Stephen Miller on Fox threatens to arrest JB Pritzker for “seditious conspiracy” and says, “to all ICE officers: you have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties. And anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop or obstruct you is committing a felony.”
I have to laugh about this, because of Miller’s use of the phrase “federal immunity.” If you believe that for a second, I suggest you ask Derek Chauvin how he’s enjoying life. He’s serving a 22.5-year state sentence for murdering George Floyd and a 21-year federal sentence for violating his civil rights.
If I were advising the governor of any of the Democrat-run states to which Trump wants to send federal troops, I would have him tell his people that, not only is the will of the people on our side but so is the law. In fact, posse comitatus is among the most clearly written and important laws that govern our lives as U.S. citizens.
Further, if I would re-emphasize what a citizen should do if he sees an ICE officer clearly using excessive force.
ICE Officers Do Not Have “Federal Immunity” for Their Crimes

Does this guy have a solid point?
Is war a bad thing? What about rape and torture?
Do they point to weaknesses that must be strengthened?

Maybe the protestors are less concerned about length of time in office, and more with criminal authoritarianism.

Blaise Pascal, Renaissance Man–Literally
I have such respect for Pascal that I considered naming our son after him. (My wife wasn’t having it. Maybe if we lived in France?)
Pascal made important contributions to both math and physics but he’s perhaps best known for his philosophic “wager,” that it makes sense to believe in God, since if He exists, you’ll be very glad you did, and if He doesn’t, you haven’t lost anything. I counter that this is not how we accept or reject religious tenets.
