If I were Judge Xinis, I would order the government to produce, in her courtroom, officials who were in a position to answer her questions and to do so under oath. Letting DOJ continue to prevaricate and deflect responsibility in written submissions seems ... insufficient at this point.

NEVER grant a military parade to a draft dodger. Not a single piece of confetti for this coward's would-be coronation. He's protected us from nothing. He's put us danger & at odds with the world to get us to beg. He's indecent, inhumane & incompetent. Give him the protest his degeneracy warrants.

I'm neither rich nor without means, but to get the REAL ID that's required by May 7 --or you can't even fly domestically--it cost me $47 to get official copy of marriage document mailed to me. All I've been thinking of is how many people will NOT have the documents they'll need to vote.
