United States Attorney General Jeff Sessions from Alabama disregarded the judicial ruling from Judge Derrick Watson about the Muslim travel ban by saying …
I really am amazed that a judge sitting on an island in the Pacific can issue an order that stops the president of the United States from what appears to be clearly his statutory and constitutional power …
Now I don’t dismiss Jeff Sessions because he’s from a hellhole in the middle of the dirty south. I dismiss him because he’s an idiot.
However, there may be a good reason why Sessions was confused about Hawaii. Hawaii didn’t become a state until 1958 and Jeff Sessions thinks we’re still living in 1957.
I wonder if there’s any other states Sessions wants to exclude from being legitimate members of the Union. Oh yeah, wait. Forget I said that.
By the way, this is the same Judge Derrick Watson that Sessions voted to approve while he was in the Senate.
The Supreme Court on Wednesday invalidated a Colorado scheme that forced defendants whose convictions have been tossed or overturned to jump through several legal hoops before they could get back any fines or restitution they may have paid out before they were cleared.
In short, defendants who had their convictions overturned had to sue in state civil court to get their restitution payments back. In civil court, the burden shifts and they have to prove they are innocent instead of the other way around. In very short, it’s just a way to scam money from people unjustly convicted.
It was a 7 – 1 decision.
Yeah, Clarence Thomas feels that unjustly convicted people have no right to escape their punishment. I’m not kidding.
The lonely dissent was by Justice Clarence Thomas, who said both Ginsburg and Alito’s analyses got it wrong, and contested that the defendants in the case had “a right to an automatic refund.” He wrote that the majority’s conclusion lacked a basis in federal or state law.
To those of us who have followed him for years, it was no surprise when Bill O’Reilly got the boot from Fox Noise yesterday as a growing stream of victims accusing him of sexual harassment overwhelmed the network. After virtually all of its female anchors left, Roger Ailes was fired, and Fox’s payouts reached $13 million to Billo’s victims, the network finally took the step it should have taken years ago, but only after over 50 sponsors had pulled out.
Trevor Noah of the Daily Show described the whole sordid affair best. Here ya’ go:
Fox News has parted ways with the falafel guy hisownself.
Bill O’Reilly has been forced out of his position as a prime-time host on Fox News, the company said on Wednesday, after the disclosure of multiple settlements involving sexual harassment allegations against him.

My name is Susan DuQuesnay Bankston. I live in Richmond, Texas, in the heart of Tom DeLay's old district. It's nuttier than squirrel poop here.
I am honored and privileged to know Miss Juanita Jean Herownself, hairdresser extraordinary and political maven. Since she does not have time to fiddle with this internet stuff, I type her website for her and you can read it if you want to. If you don't, she truly does not give a big bear's butt.
A lot of what I post here has to do with local politics, but you probably have the same folks in your local government.
This ain't a blog. Blogs are way too trendy for me. This is a professional political organization.
