    But the bill goes much further than that. It mandates federal detention without bail for migrants who are merely arrested for any theft-related crimes, with no provision to free them if the charges are later dropped.

    Well that’s blatantly unconstitutional, but since the non-voters have decided more SCROTUS is what we deserve, probably nothing will happen about it.

    I have a feeling they regret nothing, and will regret nothing, after proving time and again that they view social issues defining the lives of much of their constituency as bargaining chips to throw in when needed.

    None of them were personally affected by any of this. They still have a political career even.
