    This is really interesting because it declares the constitution applies to all people and not just citizens, which basically rules half the shit this admin does is illegal.

    The First Amendment acknowledges no “distinction between citizens and resident aliens.” The right to freedom of speech, and its correlative protection from government retribution based on hostility towards speech, has generally been accorded to noncitizens living in the United States. Am.-Arab Anti-Discrimination Comm. v. Reno (“AADC”) (9th Cir. 1995); Bridges v. Wixon (1945) (“Freedom of speech and of press is accorded [to noncitizens] residing in this country.”).

    Well

    More illegal than usual, anyways.
