The Hawaii Supreme Court has assailed SCOTUS in recent rulings.

"The Roberts Court casually dismisses the lessons of American and world history, the warnings of prominent early Americans, and the judiciary’s storied legal minds," the court wrote.

Hawaii Supreme Court Expands Rights of Defendants, and Once Again Rebukes SCOTUS

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

The cartoon characters use visual excitement to draw people of all ages into the dramatic events unfolding & their presence UNDERLINES THE ABSURDITY of state’s claims that cities are overrun by terrorists, jihadis & leftist revolutionaries & require a militarized response.
