Sad that most MAGA voters won’t take the time to appreciate something like this.

I wish I could say that liberals are particularly blessed with the curiosity and persistence needed to watch (and process) a 35 minute argument, but ...

My mother told me if you have nothing nice to say then say nothing at all.

We can argue that speaking up against injustice is "nice" for the victims. Keep these in the back pocket:

• "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do [say] nothing." — Edmund Burke

• "We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented." — Elie Wiesel

• "The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people, but the silence over that by the good people." — Martin Luther King Jr.

• "We will have to repent in this generation, not only for the evil words and deeds of the bad people, but for the appalling silence of the good people." — Martin Luther King Jr.

• "Silence in the face of injustice is the voice of complicity." — Noam Chomsky

Federal judge dismisses indictments against Letitia James and James Comey, saying Lindsey Halligan appointment was unlawful.

Prosecutors who work under Halligan argued Attorney General Pam Bondi has full authority to appoint whomever she wants to the position as long as they are qualified, and that the 120-day period serves as a sort of check-in system for those interim US Attorneys appointed.

“The implications of a contrary conclusion are extraordinary,” Currie wrote of the Halligan appointment. “It would mean the Government could send any private citizen off the street — attorney or not — into the grand jury room to secure an indictment so long as the Attorney General gives her approval after the fact. That cannot be the law. “
