But the idea that the FBI can raid a former president’s home (and a former president who is very likely to run again) sounds too much like Banana Republic territory, where the regime in power sends the law after its opponents.

Based on what I’ve heard, the FBI only needed a signature from “a federal judge.” That doesn’t sound like a high enough barrier. I would think that separation of powers would require something like this to get approval from SCOTUS.

I know people will say “Trump is not above the law.” No, he’s not. But there’s more at stake here than just Trump the citizen.

It sounds as if the FBI is getting a bit raid-happy as a general matter, which is something Congress should look into. But raiding a former president’s home? That is a big deal.

I’ve never had a dog, so I don’t know a lot about them.

It’s hot in Maryland today, and out of my home office window, I see a dog sticking to the shady parts of my neighbor’s lawn. It makes me wonder if he’d like to run through a sprinkler.

If I was stuck outside, I would.

Two new P&C episodes today.

252: Gay parenting, and Jordan Peterson’s interview with Dave Rubin

251: Recent news in psychiatry. Was Tom Cruise right all along?

Ben Shapiro’s “Sunday Special” from this past weekend (ep. 129) is well worth your time. They discuss what “conservative” means, and how we’d better start fighting against China and the woke before it’s too late.

China and woke-ism are #s 1 and 2 in threats against America. Immigration is probably #3, but China and wokeism are definitely 1 and 2 — although I’m not sure which is 1 and which is 2.

That’s why I cannot possibly vote for a Democrat for president. None of them are willing to fight the most important fights. They’re obsessed with things that are far down the list of priorities.

SCOTUS was right to smack down the EPA in WV v EPA, as P&C detail in this episode.

The world is simply too complicated for the morons in Congress to legislate all the details. They have to set policy goals, and allow people — (1) with brains, and (2) who aren’t distracted by committee arguments over whether a man can get pregnant — to work out the finer points.

That’s all well and good.

But when administrative agencies try to set national policy, they’ve gone too far.

That’s precisely what the EPA did with their Clean Power Plan, and SCOTUS was right to tell them to soak their heads.
