At some point when America is at war, terrible violations of basic constitutional freedoms will occur. So says Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.
Speaking at the University of Hawaii’s law school on Feb. 3, Scalia talked about World War II, where American citizens who happened to be of Japanese descent were placed in internment camps in the 1940s.

Look at Venezuela. Political opponents are being classified as terrorists by the government.
A Night of Long Knives if you will?
When Italy declared war on US in WW2, some local Italian American Society leaders [American citizens] were placed under house arrest for couple of years until Mussolini fell from power. Italian language newspapers were outlawed and all short-wave radios belonging to them were confiscated. But they smuggled the newspapers in from Brooklyn anyway to the arrestees.
Maduro supporters are now marching in LA.
I say we sent Miguel Cabrerra and some of the other Venezuelan baseball players to LA for some batting practice.
I am honestly kind of shocked, though I know I shouldn't be, we used to have an American Bund Society.
These stupid people never learn. At least the Soviet in Invasion of Hungary in '56 pulled the whig off the Western Marxists.
But those people are living in a fantasy world. Malaria would have people marching for it if you put a Che shirt on it.
As I understand it, Piers Morgan is planning to join them.
“War on Poverty’’. What does that mean, you shoot poor people?
