As alarming as Stephen Miller's latest comments are, today's lashing out is a sign of how weak he knows the absurd, made-up legal claims are.

After this, federal agents tear gassed the public on their way out of Elgin, per our photographer who was present. The Feds tear gassed eight Chicago neighborhoods this fall and now a suburb.

i think to understand the meaning of the birthright citizenship clause to the framers of the 14th amendment, you have to understand significance of dred scott to the civil war republican party. dred scott wasn't just a bad ruling, it was understood as a rejection of the declaration itself.

Someone once succinctly summed up the common problem with a GOP legislator’s policy proposals - “he just doesn’t understand some people don’t have any f****ing money!”
But Hawley’s proposal has the same basic flaw as Cassidy’s “HSAs for All!” Idea: They assume that most people have several thousand dollars in cash lying around which can be put into a savings account (or paid up front) in order to get savings/tax benefits later on.
