I haven't heard any of our party leaders say this

[SHRED]

"The President's cruel immigrant detention policies and family separation policies are in direct violation of Constitution and the 8th Amendment."

I can't figure out why.

Anybody

1. Adding for context:

"Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted."

And great point!

2. Thanks for that!

3. We need to press on that point.

The evil ones will end up locking us all up, if we let it slide.

6. +1111!

Not so far fetched as one would normally think. These are not normal times. Who would have thought any of this 4 or 5 years ago?

5. They will only reply

They will only reply that these people are not U.S. citizens and therefore aren't covered by the constitution.
They continously ignore any and all standing laws anyway and laugh out loud at us for trying to legally hold them accountable...........and why shouldn't they, they are getting away with it aren't they?????

4. I agree!

It's long past time that someone starts upholding the Constitution! It is the basis upon which all other laws are made. Without the Constitution in tact, we don't have a government, at least not a functioning one.

Great Point! Thanks for posting!

7. I'm sure that all the ones who feel strongly about it are saying it

... right?
