Battleship classes are named after States.

The shear idiocy of naming a battleship class after yourself and then talking about some “golden fleet” beggars the imagination.

Wait, the administration is blaming the staff for the polygraph that Gottumukkala, a former senior IT official in South Dakota under Kristi Noem, demanded to take, so he could see info he didn’t need to know, and then subsequently failed?

WTF?

Maybe they should slow down, if they keep screwing up. Maybe ICE could follow a “process” maybe something that everyone should be entitled to or be due. Let’s call it “due process” maybe.

So is the argument that Trump violated the Constitution so badly that he’d bankrupt the US, thereby creating an emergency?

This sounds less like a legal argument than a hostage threat.
