Bhandari on Tufts Student: The Executive Branch Is Claiming Authority to Detain Anyone for Anything They Say Without Advance Notice

RUSH EXCERPT:
BHANDARI: "It very well may end up at the Supreme Court because this case and others like it, are a seminal test of the First Amendment, and the executive Branch is claiming a really breathtaking authority, which is we can detain and punish anyone for anything they say without giving them advance notice of what the standards are, without ever charging them with breaking the law. And it doesn‘t even have to be restricted to this subject matter. It could be on any topic. Climate change, the war in Ukraine the president‘s tariff policies or economic policies, whatever. You know, the administration decides poses a threat to its interests or foreign policy priorities could suddenly lead to someone being in detention. And and that‘s a core violation of the First Amendment and also of due process. And I would expect that eventually the Supreme Court will have to adjudicate that."
