Remember when the democrats passed the special prosecutor law and used it against Nixon and then when the republicans used it against Clinton the democrats were screaming that was unfair.

Thank you for this analysis. I am not sure I agree with your parsing of Giuliani’s words, but they are certainly as relevant as the words the judge teased out from that interview, so the interview can legitimately be interpreted either way.

The more salient issue is whether or not the President has the right to make the determination he did, and whether or not he has to disclose all the information he had at hand when he made the decision. I think on that score Trump has it right and the judge has it wrong.

But I wonder if it makes ay difference. The original TRO was shopped to a judge who would find against Trump, so the fact that his finding and that of the three-judge panel rejected the substance of the EO was a foregone conclusion. I fully expect the next EO to run up against the same dynamic.

I think the more important issue is the manner in which a very large block of resistance has metastasized. I called them sore losers for a while, but the are much more. They (and I suspect there is substantial Soros backing involved) are working round the clock to influence the American public toward several conclusions: that Trump is mentally unstable, that the White House is in chaos (what new administration does NOT flounder?), that the Russians are and have been involved since the election, and that using all means at their disposal — the courts, the women’s march, the ‘Black Bloc’ at Berkeley, the nation’s largest media outlets — as weapons against Trump is both legitimate and patriotic.

We have entered a new phase in presidential politics, where the election does not end the contest. I find this extremely troubling, and I would very much like to see some of the dissent crushed in the courts. If not, this will only get worse. Democrats have apparently not learned from Harry Reid’s moves to change the filibuster rules in the Senate that what goes around comes around. Some day the extra legal actions they are using against Trump will be used against them.

The sheikh is dead, may all future sheikhs be born still born. I am a gentle man, but somethings bring out my inner hard ass berserker persona.

Now pour a bit more wine in celebration because today I fulfilled my on line course to be a dog ambassador. I have 5 presentations lined up at local elementary schools to teach young kids how to be safe around dogs. Dogs and kids, joyful things happen where dogs and kids intersect.

“Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman, the blind firebrand Islamist cleric behind the World Trade Center bombing in 1993, has died in federal prison, Fox News has learned. He was 78.”

One that BHO couldn’t or didn’t pardon and the judges didn’t spring.
