AOC facing expulsion from Congress, and revocation of national security clearance.

[Poor Richard Saunders]

I merely pointed out one small third-grade error on your part as a courtesy to you. You could have thanked me.

Why did you pivot entirely away from, and thus totally ignore, the part of my post that caused you to panic and to flee to the hills?

It's funny that you think you are so well versed in grammar and yet you still get so much wrong.
Is it because of your failure to understand the first law of thermodynamics?

 

[Into the Night]

You are being dishonest in your question by using the word "supporting,"

No. I'm not. That is what she is doing, supporting criminal activity.

as though you can shoehorn any protected speech into the "aiding and abetting" pigeon hole.

Supporting criminal activity is not free speech.

I would fire your question back at you: What information are you claiming is illegal under the 1st Amendment?

There is no information. It is subverting immigration law and supporting criminal activity. The 1st amendment does not even apply here.

Of course the issue you raise was resolved long ago by the publishing of the Anarchist Cookbook.

Supporting criminal activity is not publishing any book.

All the books content, how to build explosives, making and using moletov cocktails, fashioning lock picks, improvising firearms, sabotage strategies, etc. have been upheld as protected speech.

Pivot fallacy. I am not discussing any book. BTW, if you DID follow the recipes in that book, you WILL damage yourself, quite possibly fatally. You will also be violating federal and state law to do it.

Bottom Line: You may not like it, but as long as Alé Cortez is only explaining how to do something and providing information, it's protected free speech under the 1st Amendment.

There is nothing that protects supporting criminal activity.

He understands the 1st law of thermodynamics. It is YOU that ignores this theory of science.

Well then, I guess you have absolutely nothing to worry about then...


I am so glad that's settled.

MAGAts are the ones worried.

MAGA isn't a person, Sybil.

No shit, Sherlock?

Denying your own posts never works, Sybil.

Denying your own posts never works, Sybil.

Denial of logic doesn't work.

Denial of logic doesn't work.

Random phrase. No apparent coherency.

Posting something you don’t know is true or not is a sure sign of ignorance.

I don't watch vids. I'm sure there's no text to whatever the claims are.

AOC is on the run, and that is a good thang!

God is merciful. Karma is good

You wet yourself over this?

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) is facing an uncertain future after a pivotal setback this week, when she lost her race to lead Democrats on the House Oversight and Accountability Committee

The head of the minority representation on a committee that essentially leaves them impotent anyway?

 

[Althea]

AOC, in my view, may very well be the most predominant patriot remaining in this dismantled, devastated nation.

We have 77+ million people in America
who don't, by any standard, deserve to share in the planet's oxygen supply,
and wouldn't be if it were my call--no hyperbole--
so I'll not disparage a genuinely good person when I run across one.

AOC unseated a long time extremely progressive man who had a history of voting in exactly the same manner as AOC has every single time. Ten years worth.

She certainly didn't beat him on policy, or because he wasn't loved in his district. It was a primary that had a great ground game against a veteran who didn't really have a serious challenger. Or so he thought.

What you didn't get with Crowley, was fodder for opposition soundbites re. 'defund the police'.

For all of her quality work on her committee assignments, she went through the puberty phase in Congress by flapping her immature mouth. Having AOC is a liability compared to Crowley. She inspires the youth vote, which happens to have gotten trump elected...twice.

 

[IBDaMann]

No. I'm not.

Yes, you are being totally dishonest. You are framing your argument as though it is an accepted fact by using the clause "supporting criminal activity" to imply aiding and abetting crimes, which would be illegal. Nothing that is completely legal and protected under the 1st Amendment is criminal. Reword your question. Until then, my question to you is what information/data are you claiming is illegal under the 1st Amendment? You tell me that and I'll tell you how the 1st Amendment supports crime.

That is what she is doing, supporting criminal activity.

She is not aiding and abetting. Her information is protected speech. Period. Full stop.

Supporting criminal activity is not free speech.

Hence the error in your logic.

There is no information.

It's all information. You are running yourself into a brick wall. The 1st Amendment entirely protects Alé's free expression of information to whomever she wishes.

There can be only one question: Did Alé sign a non-disclosure agreement? No? Well, then she can say whatever she wishes to whomever she wishes.

The solution in this case is for DHS and ICE to practice good OPSEC and make sure nobody knows their plans and operations.

It is subverting immigration law

Nope. It is subverting deportation operations. Only Congress can alter/modify/abolish/subvert immigration law.

The 1st amendment does not even apply here.

The 1st Amendment always applies and, in this case, is the final word. All of Alé's expression is protected speech and that's as far as it will go. If you are expecting it to go beyond that, prepare to be heavily disappointed. Somebody might try to censure Alé, but that will be rather inconsequential.

Pivot fallacy. I am not discussing any book.

Of course not. The Anarchist's Cookbook falsifies your argument. You haven't ever read it, have you? It is a manual/handbook on how to break the law. It provides information just as Alé is doing. It's all protected speech.

BTW, if you DID follow the recipes in that book, you WILL damage yourself,

Not "will", but "very possibly can." Many resistance groups have relied upon that book religiously without problem. The book and its author have been investigated, ergo this entire issue has already been investigated thoroughly. It hasn't been tried in SCOTUS because nobody will waste the time going to SCOTUS just to lose handily.

You will also be violating federal and state law to do it.

... but the book itself, and the information it contains, is entirely legal.

There is nothing that protects supporting criminal activity.

There is no such thing as information that is somehow not protected under the 1st Amendment. This one's a non-starter.
