He illustrates the threat posed by U.S. Attorney Gen. Jeff Sessions and his colleagues to basic civil rights across the country. That’s clear from the many investigative reports by their abusive conduct.<br /><br />By means of years of his diligent reporting and commentary (repaid mostly by cruel legal reprisals), the Legal Schnauzer has documented the horrid legal/political track record in the Deep South of the Justice Department and Attorney General Jeff Sessions. <br /><br />This is now important to every decent, civic-minded American. Yet most, at least right now, are too busy or blinded by partisanship to appreciate how violations of civil rights harm not just victims from the past, but those in the future. <br /><br />It’s reported that 20 million visitors came to the nation’s capital last year, doubtless seeking and for the most part obtaining inspiration from the many historic sites. It’s worth remembering also, however, that many of the historic figures who created these attractions were controversial within their own times for innovations contrary to conventional wisdom. <br /><br />Perhaps most relevantly, the Bill of Rights appended to the Constitution was essentially a list of protections for the public against the power of the federal government, with many of those protections being undermined right now.<br />Andrew Kreighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03636590913752261818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-63943997751820443862017-05-17T01:35:08.261-05:002017-05-17T01:35:08.261-05:00OMG this whole thing has provided endless material...OMG this whole thing has provided endless material for Stephen Corbett, Noah Trevor and Seth Myers. It is all to horrible to contemplate, however when I turn on the t.v. every night and watch those guys I fall asleep laughing. its just too bad the rest of the world is laughing also. <br /><br />its not funny. A whole nation is going down the toilet. It is like watching a train wreck which is coming but you can`t stop it.<br /><br />Sessions was hired, in my opinion, as A.G. because he can be counted on to do the things he is "famous" for. he serves Trump well. the selection of a new FBI director will be one chosen by Sessions so you can imagine how well that will go for law enforcement in the U.S.A.<br /><br />Now of course we have the Russians in the oval office. My god it looked like Trump and those two Russians were having a party celebrating the firing of Comey. <br /><br />In my circle of friends here in Canada, its about all we talk about. We can`t believe the circus. of course now that we ``know`` it was Israeli information he `shared`with the Russians, eeegad. if Trump meets some strange end while in Europe don`t wonder who helped him along. or who knows the Republians if they are smart will stage the American version of a coup and get rid of Trump, well empeach him, get the ball rolling. he`s gone for 9 days. eeygds how many `secrets`will he share while abroad and with whom just so he can feel like a big shot. <br /><br />e.a.f.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-24912366787388566562017-05-16T14:03:31.068-05:002017-05-16T14:03:31.068-05:00Jill Simpson doesn't mince words.

And he's a "Little Mule" who has no respect for the U.S. Constitution, the rule of law, or even the Alabama Constitution. He is for a Dixie-fried version of the law that favors him and white elites/racists like him.legalschnauzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09619089628125964154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-238286632123751282017-05-16T12:46:28.429-05:002017-05-16T12:46:28.429-05:00Jill Simpson's use of the word "confedera...Jill Simpson's use of the word "confederates" is very interesting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-88435224090854182722017-05-16T12:45:43.709-05:002017-05-16T12:45:43.709-05:00@11:55 --

But as someone who has been cheated multiple times in court, I've had a somewhat related thought. What makes these cheaters think a victim, somewhere along the way, won't realize what has been done and use firepower of some sort (maybe even lethal firepower) to fight back? <br /><br />That's one reason I try not to cheat people -- it's a matter of doing the right thing, but also a matter of self preservation. We live in a second amendment country, with firearms everywhere, and how does Jeff Sessions know that someone he prosecuted for being a Democrat won't nail his ass someday?legalschnauzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09619089628125964154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-11882580301835812042017-05-16T11:55:37.837-05:002017-05-16T11:55:37.837-05:00Somebody should have assassinated this little pric...Somebody should have assassinated this little prick years ago.
