Particularly victimized by this perversion of our rule of law by Roberts and the extremist majority on the court are, of course, as always, the poor. No money=no lawyers=no ability to sue. But think about that--it means only those with lawyers & $ to sue have any hope of protecting their rights.

Environmental groups filed a federal lawsuit to block a migrant detention center being built on an airstrip in the heart of the Florida Everglades. The lawsuit filed Friday seeks to halt the project until it undergoes a stringent environmental review as required by federal law. The lawsuit filed in Miami federal court says there is also supposed to be a chance for public comment. Gov. Ron DeSantis says Friday on “Fox and Friends” that the center he dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz” is set to begin processing people who entered the U.S. illegally as soon as next week.

"This image of masked men ready to do violence is everywhere now, just as the administration wants. The practical purpose is to remove the possibility of accountability, but there’s another message it sends: Unlike even previous iterations of state violence, this is a form of power with which there is no negotiating."
