Judaism has always held both the sanctity of every human life, and the necessity of defense in a violent world. It also insists on a demand that governs all use of force: proportion. When this is abandoned, defense collapses into domination and survival into annihilation.

Strongly worded letter from the Wisconsin State Legislature on the arrest of Judge Dugan:
"An administration that has in its first 100 days ignored court orders, violated the law, arrested the wrong people & released false information to propagate a xenophobic and white supremacist narrative."

All people are entitled to due process in any functional democracy.
That the arrest of Judge Hannah Dugan was announced by FBI Director Kash Patel's on social media is indicative of the true goal of this action - to intimidate other judges into complying with this admin’s authoritarian goals.

This. Write your name in the history books on the right side of the ledger.
Four R senators and four R House members could announce they're caucusing with the Dems for now, and will vote for Schumer for Majority Leader and Jeffries for Speaker, because the threat to the rule of law is dire. Meanwhile, they'll work with Democrats to construct guardrails against dictatorship.

Schumer: "If he defies the Supreme Court, then we are in uncharted territory ... our entire democracy is at risk. I believe that if Donald Trump should defy the courts, the public will rise up. Democrats will fight it in every single way ... autocrats only succeed if the public lets them."
