I remember when language guru William Safire called Hillary Clinton a congenital liar (overlooking all the her practice and hard work).

Hard to work up the indignation when you knew you were being lied to at the time and cheerfully repeated the lies.

I oversaw global health programs at @USAID.
They reached 100s of millions of people, added 6 extra years to the lifespan of children in partner countries, and were eradicating health threats worldwide.
What insanity and cruelty to break that.

Just left messages for both Van Hollen (conveying appreciation) and Alsobrooks (conveying disappointment and urging spine-stiffening). I encourage others to do the same.
Alsobrooks (202) 224-4524
Van Hollen (202) 224-4654

You are also responsible for arguments you try to elevate from crank status! There is no moral, intellectual, or professional obligation to pretend you aren't being lied to.

Her own personal wealth is shared by Trone’s predecessor in that seat, who used it to win the seat and then, hilariously, to run for President.

It’s a silly presumption. But I read the underlying accusation as asserting the judge acted in haste, not in bad faith. (I disagree: a TRO is a very temporary measure, so if a hasty review indicates the law is *blatantly* unconstitutional and the equities favor the plaintiff, go ahead and issue it.)
