So out of touch.

Majority of Americans do not have the finances, free time and connections to sue anyone they please. Not to mention, why are private party cases the solution to state actions?

Ham head.

I think that is infact why he said this, also there is always going to be him saying no to all of it and wasting all that money. (i.e. soon to be the courts slush fund)

[–] RFKJrsBrainworm@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 week ago

He knows that.... But as long as you can say there is a path.... It makes all his Nazi bullshit okay in his mind

Doesn't matter. The courts have already granted the feds immunity for everything except for cases identical to Bivens. File as many lawsuits as you want, and you'll just waste money on legal fees before losing them all.

[–] fodor@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

Right. And even if we did all have civil rights lawyers on retainer, it still would not matter. The courts have decided that in almost all circumstances, federal agents have immunity for their actions, no matter how horrible. Torture? Assault? Sure thing, it's all covered, your lawsuit will fail.

Heck, your lawyer already knows it will fail, so they won't even file it.

That's reality. There are no checks on federal agents, unless it's identical to the one single case on file, Bivens. So you gotta pray that you live in Brooklyn and the Federal Bureau of Narcotics raids your house without a warrant. If that's you, then you will win your lawsuit. Any other situation and you're just fucked.

That doesn't make sense. Is he drunk again?

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Can't be drunk again if you never stopped drinking.

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 week ago (2 children)

The general assumption with the boofer on this question is “yes”, because HE LIKES BEER 😡

[–] crazycraw@crazypeople.online 10 points 1 week ago

He was just in the middle of having a DEVILS TRIANGLE WITH SQUEEEEEE

WOOOOOOOOOOO BEEEEER

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago

his answer to, anything alcohol related is yes.

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 48 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Come on Brett, you're the fucking Supreme Court, are you that dense not to know the whole thing is a Fourth Amendment violation of the constitution, not just when the enforcement actions are violent? The lower courts had it all teed up, did their job and now you have perverted the concept of equal rights and freedoms for racialized minorities, all in a 10-page thing a couple second year law students could have written.

[–] funkyfarmington@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago

He just likes beer.

[–] CompostMaterial@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (2 children)

The constitution doesn't have the word beer in it one single time, so Brett hasn't read it.

Counterpoint:

its our god given right to play edward 40-hands

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

The 18th and 21st amendments deal with beer so he may have read them. And the national pastime is enjoying the 2nd and 21st amendments simultaneously

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 1 week ago

hes too drunk, so he spoke the truth

[–] TammyTobacco@sh.itjust.works 26 points 1 week ago

Let's get this guy on a campus speaking tour!

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago

Hopefully your lawyer knows what state (or country) you were sent to.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

How are they going to do that if they are kidnapped and extreme renditioned to some concentration camp in another country?
