"Can we just fast-forward this to the part where Blago bribes Trump into a pardon and they wind up sharing a prison cell? Because THAT is a reality tv show I'd LOVE to watch."

Me also too, JLC... me also too.

Thanks, Jamie. Your writing is fabulous, as always.

Have you thought of doing a piece on Leonard Peltier, America's Premier Political Prisoner?

What he did and his arrogance. He not only has no shame, he's proud of his evil. A true pig.

My problem with this is that it annihilates the difference between fact and fiction to the point where I have to apply "suspension of disbelief" to reality.

This is doing great things for my ability to believe quantum physics, believe in impossible things generally, and read Through The Looking Glass as a self- help guide.

Also too, Robert E Lee was the most respects military leader in America at the time. Lincoln would have been a fool to not offer command of the Army of the Potomac to him.

And Lincoln was no fool.

Yup - believing six impossible things before breakfast is super easy now.

SCOTUS invalidated the habeas corpus overreach by Lincoln. The Constitution clearly and unequivocally states that is the purview of Congress.
