We've had abuses by federal officers before, and institutional endemic abuse by small local police forces. But the combination of ICE's huge expanse and reach on the one hand and apparently institutionalized abuse and disregard for the Constitution is to my memory without precedent.

For every 10 people we execute, 1 will be later exonerated. While we'll get to that 1 in a minute, let's dwell for a minute on the 9 who have never been disproven to be murderers.

The White House keeps unilaterally taking entirely voluntary actions which it openly says are intended to inflict more pain and then they're I guess surprised - along with most of the DC media - about why they seem to be taking the blame for the shutdown.
