The older I get, the less I care much about it. I quit on the NFL years ago.

As a retired lawyer, I lived my life believing that, eventually, the Court would always do the right thing. I met my wife in law school. We started a family firm together 30 years ago. We loved the law. We are heartbroken tonight.

This government does not work for or represent my family or me. Taxation without representation. Shut. It. Down.

I don't claim to be an expert on confessions per se, but after 35 years as a felony defense lawyer, I've seen a few and this sure looks like one to me.

I dont know how many times im gonna be surprised by this supreme court. I know better than to expect different but something in me just wishes for the best. God we deserve so much better. This court has legalized racial profiling. Unbelievable, well actually believable. I hate you Clarence Thomas.

Would you let your underage daughter be alone in a room with the man who sent this fawning, naked-girl-featuring birthday card to the most infamous child sex trafficker of his generation (who at the time was the card-sender’s best friend)? No? Then why is he still president?

Sometimes, I'm just not sure if it's Trump, Miller, or Johnson I detest the most. So, I'll just put them in rotation for now. Today, it's Mike Johnson, phony Christian who sees no problem with people building close relationships with known child molesters.

Not only that, but uses imagery from a war which he avoided by claiming "bone spurs". He is a coward and a bully. Things rarely end well for cowards and bullies.

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents. In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

The President of the United States just essentially declared a war on Chicago because — wait for it! — Black and Brown people live here. This is not normal. This is not okay. And we are going to fucking fight back.
