It would be a shame if people kept reposting it over and over.
And did they dismantle and save the woodwork?
BREAKING: A divided full en banc 9th Circuit appeals ct allows Trump to keep national guard troops in LA.

BREAKING: Two Trump-appointed 9th Circuit appeals judges allowed Trump to keep 200 national guard troops in Portland for another 60 days. A scathing dissent by Judge Graber urged the rest of the court to overturn this order & end the "illegal deployment of troops under false pretenses."

Nobody cares about the victims in the Dallas ICE shooting apparently. The first I've heard about one of them was on CNN today. He's fighting for his life in the hospital --- he was brought to the US when he was 13. He's 33 now. No criminal record.

I just don't know what to say anymore.

🚨BREAKING: Pennsylvania Supreme Court RULES that election officials violated voter’s rights by rejecting mail-in ballots with technical errors without notifying voters. Voters must be given notice their ballots won’t count so they can challenge the disqualification or cast a provisional ballot.

BREAKING; former FBI director James Comey indicted, 2 counts. False statement to congress and obstruction of justice.
Like Spiro Agnew, I bet Homan didn't take just one bag of money.
Trump names Lindsey Halligan, a WH aide with no prosecution experience, to be interim US Atty in E. Dist. of VA. She replaces the guy Trump fired for not prosecuting NY AG Letitia James and former FBI director Jim Comey. Wonder what she'll do?
The former Soviet Union built Bagram in the 1950s. Not the US. We didn't step in until after 9/11. He's an idiot.

Most corrupt DOJ of my lifetime
In a landmark victory in 1951, the Calif Ct of Appeals ordered the UC to reinstate the profs. In 1962, Pres Kennedy named Weigel a federal judge in SF, largely for his courage in the loyalty oath case. He served until 1997. Sometimes it takes just one person with courage to stand up.
They eventually went to young lawyer Stanley Weigel. Even his firm thought it would be bad for business, so they told Weigel he could take the case as an individual and not as a firm. He did. He represented 21 professors.
A group of professors objected that it violated academic freedom. In 1950, the Regents voted to fire 157 employees, both academic and non-academic, for refusing to sign the oath. The number was soon reduced to 31. They went to law firm after law firm for help but turned away.
