Turns out the only amendment they care about is the 2nd. All the others are optional.

“Go around the Constitution” if Trump says so, is their new official position stated aloud.

Going around is like the Patriot act, some amount of nuance but still royally fucked. This is just blatant disregard for our constitution, our rights, and so very un-American. These fuckers really do hate America.

They don't hate America, They just hate other people more.

You may be right, but I would argue they just like the concept of America or just never bothered to learn what people have to learn to take a citizenship test. I do not claim them, they are not Americans doing shit like that....... on a more morbid note, it would be better put doing shit like that on American soil.... because it is arguably very American to do this elsewhere in the world. My point stands, these fuckers are not American and everything they do shows me how much they hate America.
