Val Kilmer, RIP

Val Kilmer passed away yesterday.

He put in many good performances over the years, but, to me, he will always be Doc Holliday.

Trump haters certainly don't have to wear sandwich boards proclaiming their political preferences

They're easy to spot in the wild because they all seem to look like this:

The law is not divine revelation...

...and Federal judges do not constitute a priesthood: "Judge Boasberg is not my president".

Update  Sen. John Kennedy nails it, as usual (as does "Rob Hood" in his comment, included in the post at the link: "Trump should simply write a letter to the SCOTUS, inform them of the practice, that it is unconstitutional, violates separation of powers, offends co-equality of the branches, and he will not recognize federal court jurisdiction to issue orders to the executive branch until they issue an opinion on the matter.")

Get the Hazmat suits ready

"Squad Member Rep. Pramila Jayapal Launches ‘Resistance Lab’ to Fight Trump’s ‘Dictatorship’".

Far-left squad member Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) has revealed she is part of a ”resistance lab” to fight the Trump administration.

In an interview with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, Jayapal was shown attending a training session where she warned that the country was facing the “crumbling of democracy.”

Let's look in and see how those anti-Trump secret formulas are coming along down at the resistance lab...

The latest observations from one of America's genuine wise men

Victor Davis Hanson: "Reflections on the Counter-Revolution in America".

A sample:

The Supreme Court must restore our constitutional tripartite government. The court must stop allowing the brazen lower-court judiciary’s hijacking of U.S. foreign policy and national security—and do it within the next month or so. Otherwise, a group of minor federal judges, some 300-400 unelected but cherry-picked liberal appointees, will essentially be running the country. Power has gone to their narcissistic heads, and they grow ever more emboldened as special activist lawyers—funded by foundations and political action committees—send them an endless stream of marching orders and writs.

The fact that the counter-revolution ultimately may depend on such a weak reed as Chief Justice Roberts does not exactly make me wild with optimism. On the other hand, Trump has moved with incredible boldness and courage to undo the accumulated mess of decades, so I think, if push comes to shove, he will end by defying the courts. 

Better to go out with a bang than a whimper (and T.S. Eliot would agree with me).
