside a convenience store, Sterling Higgins lay dead, after video shows him being forcibly restrained on the floor at the Obion County Jail in Union City, Tennessee.

A surveillance camera video from that morning, 15 months ago, shows a correctional officer gripping Higgins' neck and head for nearly six minutes, and part of that time his arresting officer with one foot on him. Then, Higgins' limp body was dragged to a restraint chair and wheeled into a cell.
The video, submitted in a wrongful death lawsuit filed in federal district court in Tennessee, is at the heart of another claim that yet another black man needlessly died in custody because of law enforcement misconduct. All the defendants have denied the allegations in legal filings.

Those videos were never shown to a grand jury that, last October, declined to indict any of the officers involved, as first reported by WSPD, in Paducah, Kentucky. The 27th District attorney general, Tommy Thomas, told CNN he didn't see the need to show jurors the video because he already had decided not to seek criminal charges against the officers.

American justice at work.

Just a few bad apples and only in the police departments. Uh huh.

"No video, no indictment" si what you've heard here and elsewhere about George Floyd's death. Here is evidence of that - and not only "no video," it seems, but "no publicly viewed video." Otherwise, the police and district attorneys sweep it under the rug.

Another quote from the Trump interview by Faulkner:

“I think the concept of chokeholds sounds so innocent, so perfect, and then you realize if it’s a one-on-one now if it’s a two-on-one that’s a little bit of a different story – depending – depending on the toughness and strength, you know we’re talking about toughness and strength, we are talking there’s a physical thing here also.”

In Colorado, their new police reform bill requires police cams and mandates a public database of cam footage (minus a handful of pretty rare exceptions).

Just waiting for the governor's signature.

It's a big next step.

Do you support it, Kid? Ward? Cap?
