Rep. Bryan Steil (R-WI) —dragged at his own town hall.
He should have known when it kicked off w/constituents reciting the Pledge of Allegiance w/extra emphasis on “justice for all.”
Then came the truth:
“I don’t think you’re the right fit for us anymore.”
Even telling him it’s time to step down.

INCREDIBLE opinion by Wilkinson refusing to stay Judge Xinis's orders in the Abrego Garcia case, condemning DOJ's arguments as "shocking not only to judges, but to the intuitive sense of liberty that Americans far removed from courthouses still hold dear."

The Fed provides the best example of the importance of having “independent” executive branch agencies.
