Not a single Michigan Republican will have the courage to condemn this.

Very slow and profoundly gullible.

Unfortunately, the only appropriate response from the government will not be forthcoming for Mr. Garcia.

I never received the MMR vaccine when I was a kid because it did not exist. I got measles as did my 2 older siblings. I have little doubt that I would be diagnosed "ASD" today and it would likely have resulted in very helpful interventions during my K-12 years.

Well that and the fact that he’s dumber than “a bag of cat hair”. Thanks. @therickwilson.bsky.social

I called my Trump sycophant of a congressional rep’s office yesterday. I was so furious my voice was quavering but I said my piece.

There is even Sopranos episode that makes the point quite powerfully. youtu.be/PbqEwfFWRhw?...

Her district is at least a D+19. The politics of that area do not translate well to a national contest.

I can’t comprehend how someone could get paid to invest other people’s money and buy into this narrative🙄….for about 4 hours.

As a college student, I worked summers at the same factory as my dad. This Springsteen song always resonated with me.

The level of naïveté displayed by folks who are paid to invest other people’s money is astounding.

This court and particularly CJ Roberts prove once again that they are unequal to the moment.
comment in response to
post
CJ Roberts and this SCOTUS have not been equal to the moment. All that you have said is true but it fails to capture the lawless character of the challenged deportation and also fails to recognize that torture and death are real possibilities for Mr. Garcia while court proceeds in”regular order”.

I called Rep. Jack Bergman about this today. I was so furious my voice shook. I already know that I will get this form letter response.

To be fair no one could reasonably anticipate a POTUS doing anything this profoundly stupid in the “Before Times”.

The GOP response? Better to deprive 15,000 eligible voters of the franchise than that these 15 voted and had no effect on the outcome.

Probably not federal prosecutions.

95 pct of my cases were in state courts in Michigan so I believe I can speak with some authority on that subject. I leave the reforms of the federal courts to greater minds than mine.

Article Two of the Constitution sets out the authority for appointing judges of the federal courts.
comment in response to
post
.At the state level, I would like to see: 1. State Bar review of potential appointee to determine suitability. 2. Gubernatorial appointment with legislative advice and consent. 3. A thumbs up or thumbs down review by the electorate of sitting judges every six years. 4. Term limits.

Compare this to Justice Sotomayor’d welcome to Justice Kavanaugh.

Better than elections if we implement some reforms.

I should know. The questions I was asked were in this order: 1. What is your stance on abortion. 2. How about gay marriage? 3. Democrat or Republican?

Electing judges is a terrible idea.

The 1850 legislation also said individuals in non slave holding states could be compelled to aid in the capture of an alleged fugitive slave.

As the punitive result becomes more draconian the need for procedural protections also increases to avoid tragic mistakes.

I do not understand the MAGA approach to history. Our ongoing quest for “a more perfect Union” is a beautiful tribute to our past and a commitment to the future.

I never believed all the stories. They were all bullshit. She’s a great person who worked for great causes life. Tough as nails and a team player in 2008. The right wing media machine made it next to impossible for her to win against an opponent, aided by Russia.
