The Law School She Attended Should Be Shamed

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

U.S. Constitution, 14th Amendment, Sec. I

"...born or naturalized…” In case AG Bondi thinks naturalized citizens are permanently contingent; or native born citizens are subject to political approval.

There is seriously no context where this statement doesn’t reveal blank ignorance of the law. What she’s ostensibly referring to is judicial proceedings to undo individual cases of naturalization where the process was destroyed by fraud. If I describe it as a high legal bar, I’m doing it right. Given the state of her DOJ:

In contesting the injunction, ICE's legal team twice cited Planned Parenthood v. Rounds for the propositions that mandatory injunctions are "particularly disfavored" and that plaintiffs must meet a "heavy and compelling weight of evidence" standard.

Neither quote appears in that case, nor in any Eighth Circuit case the judge could find.

"Neither of these quotes appear in Planned Parenthood, nor in any Eighth Circuit case the Court has found that addresses injunctions," Brasel wrote flatly. "Even under the most charitable of readings, Planned Parenthood cannot possibly stand for such a proposition; the case discusses the heightened burden that applies to enjoining state statutes and does not involve mandatory injunctions at all."

"The Eighth Circuit does not apply—and has specifically rejected—a heightened standard for mandatory injunctions," the judge wrote.

The nonexistent citations came in a case where the judge had already found ICE's sole witness not credible, calling the witness's testimony "inconsistent at best and incredible at worst." To boot, the agency was found to have violated detainees' Fifth Amendment rights by blocking access to attorneys during Operation Metro Surge.

A snowball in hell has a better chance than her agency does with denaturalizing citizens. This is all just bleating to the cameras for her audience of one, the man who thinks he has a 100% approval rating.

Bondi is unfit to hold a law license, much less be USAG. Stupid and intemperate comments used to be grounds for public rebuke, at least. Now, it’s just Friday.
