Random Wednesday Morning Thoughts

The former New England Patriot would then be sentenced to life in prison without parole. He would kill himself in prison two years later.

• Another school shooting. 
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Texas School Voucher update: It's on the House floor today.  But there's a proposal floating around to let the voters decide on whether school vouchers should become law. I like that idea. 
  
  
  
• It's pretty clear if you haven't even asked the President of El Salvador to return the man that you aren't doing anything to "facilitate" his return. But we are all learning that courts have no power if the Executive Branch wishes to ignore them. 
  
  
  
  
• If everything would have been done correctly, the worst that could have happened to the man is that a judge would have ordered him to be deported.  That is, ship him to another country and tell him to go live his life there. Instead, he was taken off the street, the courts were bypassed, and he was moved to a hard core prison.  And the Trump Administration doesn't care.

  

  That's him.

  
  
• And if he had instead been a person who Trump deemed an "undesirable" American citizen, it would be him in that photograph and he would be in in the same legal hellhole.  And that's coming. Maybe not to that particular prison, but it's coming. 
• Nothing like the beauty of Big Ben being accented with U.S. Troops.
  
  
  
• Expect more and more and more of these type of prosecutions. "I am your retribution."
  
  
  
• The referral is based on what?
  
  
  
• Wise County Rep. Andy Hopper has made the news.   
  
  
  
• You can tell Cornyn is running for re-election since he has joined this Islamophobia bandwagon about a community in Collin County that is only a patch of dirt right now. 
  
  
  
• Impressive.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• I don't understand this controversy at all.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• In Wise County, a framed copy of the Constitution fell off the wall over the weekend in one of the prosecutor's offices common areas.
