Raskin: What makes somebody a good lawyer?
You have to identify with the people who are the victims of injustice — not with their perpetrators.
So I would say to Pam Bondi: If you’re going to stand with the victimizers and not the victims, then you’re not a real lawyer.

ICE stopped a U.S. citizen, smashed her car window, dragged her into the street, and tossed her passport after reading it. Agents hid behind masks, refused to identify themselves, then walked away once they decided she “didn’t count” as deportable prey.

Democrats must stand firm on this point. Compliance with a protection present at the birth of our republic should be “non-negotiable.” If complying with the Constitution is intolerable, ICE must be abolished and replaced with an agency that views the Constitution as its charter, not an obstacle.

The requirement of a warrant based on probable cause to enter a person’s home is a touchstone of the Bill of Rights. According to John Adams, the British practice of issuing “general writs” authorizing unbounded searches of homes led to the “first Act of opposition” in the Revolution.
