You know it, and I know it, but does the Supreme Court know it?

But don’t ask the In’t’l Man of Mystery if maybe he should be on a No-fly list.

There are, however, practical difficulties. Anyone who is on this list, and actually is an Islamic terrorist, is not very likely to bring a lawsuit....although you never know with these guys.

So, the no-fly list is comprised of people who the government thinks "may be a threat to national security".

Maybe us peasants should create a secret "no-public office" list, which will be comprised of people who We The People think "may be a threat to our Natural Rights".

Dannel Malloy looks like a good candidate for the list.

Un-frakin’-believable. Did this moron not know this was unconstitutional, and what’s more, illegal (18 US Code section 242, Deprivation of rights under color of law)?

“Unconstitutional”

Since when has that stopped the totalitarians in Washington, D.C.?

This even gives the totalitarians the opportunity to put everyone on the “No Fly List”.

If the no-fly list is going to be used for the no gun buy list, a lot more people won’t be flying. The temptation to make a great big list will be too great for the POS dictator.

Democrats just discovered for the first time that the Constution exists after Trumps moslem speech. Except for tge Second A.endment. They haven’t come to the due process part yet.

FOIA request for the ‘no-fly’ list along with any determining criteria for people to be added to the list, and the official methods to appeal the appearance and ‘correct’ errors that may appear.

That is why this will never actually go into effect, as there’s few courts in the US who would deny such a request, and no courts of appeal which will uphold the government’s denial of releasing the list as it is being used to specifically determine who can and can’t exercise a basic right.

Corrupt Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy never let anything as trivial as the law or the Constitution get in his way.

So, where in the Connecticut Constitution does it say that the Governor can issue a diktat and it becomes “the law”?
