I'm expecting he'll also want to honor a military figure from the Revolutionary War, too –– Camp Benedict Arnold.

Whenever someone on a tv news panel mentions "Posse Comitatus", I always expect the other panel members to respond "et cum spiritu tuo."
That's what Catholic school does to you.

In a past not all that distant, press coverage of governmental expenditures in Russia and China frequently emphasized how those countries' resources were directed toward military spending, at the expense of programs that helped their people.

In a culture that places such importance on chain-of-command obedience, I expect that illegality is a distinction that gives scant comfort if you’re still stuck having to follow those orders from a commander-in-chief which are merely ill-advised, unethical, unscrupulous, or just plain stupid.

In fact, bringing some form of lèse-majesté charges for criticising administration officials is likely made even easier if the respondent isn't around to refute them. Ex-parte judgments are easier to get than when contested. Self exile doesn't solve much unless the move is intended to be permanent.

Why are there no suits for Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law against Holman, Noem, Bondi, Tmurp, et al (18 U.S. Code § 242)?
The statute holds these miscreants 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 responsible with both fines and jail time.

I really wish that you and some of the other legal literati seen on tv and social media could be persuaded to file 'amicus patriae' briefs in some of the high-stakes litigation involving the many crimes and abuses of this presidential administration.

This crap isn't gonna stop until they're 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 held responsible: fines and jail time. Maybe magaworld won't think it such a good idea when judgments for civil rights violations start making multi-millionaires of the very people they hate the most.

For reasons I don't understand, some Democrats seem uncomfortable with the notion of impeachment.
Okay, what they should do is DEPOSE him. That's the term generally used when you want to get rid of tyrants.

Struggling to find a 100-day accomplishment?
On Inauguration Day, there were 10 hours and 30 minutes of daylight. Today, that sunny figure has soared to 14 hours and 8 minutes! Only his unsurpassed humility has kept him from taking credit for this astronomic achievement (bigly scientific too).
