Pro Attorney Tip: Always channel your inner Mick Jagger at court.
Defendant: Ms. Pogoatty is the devil your Honor! She's persecuting me! She's Satan! (3rd time he said this.)
Me: So pay your child support before I lay your soul to waste.

My daughter and I visited the house we lived in when she was a baby, and she was shocked a 29-year-old Navy guy could afford a nice house in a safe neighborhood.
That wasn’t crazy in 1996 — but today, a nice house is out of reach for so many young people. That has to change.

North Korea, China, Russia, Germany and Italy (WWII), and every other authoritarian dictatorship. It's baked into the process.
Retired 4-star Army General Barry McCaffrey said the Pentagon's threats to Sen. Mark Kelly are making the U.S. start to look like the government of North Korea.

Trump Administration bizarrely demands the University of Pennsylvania hand over "names, phone numbers and physical addresses" for anyone who "belongs to Jewish clubs or groups on campus, and anyone who works in the university’s Jewish studies program"...

Tell that to all the patients and doctors who rely on nurses every single day, from the ER to ICU to NICU to every other hospital ward to the MASH units. Nurses save lives every single day. #nursesareprofessionals

Sen. Mark Kelly has released a statement.
"If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won't work. I've given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies..."

The bill last numbered H.R. 9495 would empower the Treasury Secretary to designate any nonprofit the Secretary wishes to kill a “terrorist supporting organization” and revoke the tax-exempt status on which it depends for survival. Unconstitutional but lethal in the harm it would do while in force.

The majority of enlisted people are the NCO corps. Obviously Ms. McClain has no idea of how the military works.
BLITZER: I want to be precise. Should members of the US military obey clearly illegal orders?
McCLAIN: You're asking an enlisted person for their opinion on what they think is legal. That's a pretty slippery slope. Follow your commander in chief. That's the oath that you took
(Not a no!)
