Clarence Thomas argued in his concurrence that non-citizens have no equal protection rights against the federal government. Not just Haitians. Green card holders. Visa holders. Everyone who is here but is not a citizen. That's not a dissent. That's a concurrence. He wrote that to go further. #SCOTUS

The Supreme Court agreed Damon Landor's rights were violated. Guards chained him to a chair and shaved his 20-year dreadlocks. The court said: yes, that was wrong. The court also said: you cannot sue the officers who did it. "Is that really protecting constitutional rights?" -Jeezy, S3E26 #SCOTUS
