VIl. CONCLUSION There is an old adage among lawyers. If you have the facts on your side, pound the facts. If you have the law on your side, pound the law. If you have neither, pound the table.

Having neither and bringing the adage into the 21st century, she pounds X (f/k/a Twitter). Kristi Noem has a First Amendment right to call immigrants killers, leeches, entitlement junkies, and any other inapt name she wants. Secretary Noem, however, is constrained by both our Constitution and the APA to apply faithfully the facts to the law in implementing the TPS program. The record to-date shows she has yet to do that.

Judge Reyes’s conclusion: “There is an old adage among lawyers. If you have the facts on your side, pound the facts. If you have the law on your side, pound the law. If you have neither, pound the table. … Having neither and bringing the adage into the 21st century, [Noem] pounds X (f/k/a Twitter).”

I worked in a senate office. Every phone call, website comment and letter was tallied by issue and pro/con. The top ten were reported to the Member weekly. And every one was replied to. I believe most offices function this way. Calling and writing and showing up in person definitely does something.

Diplomacy, development, defense. Soft power, used well, can be very strong, be more cost-effective and keep us safer. Rubio is a rube.

Not to mention weakening the authority of the judiciary.

Thank you. We need hard pushback as much as possible.
