We were already two martinis in when we decided we were young and hip and happening enough to find Fusion TV on our television provider, and watch the "Black and Brown Forum" with Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, and the other one.
He was supposed to. Then John Spencer died (still sad about that one) & the producers thought it would be way too terrible to have Santos lose the election AND Leo. I'm not crying, you're crying! Also, it's cold enough this morning to cause water to leak from my eye holes
Pretty much. ANY fictional President. ANY of them. It made him seem kinda stuffy and out of touch and not fun.... I guess supporters don't care a lot about that but I really feel like I'd be electing a grumpy old man as the leader of the free world. I suppose that doesn't matter. Still.. BARTLET FOR AMERICA.
I still feel like I don't know enough about O'Malley to really judge him as a candidate. He seems like a nice guy... but that's the only impression I get of him. I always expect him to do better in debates and then he comes across horribly. But when he plays guitar and buys Casey's pizza for volunteers in Iowa, I think, aw -- he likes working on the ground level.
This is because immigration violations are not "crimes", so you don't get a lawyer. And, in practical terms, it would bankrupt the country to provide lawyers for every immigration violator.
Sort of. Immigration proceedings are civil, not criminal, so the sixth amendment right to counsel at government expense doesn't attach. Which is not to say we couldn't create a statutory right to that representation, but that's why there's no constitutional right to it.
As to the expense... it's entirely possible to limit who gets government provided counsel, since we'd be doing it by statute, and to limit it to (say) unaccompanied alien minors. A group that's uniquely vulnerable due to the circumstances they're fleeing, the lack of a guardian being present, and their likely inability to mount a case (no matter how good their asylum claim) due to their age. And that would almost certainly not "bankrupt the government".
It is very much the kind of thing a white kid in the 90s would see and be like WOW. It has aged INCREDIBLY poorly. Cringefest. I can't believe adults were in it. Or black people. It's so bad. You should watch it!
New Hampshire? Vermont? Both are slightly larger than Rhode Island. Hell, Harney County, OR (where the Bundy Boyz are seeking snacks) is bigger than either of them.

Oh wow. INTENSE. I guess that somewhat mollifies me, as I have a hard time getting through S7 for that reason.
OMG LEO.

I rewatched Bulworth recently and holy shit -- what an awful, awful movie. Seriously.
alas, no they don't, because immigration violations are not "crimes", so you don't get a lawyer.
what the hell are those things? ink wells? salt cellars? perfume atomizers?

Poop.
Aw. I only saw it once when it came out, and I remember being very impressed in my adolescent way.

Jed Bartlet would smack a bitch for implying he isn't from New Hampshire ;)
