Yesterday, an FBI agent arrested a judge in Wisconsin for allegedly “trying to help an undocumented immigrant avoid arrest.” Axios<\/a> has the story. I have seen sources refer to her as a Federal judge, which she is not. She is a state district judge (at the County level.) And Steve Schmidt<\/a> is pissed<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I am doubling up on Robert Reich<\/a> today, partly because he’s interesting, and partly to take the taste of the FBI action away. This post leads to a documentary, and I’ll stop now to avoid spoilers. If you don’t want to watch “NOT the White House Correspondents’ Dinner,” maybe you’d prefer this. (On the other hand, if you do want to watch NOT the White House etc., and you reserves a spot of the pay per view, you’ll be able to re-watch it through June 30.)<\/p>\n

Does it sound silly to say that we need to know what a national civic uprising<\/a> would look like so that, armed with that knowledges, we won’t miss or dismiss it when it happens? It does sound so to me. But since so many people so disastrously did not see the Rockmelon Regime coming, maybe it isn’t silly at all.<\/p>\n
