Genuine checking-my-own-biases question:
Feel like elite-school prof op-eds are always “here’s why this far right winger is good for liberals” or “Trump actually is a king.”

He’s just a young lad of 65 how could he possibly be expected to know anything about the Republican Party’s views on healthcare

Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."
