Senator Durbin will be missed.
Senator Durbin has steadied the ship for many years. His leadership has been strong and moral, always taking the high road. I don’t remember one day of hubris or leadership tainted with the wrong path for the USA. If anything Senator Durbin conducted strong moral influence over policy written and passed into law serving all Americans.
Thank you for decades of effective moral leadership.
Thank you, Governor Pritzker.
When you are right, you are right and Governor Pritzker is right.
This democracy is build on fundamental human rights AND fairness. We are innocent until proven guilty. Within that understanding there is a clear definition of Due Process. I might point out Donald Trump enjoyed Due Process when he was arrested. Yet, he would deny it to others.
This clearly illustrates what is very wrong with the illegal use of the ancient law Trump found ARA (Alien Enemies Act). The ARA is used at a time of war and quite frankly even FDR never used it during WWII. Don’t confuse exile with detainment.
If such a provision in the law could be conjured up at any time even in times of domestic peace, we would never have a reasonable domestic peace. If such chaos were allowed to be used at will rather than within the boundaries of the definitions in the law, people would have undergrounds and methods of hiding that became a way of life.
El Salvador and the USA share many treaties, including United Nations conventions. It appears El Salvador has stepped outside those treaties to facilitate a prisoner exchange with Venezuela that otherwise would not occur. Mr. Trump managed to corrupt even international agreements.
I wish Governor Pritzket great success in reclaiming Due Process as well as international order.
Malicious Prosecution
Get used to the idea Trump and Gun Moll Bondi are going to file false charges. There will be investigations that are way out of line. What will have to occur is State Attorney Generals will have to counter file with charges against Trump and Bondi.
People and businesses have a primary address. That is the State Attorney to report malicious intent by the federal government.
Want to be an oligarch?
Buy a dinner and all corruption is possible. He is violating the ISA Constitution. But, his entire presidency to date violates something about the moral content of American life and law.
