Greetings from New Orleans, where we are fond of king cake, Mardi Gras royalty, Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, B.B. King, Elvis Presley, my son’s friend Nate and many other Kings- we are not at all fond of a President who thinks of himself as a King, nor of a Congress that enables him to do so

May it be so, for her and all others imprisoned without due process.
FOR ALL OF THOSE REASONS, COURT FINDS THAT HER CONTINUED DETENTION CANNOT STAND.

BAIL IS NECESSARY TO MAKE HABEAS REMEDY EFFECTIVE.

It's tough to refer to someone as a criminal if you've given them no due process to determine whether they're a criminal. Like if you get arrested and get a trial and are convicted of 34 felony counts. That's due process. You can call that guy a criminal.

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.

Your tax dollars at work, telling the Jesuits at Georgetown they can’t live Catholic social teaching.
The Post Millennial published a letter that Ed Martin, the acting U.S. attorney in DC, sent to the dean of Georgetown Law.

“It has come to my attention reliably that Georgetown Law School continues to teach and promote DEI. This is unacceptable. I have begun an inquiry into this…”

For example, we learned yesterday that IRS employees who have already accepted OPM’s offer were told that instead of resigning on February 7, they are now required to work until at least May 15. Apparently, there’s this thing called “tax season” that OPM didn’t account for.
