(continued from /5)

Think again. I grew up in the household of a lawyer who ran for a judge's seat twice. I learned bitter lessons early in life about how absolutely not blind justice is in the US when money is waved under Lady Justice's blindfold.

Follow the money … right to the judge's seat and the courtroom.

As you think about judges (in this case, in the right-wing Fifth Circuit) getting on board with this program of ethnic cleansing and mass detention (see /1-4 above), think about all the money flowing around behind the scenes to purchase and fit out those warehouses as huge prisons. Think judges aren't swayed by money?

"One of the three warehouses identified in the report as already having been purchased is in San Antonio, Texas — within the Fifth Circuit. It is 'nearly 640,000 square feet,' and a local NBC report from Jaie Avila stated that the warehouse 'will be turned into a 1,500 bed ICE detention center.'"

"The proposed centers are so large that some could house as many as 8,000 detainees at once, according to a DHS spreadsheet of more than 20 potential locations that was verified by NBC News. The largest federal prison in the U.S., for example, has roughly 4,000 inmates."

The #fascist #FifthCircuit has issued yet another terrible decision: they say books in public libraries are "government speech," and the government can ban books from libraries on a whim, with no constitutional scrutiny and no recourse for the public.
The current Supreme Court obviously isn't going to overrule this decision.
This is nothing less than outright government #censorship and #authoritarianism.
There's no recovering from this any time soon.
