Under the rule of law, adjudicate and retaliate do not rhyme.

At Above the Law, Joe Patrice that todays Supreme Supremacist Court has openly exchanged its robes black robes for white (my phrasing, not his).

No summary or excerpt can do his piece justice (just like today’s Supreme Supremacist Court can’t seem to do justic–oh, never mind). Just go read it.

American Stasi, Privatization Scam Dept. 0

Scripps News’s Patrick Terpstra follows the money. A snippet:

As the federal government sought more bed space, the private detention system grew faster, especially in the Texas desert where Scripps News discovered an unmarked plane offloading handcuffed immigrants at the El Paso airport. Some of the detainees were still wearing their work shirts.

A Notion of Immigrants 0

Via The Japan Times, Justin Fox debunks the racist bigots’ bunk. A snippet:

It appears that the Trump maladministration now wants to militarize our national park rangers (and, according to the report, retired park rangers do not take kindly to the idea).

Honest to Betsy, we are governed by ten-year olds using government personnel paid with our tax money in order to play toy soldiers.

We are again reminded that “suffer the children” is not scripture.

Rather, it’s a Republican family value.
