“Here’s what the plaintiffs in [Trump v. Orr] say they’re after: ‘[T]he same thing millions of Americans take for granted: passports that allow them to travel without fear of misidentification, harassment, or violence.’ While the following should be obvious, it has to be said because most people don’t seem to have noticed: Passports don’t ALLOW people to travel, they RESTRICT the ability of people to travel. They’re a relatively recent tool of government control. They’re also wholly unconstitutional. There’s a term for the government holding you in a place you’d rather not be and forbidding you to leave without permission. That word is ‘imprisonment.'” (11/08/25)
