Yep
imo of all the formal political institutions in US life, the judiciary has given the best account of itself by a pretty large margin (with the obvious exception of SCOTUS) and a younger me was way more dismissive of the courts than history would prove deserved
A magistrate judge found no probable cause to support arrest warrants for 5 people involved in the St. Paul church protest.
DOJ appealed to the 8th Cir.
That appeal led to this remarkable letter from the Chief Judge of the Minnesota district court…

0-14 would get any other team a new manager.
We’ve covered lots of losing local teams on the back page of this paper.
But none with a record as bad as the Chicago DOJ during Operation Midway Blitz:
0 convictions
11 charges dropped
3 no-billed cases
1 jury acquittal

A thought I had this morning: There is some point in your life when you have been closest to death. Maybe a car accident or near-accident, maybe a fall or near-fall, maybe accidental poison or asphyxiation.
What percentage of people do you think could correctly identify that point in their lives?

"This is another place where the Supreme Court's gradual cutting back on the scope of the Bivens remedy—the civil action against federal agents for violating the Constitution, including the Fourth Amendment—may make the most obvious form of judicial review unavailable."

DOJ: This isn't me. Don't blame me if it's wrong. I am just the person conveying the information to the Court that my client tells me. I know this is bad, but, again, if this is also wrong, it's not my fault.
