Menendez Jr: They feel no weight of the law and no restraint on what they should be doing. And that was shown in broad daylight today when they not just arrested the Mayor of Newark but when they put their hands on two members of congress standing behind me. How is this acceptable?

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

There is a vacancy for leadership in the Democratic Party.
It's a brand new ball game. Forget the old rules and customs. No one "deserves" anything due to age and seniority and donors.
It's up for grabs, Democrats. Time to step up. Whoever is a fighter will be rewarded.
