<\/p>\nYesterday, I was, I’m sure, as stunned as everyone else ny Merrick Garland’s press conference. It is in today’s video Thread, which will go up about noon Pacific Time. don’t be put off by the 34 minute time – I set it to start when he comes in, which is about 30:30, so it’s actually very short. I also managed to grab Beau’s response to him, which I think is a trifle longer, but still short.\u00a0 Then I went out and got new tires, which took almost 3 hours door to door, but it had to be done, and now it is.<\/p>\n

\nQuote – The decision comes despite recent revelations about an unserved arrest warrant and the 87-year-old Donham’s unpublished memoir. The Rev. Wheeler Parker, Jr., Emmett Till’s cousin and the last living witness to Till’s Aug. 28, 1955, abduction, said Tuesday’s announcement is “unfortunate, but predictable.”

\nQuote – 1. There are legal hurdles to getting a search warrant. The U.S. Constitution requires that all search warrants \u201cparticularly describe the place to be searched and the \u2026 things to be seized.\u201d… This requirement can be traced in part to a famous British case from the 1760s when agents of King George III searched the house of John Wilkes, an opposition member of Parliament, for incriminating papers. The warrant they used was condemned by the courts as a \u201cgeneral warrant\u201d because it did not specifically name Wilkes, his house or the seized papers.
\nClick through for the other three.<\/a> Garland did in fact personally sign off on this warrant. He has said so.<\/p>\n
