A new wave of departures is rippling through the U.S. Attorney's office in Minnesota, where additional federal prosecutors are leaving at a time of mounting frustration with the Trump administration's stepped-up immigration enforcement and the Justice Department's response to fatal shootings of civilians by federal agents, two people familiar with the matter said Tuesday. The latest departures are on top of a half-dozen attorneys who left the office last month amid disagreements over the Justice Department's response to the shooting of Renee Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer. At least one supervisory agent in the FBI's Minneapolis office is known to have resigned last month as well. The Minnesota Star Tribune reported Monday evening that eight lawyers have since departed the office or announced plans to do so. A person familiar with the matter, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss non-public personnel moves, confirmed that this number was correct and that more departures were likely. Another person also confirmed a new wave of departures in the office. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/more-departures-at-the-us-attorney-s-office-in-minnesota-ap-sources-say/ar-AA1VAiJI

More judicial professorship. Judge's opinion and order regarding ICE attacking protestors. It speaks to issues regarding unconstitutional behavior on the part of government. Judge orders federal officers to stop teargassing 'Portland chicken' and other nonviolent protesters and journalists at ICE facility A federal judge in Portland, Oregon issued a temporary restraining order on Tuesday that bars federal officers from shooting or firing tear gas at nonviolent protesters and journalists outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in the city’s residential South Waterfront neighborhood. The judge's opening remarks. Amen, Your Honor. In a well-functioning constitutional democratic republic, free speech, courageous newsgathering, and nonviolent protest are all permitted, respected, and even celebrated. In an authoritarian regime, that is not the case. Our nation is now at a crossroads. We have been here before and have previously returned to the right path, notwithstanding an occasional detour. In helping our nation find its constitutional compass, an impartial and independent judiciary operating under the rule of law has a responsibility that it may not shirk. For that reason, and as more fully explained below, the Court grants Plaintiffs’ motion for a temporary restraining order.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., said he was "not in favor" of federalizing elections a day after President Donald Trump said on a podcast that Republicans "ought to nationalize the voting.” “That’s a constitutional issue,” Thune told a reporter who asked him about Trump's remarks. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/senate-gop-leader-john-thune-says-disagrees-trump-congress-nationalize-rcna257260 Well, unlike the orange guy, at least he knows it's a constitutional issue. And he actually said so out loud. I guess that's something. edit: Mike Johnson, OTOH, is still a complete idiot.

Thanks for that article, Bernard.

How many people have your seen try to bring """service animals""" in somewhere that clearly weren't really? How many people don't quite honestly file taxes? How many people speed when they drive or don't come to a full stop? How many people aren't quite honest when writing a resume? The list could go on...

I would not use the word "critique" to describe A.O. Scott's explanation of why Biery's order is a masterpiece of judicial writing.

Interesting. Here in Illinois, the inspections are done by a state agency and you don't pay anything. Well, except the taxes that we pay to support state government. If your car flunks you can't renew your license plates until you can pass the inspection.

Did he sleep his way to the top too?

We're getting a break! Only 40 feels like 38 tonight, 60 today and 65 tomorrow!

@wtg said in Kennedy Center: Don't forget the Arc de Trump. Or the Institute of Peace. Is the Arc de Trump something he wants to build or something he wants to put his name on? I can't see him renaming Washington Square Park, Trump Square Park, or the Washington Arch, Trump Arch. This probably wouldn't be grand enough for him.
