Half a million or a million dollars or more for having someone use legally acquired limited phone data in a legitimate investigation. But not a penny more to keep Obamacare affordable.
"Graham has already said that he would “definitely” sue, and “if you think I am going to settle this thing for a million dollars? No. I want to make it so painful no one ever does this again.”
Not bad. Half a million or a million dollars or more for having someone use legally acquired limited phone data in a legitimate investigation."
DOES HE THINK THAT WE THINK suing the government (i.e., we the people) takes place in a vacuum? That there is some free-floating pool of money that does not come FROM THE TAXPAYERS???
For nearly a year, Trump's DOJ has been suing states and other entities (i.e., we the people) over crap that can't even be litigated, much less won. Who pays? We pay for DOJ offense plus our states' defense, or vice versa if states have to sue the feds to get them to stay within the law. We are paying and paying and paying, Lindsey Graham. I'm not interested in handing you half a million dollars to keep me from paying you half a million dollars.
I am so pissed 😡 at Tommy Tuberville he doesn’t give a damn about nobody but himself. Not only all of this but at one point he got into trouble with a hedge fund where all the investors that he and someone else were involved with lost a ton of money they had invested. Tuberville walked out scot free with little to no consequences. I don’t want this fool as my senator and sure as hell don’t want him as my governor. I wish Doug Jones would declare his candidacy Today!
Professor Sarat, Thank you for this clear piece of assessment, worthy of the Professors I had at Amherst during the late 1960's. Fact based, clear logic, and a social conscience informed by generations of religious scholars but transformed into an ethic that transcends faith based towers and is applicable to our highly secular society. Fully in keeping with the ethos and intentions of our nations founding "fathers" and the wives who influenced them. Bravo!
Thanks for reporting on this dismal milestone. trump has so twisted the Republican party into a vacuum of morals that most are willing to protect pedophiles and steal from the American people, including their own constituents.

Why telling someone else how to play football translates to telling someone else how to run a state is beyond me.
Because we have lazy low and no information voters in this state. Unfortunately some of them are just plain dumb.
Don't talk about Tommy Tuberville like that! :)
Agreed, Senate Republicans are disgusting.
The only thing that distinguishes this particularly smelly act is that it was approved by 8 Senate Democrats.
New Democratic leadership, ASAP.
And here I thought all along that ex post facto laws were not permitted under our Constitution.
Those names need to go on a list of known kleptocrats

Of course. Republicans did what they usually do … add a NO amendment to everything. I’ve got one of my own, how about NO Republicans?
I take it back; I don’t entirely mean it …
Am searching in vain for a No-No Republican.
All we have so far are RI-NOs.
:-D
