One Flew Over Mar-a-Lago

Yesterday, after President Trump said he would pursue the impeachment of a “radical left lunatic” judge appointed by “Barack Hussein Obama” who attempted to force a plane of illegal immigrant gang members back to the states, Chief Justice Roberts publicly rebuked the executive — a rare and somewhat shocking act. “For more than two centuries,” he said, “it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision.” Then: “we do not have Obama judges or Trump judges,” we have an “independent judiciary.” Listen, it was a nice statement, and we do love our checks and balances. But the left has been screaming “right wing courts” for years as they tried to pack them, and now the right has joined the chorus. I agree we’re supposed to have an independent court, but if there’s nobody left who actually believes it? I’m not sure it can even theoretically exist.

One Flew Over Mar-a-Lago

Five Republican state senators in Minnesota have introduced a bill that would officially classify “Trump Derangement Syndrome” as a mental illness.
