Here's important context: ICE has admitted to classifying people as MS-13 without any evidence they're actually in the gang, as a way of ensuring they don't get bond during immigration proceedings
It is reprehensible to post this clip without noting that Trump was asked a question about the MS-13 gang members crossing the border.
This quote is flying around without that extremely important context, and that does not happen by accident.

The weird part is that we've somehow as a society gotten to the point where 2 years of clerking, 3 years of practice, and 3 years as an appellate judge is suddenly adequate qualification for the highest court we have
It's like affirmative action for the religious right
The Democratic Party is failing to persuasively explain why the Senate shouldn't even consider Amy Coney Barrett, and it's failing to make a persuasive case against Barrett herself. Republicans are clearly winning this battle. Democrats are blowing it.

No, voting is not a "privilege," you constitutional illiterate.
"Undeniably, the Constitution of the United States protects the right of all qualified citizens to vote, in state as well as in federal, elections."
Reynolds v Sims, 377 US 533, 554 (1964)
I am pleased that
@FLCourts
confirms that Amendment 4 requires fines, fees & restitution be paid to victims before their voting rights may be restored. Voting is a privilege that should not be taken lightly, and I am obligated to faithfully implement Amendment 4 as it is defined.
