Not Quite Working Out as Planned

U.S. Attorney William M. McSwain issued a sternly worded statement Monday contending that Friday’s fatal shooting of Cpl. James O’Connor IV in Frankford “was the direct result of Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner’s pro-violent-defendant policies.”[More]
I don't get it. Krasner blames the NRA for Philly "gun violence"-- what more do they want?

Anyway, Chuck assured us this wouldn't happen.

License to Kill

JUDGE CHIN: What's your view on the [shooting someone on] Fifth Avenue example? Local authorities couldn’t investigate? They couldn’t do anything about it?
WILLIAM CONSOVOY: I think once a president is removed from office, any local authority, this is not a permanent immunity.
JUDGE CHIN: I'm talking about while in office, that is the [hypothetical]. Nothing could be done? That’s your position?
WILLIAM CONSOVOY: That is correct. That is correct. [More]
I see others recall this story.

I get the rationale but I'm not seeing a Constitutional power for the executive to do anything until removed from office. Conflicting rights and equal protection would demand immediate restraint.

The trick becomes where do you draw the line to keep enemies from using criminal charges as an impeachment workaround?  And we keep coming back to full due process for everyone, don't we, Mr.President?

And yet they look so wholesome...

Mr. Adams would like to share an observation with us:
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other Democrat constituencies.
I decided it could use an update.

Looks Good on Paper

Alabama court records shows that Brandyn Paonessa filed for an emergency protection from abuse order against his wife on Monday, just three days before his death. [More]
So, in reality, they're not worth the paper they're written on?

Then what's the solution?

Shannon and Gabby Welcome a New Addition

A man who Greenville County deputies shot and killed his daughter after mistaking her for an intruder trying to enter their home now faces drug charges. [More]

All Kofia and No Cattle

Billy Chemirmir, 45, of Texas is accused of murdering multiple elderly women who lived in Dallas and Collins counties with a pillow, and subsequently robbing them...Mr Chemirmir worked as a nurse in his native country of Kenya, but appears to not have been legally working in healthcare in the US. Court records indicate that Mr Chemirmir posed as an employee at the Edgemere Retirement Community in Dallas under the alias “Benjamin Koitaba”. [More]
So he's not really "of Texas," is he? And that leads to some more questions, starting with what exactly is meant by "rigorous"?
