The Walls Are Closing In
I hope so. They’ve gotten away with too much, for far too long, going all the way back to the nineties, aided and abetted by the “mainstream” press.

Link included now, sorry.
And there’s this: Yes, the president’s acquittal was real, and it was spectacular. And yes, the impeachment wasn’t just a waste of time; it was very damaging.

Sigh…
Link is now not just included, but correct.
[Update early afternoon]
The media hate the Frankenstein’s monster they created.
[Monday morning update]
This post is snake bit. I’ve added the link for the last one.
Seventeen Years
Ian Kluft remembers seeing Columbia breaking up, from California.
[Sunday-morning update]
Here are my thoughts from that day. If you click on “Next Post” you’ll read a lot more from the hours and days that came after.
The FISA Court
Shut it down. But punish those who have been abusing it. I suspect the Trump case is not the first one; they just made the mistake of going after a president.

If they insist on witnesses, I want to see Schiff on the stand, under oath.
[Update a few minutes later]
Someone on an email list I’m on questioned whether or not it would be permissible to force an impeachment manager on the stand. I see no reason why not; the Senate makes the rules.
[Update mid aftenoon]
Impeachment has become simply another bludgeon in political battle.
A.G. Barr
27 problems with the latest media attack on him.
Only 27?
The Bush Fires Down Under
The inconvenient facts.
It’s just more climate ambulance chasing.
