You shouldn’t have to attend law school to practice law. I hadn’t realized that you could pass the bar without a J.D. in California. That seems far too sensible for this state.
[Update a few minutes later]
Reading through the piece, it becomes hugely clear what a monstrous scam the bar associations are.
[Update a few more minutes later]
Why are the bar pass rates sunk to record lows? Gail Heriot (from whom I got this link) may have an answer, and it’s all part of the general “progressive” scam.
Yes, what happened here does dwarf Watergate in its corruption and criminality. And yes, it should be, but sadly is not amazing that the Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) continue to attempt to deny that the previous administration spied on the political campaign of its political opponent.

No, Joe Scarborough (who has descended deep into idiocy since he teamed up with Mika), the FBI investigation was not “done by the book”:
Presumably some of the spying on the Trump campaign was done “by the book,” but that doesn’t include using false information as pretext to spy on Americans, attempting to extort elected officials through bogus investigations, refusing to charge ideological allies who committed crimes, lying to Congress, refusing to respond to congressional document requests, using intelligence and law enforcement as “insurance policies” against political enemies, widespread unmasking of political opponents and dissemination of their information, using foreign spies to produce evidence not permissible in court, circular introduction of “evidence” to government agents that is reintroduced through media leaks, and various other actions taken by federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies.
Scarborough would have you believe that these actions are completely typical and normal, that informants are placed against campaigns all the time. If that’s true, who else are they doing it against? Can Donald Trump’s officials open investigations against the many Democratic candidates without notifying Congress, using bogus opposition research to secure wiretaps? To quote an MSNBC morning host, “Is he that stupid?”
Why, yes. Yes he is.
[Update later Tuesday morning]
Behind the shady plan to spy on the Trump campaign.
[Bumped]
The new NPRM has been released. People have until mid-June to comment.
Can Trump legally move the illegal immigrants to them?
While it does put the Democrats in a logical bind, it may be, though, as the article points out, that he’s being too clever by half:
The plan would put thousands of immigrants in cities that are not only welcoming to them, but also more likely to rebuff federal officials carrying out deportation orders. Many of these locations have more resources to help immigrants make their legal cases to stay in the United States than smaller cities, with some of the nation’s biggest immigration advocacy groups based in places like San Francisco, New York City and Chicago.
Well, that could be an oopsie.

Spartacus says that moving illegal immigrants to sanctuary cities “makes us less safe.” Didn’t he get the memo? These are the most wonderful people in the world.
[Update a while later]
Yes, Democrats have no interest in illegal aliens, other than as a route to power. Which makes the irony of them declaring that Trump is using them as “political pawns” exceedingly rich.
…are garbage.
Yes, I’ve always thought this was stupid, since California implemented it. If you don’t wash the reusable bags regularly (and many probably don’t), they’re a public-health nightmare.
Thoughts from Ann Althouse on the “threat” to send the wonderful immigrants to sanctuary cities.
Per one of the comments, one of the many reasons they’re squealing like the stuck pigs that they are is that sending the newcomers to blue cities and states defeats the purpose of importing large numbers of new Democrat voters. Obama always flooded the red states with them.
And yes, they are being NIMBY about this (as with much else).
And yes, this is still appropriate, half a century later.

Tucker Carlson: Trump calls the Democrats’ bluff on illegal immigration.
He really has put them in a box.
[Update a few minutes later]
Democrats are furious that Trump has exposed them for the virtue-signaling hypocrites that they are.
Unlike Matthew Continetti, I refuse to call them “liberal.” I hope that this is indeed an “extinction-level event” for them.
Meanwhile, Brian Cates writes that Trump is now fully unleashed.
Not possible to believe that he wasn’t in the loop. Particularly since he had been emailing her on the private server.

Meet James “Cardinal” Comey, the man who destroyed the FBI.

Just as there is no fighting in the War Room, there is no spying at the FBI.
Yes, that is what California has become. Don’t know how much longer we’ll hold out.
Let us count the ways. It’s hilarious to watch the Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) hie to their fainting couches at Barr’s honesty.
[Update a few minutes later]
The Democrats’ mindless railing against Barr will end badly for them.
