The Rule of Lawless 0

The Arizona Republic reports that right leaning Arizona State Supreme Court Justice Clint Bolick is worried. Here’s a bit of the story, which refers to the Trump maladministration’s arresting and detaining immigrants (and some American citizens thought to immigrants, likely because of the color of their skin), often without cause and with observing due process:

“As if this concept (due process–ed.) was created by rogue liberal judges to help illegal immigrants stay in the country,” Bolick said. “Due process is the most foundational legal principle protecting individual liberty in Western civilization. It dates back to the Magna Carta. It does not deserve to be in quote marks.”

Bolick said Miller’s comment about potentially suspending habeas corpus if the courts didn’t do the right thing could be seen as a way “to intimidate the courts to reach decisions that they favor.”

The entire report is worthy of your attention.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
