WHEN “FINAL” ISN’T FINAL
Powerline ^ | 18 May 2025 | Bill Glahn

Posted on 05/18/2025 6:07:48 PM PDT by Rummyfan

To belabor the Tim Walz U-M law school graduation speech, the descriptions and headlines of his rant don’t do it justice. Here’s what he said to the graduates,

Donald Trump’s modern-day Gestapo is scooping folks up off the streets, they are in unmarked vans, wearing masks, being shipped off to foreign torture dungeons, no chance to mount a defense, not even the chance to kiss a loved-one goodbye, just grabbed up by masked agents, shoved into those vans, and disappeared. To be clear, there’s no way for us to know whether they were actually criminals or not, because they refuse to give them a trial. We’re just supposed to take their word for it.

To begin, Walz is unable to pronounce the word “Gestapo,” so he is unlikely to have any idea of what the word means.

What Walz is describing is the process by which U.S. ICE deports illegal aliens subject to a Final Order of Removal. They already had a trial, they lost. By the time the “masked men” in those “unmarked vans” roll around, the alien in question is a fugitive.

We do not give fugitives prior warning. The prior warning was the removal order. And yes, we know they are “criminals” because the Final Removal Order declared them so.

They do not get to start from zero with a release and a new trial. That’s not “due process,” that’s endless process.

WHEN “FINAL” ISN’T FINAL

As yours truly has stated more than once, the cardinal rule of Leftism is that nothing is settled until it is settled the way the Left wants it settled, and only then is it settled--until the Left changes its stance and unsettles what had been settled. Final is never final until the Left says it's final. (This is also true of Islam, which is why the Left thinks Muslims are its brothers.)

Sez you! I'll bet the Tim Walz speech was FABULOUS!! /nudge nudge

Democrat Timmy Walz is pro-gay, pro-"transgender", pro-abortion, pro-rioters, pro-destruction (along with his wifey) - wrong on EVERYTHING - and ... apparently ... also quite FABULOUS!!

Actual malice is a legal standard in U.S. defamation law that requires public figures to prove that a defamatory statement was made with knowledge of its falsity or with reckless disregard for the truth. This means the defendant either knew the statement was false or acted with a disregard for whether it was true or false. It is a crucial element in libel cases involving public officials or figures, as established by the Supreme Court.

I think there is actual malice here......

Another aspect of Walz’s graduation Gestapo speech is that it is yet another dog whistle that Trump is Hitler.

What exactly was he trying to inspire these graduates to do?

Why have a court appearance if you’ve done no crime?

Our laws are for we citizens, not illegals, they get packed up and shipped out ASAP.

The press didn’t cover Walz’s relationship with a male high schooler who Walz and wife encouraged to attend the LGBTQ club they started NOR the young man spending the night with Walz and his wife.

“An X user from Dallas Texas, claims that Tim Walz was actively having sex with male students, bringing those students to gay bars, and allowing them to sleep over at his home while he was a teacher at Alliance High School in Nebraska. The user “Doc Net YouTube” claims to have direct testimony from 3 accusers. He says that one accuser has no evidence to corroborate his claims, but the other two do. “

He sure criticizes what he imagines America to be, while adoringly admiring what Communist China actually is…
