Still waiting for business owners to realize the GOP wants the state to control them to that degree. Maybe this will make them rethink funding pols who want to see this upheld by the courts.

To cite just one public example, Justice Clarence Thomas in a speech a few weeks ago seemed to say he no longer trusts his colleagues.
“When you lose that trust, especially in the institution that I’m in, it changes the institution fundamentally,” he told a conservative group. “You begin to look over your shoulder. It’s like kind of an infidelity that you can explain it but you can’t undo it.”
what a complete a$$hole he is.
you mean the way pregnant people in texas are forced to look over their shoulder, worrying about arrest and prison if they miscarry? that kind of lost trust?!
#$@!
( that said. his word choice about “infidelity” is fascinating. almost like someone in particular is on his mind… )

Lake Michigan is not an international border—i.e. by no stretch of the imagination is Chicago less than 100 miles from Canada

Chicago is an international Port Of Entry, which is how this is defined.

Inside the Massive U.S. ‘Border Zone’
That’s striking because the border zone is home to 65.3 percent of the entire U.S. population, and around 75 percent of the U.S. Hispanic population, according to a CityLab analysis based on data from location intelligence company ESRI. This zone, which hugs the entire edge of the United States and runs 100 air miles inside, includes some of the densest cities—New York, Philadelphia, and Chicago. It also includes all of Michigan and Florida, and half of Ohio and Pennsylvania, according to a prior rough analysis by Will Lowe, a data scientist at MIT. (Border Patrol considers the boundary of the Great Lakes to be the “functional equivalent” of the border, per government documents revealed in an ACLU lawsuit. Elsewhere, too, the agency interprets the international boundary in a way that concerns the ACLU.)

dear mitch, isn’t arresting someone before they’re able to kill someone an example of things working as planned?
“we must change things now. nothing is allowed to work properly,” he said probably

Plus, this guy was remarkably responsible. Securing the firearm separately from the ammunition makes him more safe than 90%+ of US gun owners. And he reported himself.
