    This is embarrassing, and something I'd expect from a senile old man watching TV all day. What news story did he see, which caused those addled wheels to turn to a place where a single institution is attacked and thousands of students are collateral damage?

    "...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

      In this case I suspect he is trying another measure in an effort to bend Harvard to his will.
      Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

      For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

      Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

        I think you're right. But he's grasping at a ridiculous straw to deflect attention from the real reason he's doing it.

          Obviously this judge sided with the law firms Trump is trying to go after. It's hard to imagine any American would not understand how Trump's EO wasn't blatantly unconstitutional. But I'm sure we'll hear soon from Trump's puppets about radical judges and how this violates Trump's Constitutional authority to suppress any legal representation he doesn't like.

          “This order, like the others, seeks to chill legal representation the administration doesn’t like," wrote Judge John Bates.

            Another total non surprise -

            A judge has issued a temporary restraining order blocking the Trump administration's plan to strip Harvard University of its ability to enroll foreign students.

            It comes a day after the administration said it had revoked Harvard's access to student visa programmes.

              Trump is going to try and depot Asian immigrants to Libya. This sounds lawful, and ethical. I'm so glad I've been scolded about worrying too much about the fate of the Republic.

                Stephen Miller wants an end to due process. There's not reason this unconstitutional philosophy won't spread to citizens. Anyone going to give who hasn't already?

                      No, I don't think I do JL. I think I've gotten a lot of scoldings and eyerollings for things that have been validated concerns. Things are only getting worse.

                        I rest my case.

                              I'm so sick of this kind of crap from our border control.Treating people like this is immoral. Seriously, someone was put in a jail cell over the border guard determining she brought too many clothes?

                              Nicolle Saroukos of Sydney, Australia, was looking forward last Sunday to a three-week vacation in Honolulu with her mom.

                              “That’s where my mother and father had their honeymoon, so it held a very like sentimental place in her heart,” Saroukos, 25, said.

                              It was Saroukos’ third visit to see her husband, Matt, a U.S. Army lieutenant stationed on Oahu. The newlyweds married last December.

                              She said she hadn’t had issues before, but this time U.S. border officials at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport flagged her for additional screening.

                              The official checking their passports “went from completely composed to just yelling at the top of his lungs, telling my mother to go stand at the back of the line and to excuse my language, ‘shut up,’” Saroukos recalled.

                              “So I automatically started crying because that was my first response,” she said.

                              Saroukos said they were then taken to a holding room, their bags and phones were searched, and they were asked a slew of questions — everything from her work as a former police officer to whether her tattoos were gang-related to her marriage to an American.

                              “When I did say that I was married to somebody in the U.S. Army, the officers laughed at me. They thought it was quite comical. I don’t know whether they thought I was telling the truth or not,” she said.

                              They kept telling me that I had too many clothes in my suitcase. So because of that, they assumed that I was going to overstay my visa,” she said.

                              Saroukos was subject to more screening. Her fingerprints and a DNA swab of her mouth were taken.

                              [The officer] said ‘so basically what is going to happen is we’re going to send you to a prison overnight where you will stay,’” she said. “Not detention center, he said prison, and I automatically just, I started crying again.”

                              “Because when you think prison, you think, big time criminals. I don’t know who I’m being housed with,” she said. Just disgusting.

                              According to Saroukos, border officials told her they would contact her husband on her behalf, but she found out later they didn’t.

                                Remember, they celebrate this cruelty. Voting for this because of trans issues, DEI or Biden's dementia or paranoia about immigrants wasn't worth it.
