“Justice delayed is justice denied” is a quote that is attributed to British journalist and politician, Sir William Blackstone. Unfortunately, this seems to have been and continues to be the legal mantra of Trump and his bevy of attorneys that due his bidding.

We should all be breathing a sigh of relief now that the three judge panel of the DC Circuit Court of Appeals eviscerated Trump’s arguments that, as president, he enjoyed absolute immunity from prosecution for anything he did while in office.  He will likely appeal the ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court but most legal… Continue reading Feb. 7, 2024

The politically driven and seemingly inevitable death of the bipartsan ‘border bill’ that has been in negotiations for months is one of the primary news stories in the media these days.  It is very clear that the MAGA Republicans in Congress are more interested in kowtowing to Donald Trump to make sure he can use… Continue reading Feb. 6, 2024
