This is literally the example I use to explain the difference between negligence and criminality: whether the driver intended to hit the pedestrian. If he had bad intentions, it’s criminal.

There will be a lot of equivocating about all the times search warrants have been executed on members of Congress for corruption investigations and the like, and it can't be stressed enough in how many ways HSI raiding Ilhan Omar is extremely not like that.

Yesterday afternoon, ICE agents — who did not present a warrant, and who appear to have been disguised as construction workers — fired 7 shots into a car with a 5-year-old child, hitting Oscar Belgal in the neck.

My personal "woke" view is that I hold men to standards; those men knew what they were doing and knew it was wrong. Everyone coming up with excuses for it also knows it's wrong but they either (a) cowardly want to avoid dealing with it or (b) want it to be debatable so they can do it with impunity.

My wife’s uncle committed suicide two years ago. He was having some problems, criminal law problems, but he was on parole. He just needed to ride it out. We learned today that his daughter has committed suicide. I don’t know why, but I have to think it had something to do with her father.

I don't like having to do this, but I have to. This is not what happened. What happened was that a handful of scholars tried to legitimate an ahistorical argument and were criticized because of it. They then spent a year engaging in abject sophistry and caricaturing their critics. They still lost.

Just after the 5-4 decision in Trump v. Barbara earlier this year, a concerted social-media push cast a small group of originalist scholars as arch-villains for “normalizing” the view taken by three of the justices—namely, that the Constitution does not require a policy of universal birthright citizenship. For some, universal birthright citizenship is so sacrosanct that any disagreement or debate is unacceptable. The only reason the question was remotely in doubt was that originalists sold their methodology for partisan gain.
