Professor Has Had ENOUGH Of “Anti-Conservative” Propaganda
Habeas corpus. It guarantees that no person can be detained without judicial review.
Under Trump-era expedited removal policies? People were arrested, labeled “non-citizens” without verification, and deported before courts could even assess their claims. That’s not process. That’s nullification. By denying meaningful judicial review, the administration stripped habeas of its core protective power. A right that cannot be exercised in time is not a right at all. Period.
For those subjected to these policies, habeas corpus was effectively, de facto, suspended.
And that alone? It makes him unworthy of the presidency.
Yes, the violation was noticed early. Yes, some parts of the administration tried corrective measures. But the core policy persisted. You could call it incompetence—but repeatedly defending or expanding a policy that destroys constitutional protections? That’s beyond error. That’s undermining the very democratic institutions a president swears to protect.
Other presidents? Sure, they’ve obfuscated, pretended to uphold due process. Usually, that’s enough to meet the bare standard. But this president? Openly admitting to breaking the law, ignoring the oath, and saying, essentially, “I will not uphold it”? That is not honesty. That is proof of unfitness.
Some presidents might be questionable. Some might be debatable. But here? No doubt. By actively defying fundamental legal and constitutional obligations, this president has proven themselves unworthy of the office.

This violation of fundamental rights was identified early, and while parts of the administration attempted corrective measures, the core policy continued. One could argue incompetence, but repeatedly defending or expanding a policy that denies constitutional protections is far beyond mere error. A president who doubles down on measures that nullify basic rights undermines the very democratic institutions they are sworn to uphold. For that reason, such actions render a president fundamentally unfit for office.Other presidents may have obfuscated or pretended to uphold due process, but unless that pretense is clear and disproven, they meet the bare standards of the office. A president who openly admits to breaking the law and ignoring their constitutional oath cannot excuse themselves by pointing to past administrations’ dishonesty. Saying, in effect, “I will not uphold my oath,” is not honesty—it is an admission of unfitness. While some presidents might be of questionable merit, this is a case where there is no doubt. By openly defying fundamental legal and constitutional obligations, this president has proven themselves unworthy of the office.
