Thanks for your comment. Agree 100%. Was just talking to a colleague this evening about the utter ignorance and stupidity of the current administration and cabinet. Kristi Noem got "habeas corpus" DEAD wrong ... 100% wrong. That's truly shocking in a high government official. Director of Homeland Security? More like Director of Homeland Stupidity {and Cupidity). Thanks again for stopping in to comment.
Democrats were the ones that killed Habeas Corpus. https://www.acslaw.org/expertforum/who-killed-habeas-corpus/. “the Clinton and Obama appointees to the Court seem to have lost whatever appetite they once had for contesting the conservative majority on this issue. They appear to have given up and accepted the right-wing justices’ destruction of habeas corpus as a settled matter not to be further disputed”
But more seriously, I have come to reject the entire Democrat/Republican and Left/Right model. Bill and HIllary Clinton ARE Republicans. They are moreso than Tricky Dick Nixon. Ditto with Biden. They dragged the Democratic Party so far to so-called center-right that they lost their "progressive" and "lunch bucket" bases. Your link supports this reading of the situation. Almost the only issue they have remaining is "identity politics." The MAGA "right" is the only serious antiwar movement and BOTH parties are pro-Israeli genocide. The labels are meaningless. You may be a newer reader to this blog, but I emphasize over and over again that the labels are useless; "there are only the issues."
Likewise, we should celebrate enlightened government officials and stop celebrating and electing arrogant stupidity (D,R).

Maybe so. But at least they know what it is.
