Tbh I'm shocked it wasn't already. Like I thought the border has been a "no rights zone" for as long as I've been alive.
it seems like this a re-affirmation of it -- guaranteeing that it'll stay in the books for the rest of our lives
It doesn’t have to stick around any longer than Congress allows it to. Congress needs to grow some balls, pass some laws and put the courts in there place. Those dickhead justices aren’t elected and the congress is.
congress is in a permanent stalemate so long as we keep re-affirming our political dupoloy -- the supreme court will be our daddy from now on unless we can distract ourselves long enough from our phones to take note of how the mexicans got rid of their political duopoly in 2017.
and -- ironically enough -- they were able to do their thing because of the phones. lol
Yah I thought SCOTUS ok'd that within 100 miles of a boarder.
...
Seems not! Just lots of circut courts have affirmed the general idea. This is the first at an appellate court.
Regarding the 100 mile zone around the border:
and that number goes up significantly if you consider an international airport a "border"
I saw someone also mention "waterways" in another thread as being subject to this. If that means navigable rivers like the Mississippi, etc., then between coasts, land borders, airports, and waterways, it's probably most of the US.
That existing map is already probably 90+% of the population. But yeah, including those would get it to be most of the last mass too.
The article with that map claims 2/3 of the population. I think it could go to 90% if you included waterways and international airports.
What about embassies?
US embassies in other countries, or foreign embassies on US soil?
Yes.
I believe it also includes international airports in the orange area?
I don't know, the map doesn't display that.
Very telling that almost every state not part of that zone is a red state.
Lol Toledo but no Cleveland
