The Onion filed an amicus brief with SCOTUS in the case of an Ohio man, Anthony Novak, who was arrested in 2016 for creating a Facebook page parodying the Parma, Ohio, police department’s page. The cops threw him in jail for it. He was eventually acquitted by a jury, but sued the cops. The...

Wilmington DE - 13.29% Hispanic Biden was a public defender there.

What "everybody knows" is quite often not quite right. An interesting look at Obama's legacy as "Deporter in Chief" https://www.npr.org/2017/01/20/510799842/obama-leaves-office-as-deporter-in-chief

Historian Heather Cox Richardson has some interesting background on the 1864 Arizona Code of Law that is cited here. Apparently, this was the original code for the territory, and was written by a single judge. The section cited is part of the code that prohibits duelling, eye gouging, and other...

@Louis That is a good list, but it lacks the zeroth item. 0. Agreement on how many immigrants are needed and can be accommodated. Evaluate separate amounts for asylum cases and general immigrants. A large group of Americans think the answer is zero for all types of immigrants. One of their...
