As I detailed in ONE NATION UNDER GOD, the religious nationalism of the Cold War era was deliberately broadly drawn.
Invocations of a broadly drawn "God" were fine, but references to Jesus Christ were understood to be far beyond the pale.

I don't think there's any understanding of the First Amendment under which this ("our Savior") is constitutional. Yet they don't care, and they've eliminated all the attorneys who would've objected.
Kudos to the Goldwater and Cato Institutes for condemning it.

precious few of our national level leaders have acted as heroes this year. That has largely been a role foisted upon regular people to bear the burden of being courageous in the face of authoritarianism.

Today, I spoke with Kilmar Abrego Garcia and his wife, Jennifer. In April, when I met with him in El Salvador, Trump said he would never set foot in the U.S. again.
This case has never been about one man alone; if the govt can violate the constitutional rights of one, all our rights are threatened.

Alternate take if you are not a Trump toady like Judge Winebox: Performative militarization of a relatively safe city — extremely so around the White House — puts lives unnecessarily at risk. This avoidable tragedy all falls on the administration.

Instead of "This is inappropriate!" Democrats - especially those who might run for president - should say right now "Anyone who participates in this should know: You are committing a crime, and in the next administration you will be prosecuted."
That will change the frame of the story.

Again, it is a full-blown federal felony crime for anyone in the White House or Executive Office of the President to order tax investigations into anyone.
And it's not just a crime to DO it, it's even a federal crime for an employee not to REPORT such an order to the Treasury Inspector General.
