Jordan Gets Arrested Standing Up for Undocumented Students’ Rights - Klepper

[@ryanrgarza]

Honestly Klepper is golden. Comedy Central needs to keep these coming. even if it hurts ratings. Give him his time, and he will help and entertain american politics in a great way.

Yup, they were super patient with Larry Wilmore and let @midnight stay on the air even though they wanted more political shows later at night. Oh, yeah, they didn't do that either.

@Kim Jong Un I think they were the illigals that were brought as kids and since they've been here for a majority of their life they think they should get citizenship

[@Alsk34XKotomi]

I never realized that the US open these meetings with prayer. From a foreign person’s perspective, doesn’t that defeat the purpose of separation of church and state? What happens if there are people that aren’t Christian?

[@LadyShareBear]

I was similarly confused by the prayer as well as when they were removed. In the US, they have the right to peaceful protest. The protesters, although their tactic seemed odd, were peaceful.

[@ewp1]

If people who aren’t Christian bring that up as an issue depending on which state they’re in, they may be told to shut up or go back to whatever country they’re from.

America is a Christian nation. The whole religious freedom thing is a facade

[@oremfrien]

Kotomi Sakura - This is actually a very fraught US Constitutional Issue which has gone to the US Supreme Court in multiple instances. The most recent and relevant on this issue is "Town of Greece v. Galloway" in 2014. The verdict was 5-4 (all conservatives on the Supreme Court in favor of prayer at public meetings and all left-wingers on the Supreme Court opposed to prayer at the public meetinhs), permitting that prayer can be used to open government processes because (1) the prayer is a longstanding tradition as opposed to an expression of faith, (2) minority religious individuals can be chosen to give invocations from time to time without discrimination, and (3) non-adherents do not have to participate in the praying. I personally find the left-wing argument against prayer at public meetings as being much more reasonable as it is a violation of the separation of church and state, but, as you can see from even the left-leaning preachers, church leaders believe that they have something to say about politics from a religious standpoint.

@BeforeTheBridge Unlike Trump, who I am sure you love, some people do things for reasons other than ratings. But I don't expect a Trump supporter to get that. I mean Trump has never talked about ratings right?

[@ItRemindMeOfHome]

Ok, this has always confused me. It's a public hearing, in a public building, where publically elected officials are there to hear the public. How the hell can you be charged with "criminal trespass" for showing up? *We* are the public, *we* own the building, in that regard *we* should be the ones capable of removing police or politicians from the premises, not the other way around. Those people, by definition, work for *us*

[@Liliputian07]

ICE don't need a warrant - or a reason - to arrest. that is... official policy right now

[@bigtex1238]

This comment is wise , thank u brother !

[@oremfrien]

"where publically elected officials are there to hear the public." -- This is incorrect. The public is permitted to see the meeting, but not to be heard. Think of it like a Broadway Play with free admission; so if you cause a disturbance to the meeting, it would be like causing a disturbance at a Broadway Play.
