Excellent piece on Miller on habeas. Far superior to the surprisingly both-sides-ish coverage by some media. What Miller is claiming the power to do isn’t questionable or dubious. It would be anti-constitutional usurpation. www.stevevladeck.com/p/148-suspen...

The message today is clear. The arrest of a sitting mayor Ras Baraka by Ice tells you they believe they run this country, that they are completely above the law, and free to treat any person of color, regardless of rank, however TF they like. And I guarantee you Homan approved/ demanded this arrest.
