    He still referred to Whelan as a "Retired Marine Paul Whelan" not "Dishonorably Discharged Ex-Marine Paul Whelan." He's still a fucking beast on the field and that's all I really care about.

    You should read the BBC article I posted above.

  2. Happy for BG and her family/friends  

    As the son of military officer who did not wear a uniform when working in hostile nations, I can sense some of the pain the Whelan family must feel when these prisoner swaps occur and Whelan is left behind.

    With clandestine work, the family is part of the team. They know the risk. That doesn’t take away the grief, but it is part of the pride one has in serving a nation.

  3. Quite a few of us expected this ruling. There are no special rules for individual criminal defendants (equal protection and due process). An exception for one would be an exception for all — and the judicial branch knows that would wreck the criminal justice system. 

    Judge Cannon needs an ethics investigation. Horrible misuse of her equitable powers.

    Good decision by the Eleventh Circuit.

    Doesn't the bill that passed the house have 7 paid sick leave days? If that's correct, will it pass the senate?

    Two separate bills. The paid leave bill is looking DOA in the Senate. I don’t see a road to 60. We have seen this before. 

    I wonder if we will see a Wildcat strike by the members who voted against ratification. If that happens, it’s going to get ugly.
