Yes, but even without stacking the court, it'll be the same problem as always.
The people who can't just come up with hundreds of thousands of dollars for lawyers will be snatched up. Organizations founded on being the defense of these people like the ACLU will close their eyes because the victims are alt-right nazis or incels or whatever the magic word will be.
Those that can afford a defense aren't going to get extradition orders because all it takes is one SCOTUS decision (as you point out) to put things right, so going after, say, popular Twitter users and the like, simply won't be done. Similar to the strategy of NY, for example, with gun control and cheeky removing anti-2A laws once they get appealed high enough in the hopes that the court will rule things moot instead of actually rendering a decision.
The only hope would be for someone with money to swoop in to the defense of someone who doesn't. And even then, it's still lighting money on fire.
Sure. But in this particular case, I have no doubt that Elon would be jumping at the chance to fund the first case they try this on. He won't just sit back and let the UK destroy Twitter.
I hope the UK police are stupid enough to try it. It will absolutely blow up in their faces.
It's this attitude that leaves you shocked if and when it happens. Maybe when someone makes a threat (and they have the means to even remotely try to achieve it), it should be taken under advisement?
A lot of things have come to a head at the moment. And a lot of idiots who don't understand the power they're playing with are overplaying their hand. How people react could change a lot of things. I'm not hopeful, but it's possible. But equally so, doing nothing and giggling at them won't change things at all. It'll just facilitate the status quo.
This attitude is because I am armed to the teeth like millions of other Americans, which is why this will go absolutely nowhere here. The cops may be evil and dumb, but they aren't suicidal.

Who says we are doing nothing? We are in the middle of taking over the Republican party and putting our anti-establishment candidate in the White House again. And if you think laughing at them isn't effective then you weren't paying attention in 2016. The entire reason that globohomo went mask off and stopped slowly boiling the frog, which directly led to enough people waking up to the scam and resulting in this response from the police is because we laughed at them. It terrifies them that we aren't scared of their sabre rattling, and they are making panicked, self-defeating decisions because of it.
And what exactly have you done so far? No really. You've had your rights infringed upon over and over and over. And every time you fuckers claim you'll do an uprising at some point, but you never fucking do. Look at the lockdowns for example. Hundreds of thousands of people lost their jobs. These fuckers have done so much to you. And not once did you do shit. Neither did I. Nobody did shit. Because you'd always do it next time. Next time, the people would rise up and we would revolt! Because last time juuuust wasn't far enough.
But this time, however...
You're not wrong that we have the strength. But are you ready to use that strength? Because I don't think people are. I don't think shit has hit the fan enough for that. People are comfy. The like what they've got, and they don't actually believe it's at risk enough. Revolutions happen because losing their lives is better than the alternative of losing.
You're mocking them for rattling sabres, but I'm not seeing anything but sabre rattling in return. It's all bark and no bite, because you somehow believe that the system can be reformed. Tell me one point in recent history that it was actually reformed. And to give you a window, let's say anything past 1990. Show me any time it has actually been reformed. Until then, it's still going to be all bark and no bite as you continue to back a 90s Democrat and believe that somehow means you're a true Right Wing Champion because you've defined your views in opposition to the Left.
There aren't enough people at the third box yet. And if you think people in the UK getting exactly what they keep voting for is going to somehow throw Americans into a revolution, then I don't know what to tell you.
I am mocking them because I literally don't give a fuck about the UK, and their threats here are completely impotent. I don't care if their system can be reformed, and I don't care what their police or politicians think about my political views. I can't control what goes on over there any more than these idiot limey cops can control what I post on twitter. If they think they can control me then I encourage them to try.
Speaking of which, I'm all out of fucks to give about whether my views are hard-core enough for you either.
Good luck with that. We haven't been subjects of the crown for over two centuries. Your laws don't mean shit here.
I have no doubts a Dem regime would absolutely hand over US citizens because of muh white terrorism or whatever.
That'd be grounds for citizens to take corrective actions against the government.
They had better stack the Supreme Court first then, because they will be smacked down hard otherwise.

Justice is expensive. By design.

If Kamala wins I’d expect it.
