The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

The "proper role of judges" includes acting swiftly and firmly to restrain an Executive who violates the Constitution in multiple ways by kidnapping citizens and dumping them abroad.
No amount of hand-waving by you or SCOTUS can justify allowing it to happen to even one person, much less thousands.

Marco Rubio needs to be asked whether he believes his grandfather who remained in the U.S. after receiving a deportation order from our govt should have been treated the way the father of 3 Marines was treated by ICE this weekend in California.

I gotta respectfully disagree. I think both black men AND women play an equal part in homophobia in the black community. I think the homophobia from men have more violent consequences, but a lot of black boys grew up seeing women use homophobia as a tool to emasculate men.

Trump Is Tired of Courts Telling Him Heβs Breaking the Law
Beneath the technical arguments at the Supreme Court last week was an effort to take away one of the only really effective legal tools for reining in the executive branch.
Arguments in the birthright citizenship case made clear Trump wants nationwide injunctions gone so he can nullify Americansβ constitutional rights more easily. Whatever other issues you might have with them, thatβs the bottom line here www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
