Justice David Souter has passed. He was a model of independent jurisprudence, defying Republicans who had hoped he would deliver consistently conservative rulings. As a justice, he became a rare convert to liberal and progressive causes, and he stood by his beliefs through it all. Rest in power.

Guys, guys, guys. It’s not math. It’s not finance. It’s not economics.

It’s all about psychology. Abnormal psychology.

Read the DSM-5’s chapters on Cluster B personality disorders.

And then it all becomes clear.

Immigrant women say they were held "like animals" in ICE detention, subjected to conditions so extreme they feared for their lives.

Told by guards to urinate on the floor. Held "like sardines in a jar," as many as 27 women in a small holding cell.

Well, I'm going to be on Morning Joe at 7:30 am tomorrow to discuss my new book. First time in almost 10 years. To talk about a book where I trash 10 of the most popular laws that enjoy "bipartisan" support in the country.

Operation: "What Could Possibly Go Wrong" is a go. :)

Hey, Politico --

I consider myself to have "long-term standing in the private legal community" and I have been willing to speak out almost every single day. And, I'm not alone.

Yes, there is widespread cowardice among law firms, but don't ignore those refusing to bow down.

Defiantly,

Marc Elias

Proud of you, Chris – not an easy feat. Stories like yours are exactly why it meant a lot to pass the ACA.
Because of the ACA, thanks Obama, I was able to afford rehab for my alcoholism. I’m going on year 9. I wouldn’t have been able to afford it otherwise. I am truly thankful. I’m just 1 of the millions the ACA has helped.

Every single member of the Columbia administration should step down.

Through their complicity and their cowardice, they've betrayed their faculty, their staff and most of all their students.

There's no way they can lead that university in any meaningful sense from this point on.
