When Deference is No Longer Due

Reasons for historical deference to the executive branch's judgement in matters of national security have been severely undermined.

Stevens: There’s $1.3 trillion of credit card debt. There are people putting grocery bills on credit cards and then paying interest on them. We are in an affordability crisis. Coffee is up 20%, beef is up 16%, bacon is up over 10%. And now we’re going to see health care costs skyrocket.

Today my daughter's preschool is holding a farewell assembly for one of her classmates whose mother has no choice but to self deport. The school is hoping it will be joyful in tone, so we might make this less upsetting for this 3 year old. There's just no words for the uselessness of this cruelty.

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning. A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

Three key points: 1) The admin has been planning mass firings to begin in October since February 2) The work necessary to carry out mass firings is illegal during a shutdown, violating the Antideficiency Act, which carries a criminal penalty 3) This harms America, ridding us of talent and expertise

Something important to note here: it doesn’t matter if these cases have no legal standing. The point is to tie up the opposition in legal morass. This is taken exactly from Erdogan’s playbook in Turkey. Read Ece Temelkuran’s How To Lose A Country.

An independent court doesn’t help one man evade justice. An independent court doesn’t silence voters, ban abortion, and purge independent agency watchdogs. This court has chosen sides—and it's not the people. We must remind them. This country is FOR and BY the people.
