Excellent commentary on a story that is repeating around the country. We need to move past our 'righteous indignation'.

They're squealing east of the mountains about the federal job cuts and the disruption caused by tariffs. One awkward question is: Should we care?

Peace, justice and strong institutions. Grab a shovel!
Call this naive shitlib lawyerbrained wishposting if you want but I didn't spend 7 yrs in school and 18 in the trenches to walk away from what's coming. Either grab a shovel and join where you can or stand aside and let us help the people who can be helped. That's what I can do. Do what you can do.
Do not obey in advance means defending ideas as institutions until you lose that fight. I simply cannot tell this loud enough— the law, our Constitution, means what we say it means. Let the Supreme Court tell us we’re wrong. But until then, cede no ground to corrupted visions of law.
