A short investigation was launched after a Travis County judge wore a pink, knitted “pussy hat” in her courtroom late in January causing, some to doubt her impartiality from the bench.
Travis County Judge Sarah Eckhardt started her session on January 24 by putting on the pink knitted hat that has become associated with the Women’s March protests held the day after Donald J. Trump took the oath of office to become the 45th president of the United States._____________________

Here is the most critical difference between Democrat leadership and the GOP.
Here is the most critical difference between Democrat leadership and the GOP: The European Progressive Party has devolved into the party of mob rule. The GOP has not gone there and never will.
Keep in mind that back in 1860, the Democrats decided to start a civil war over their desire to keep and maintain slavery. More than 240,000 Americans died in that war and all of those deaths can be laid at the feet of the Southern Democrats who ruled the South for a 100 years beyond the end of that terrible war.
Turns out, they (the Dems) are perfectly willing to take their partisanship into streets, again. Heck, they are doing that right now.

The case for ending the filibuster rule
First, the positive - the filibuster gives power to the minority party in the Senate.
Negative - when the minority party can abuse the power of the filibuster for the purpose of shutting down the government and foiling the legislative agenda of the majority party , it needs to be abandoned. No single legal consideration within national law should be used to turn a loser national party into the overwhelming "winner."
When originally set into motion, the filibuster required the party using the filibuster stood and talked non-stop, at the Senate podium. No other business was done until the minority party was shut down with a 60 vote majority or the speakers simply got so tire they had to quit.
Today, all that is necessary to establish a "filibuster," is to announce that a filibuster is in progress. No one speaks for the purpose of prolonging a filibuster. No one runs out of words. There is no pressure to close the filibuster and get back to work.
In other words, the rule of the filibuster has been altered to the point that "filibuster" is only a stop on existing legislation. It is time for this strategy to go the way of the wind, thanks to the most partisan political situation in our nation's history.
Yes, I know this will [eventually] work against the GOP as well as the Dems, but that consideration does not change the above stated facts.
Don't want to suffer without the filibuster? Don't lose elections.

California and Colorado might join Oregon as "sanctuary states." Here is their problem.
California and Colorado might join Oregon as "sanctuary states." Here is their problem. If Trump is threatening to withdraw Federal funds for this violation of federal law, why not treat each and every city in these states as in violation, and cut all Federal funding to those states and all their associated municipalities?
Anyone think Trump does not have the moxy to make such a move?
Look, Trump is teaching the GOP how to fish. His vision for America is the vision of the masses. During Obama's time in office, all media emphasis was about his "popularity." Virtually no attention was paid to the fact that most of his policies and "legislative methodology" (aka totalitarian rule) were viewed with displeasure as reflected in the polls. For example, ObamaCare never received a majority vote in any of the major opinion polls.
I do not doubt that Trump, when it comes time, will make a move to penalize those states claiming to be "sanctuary states," and to do so as a city-by-city collective, holding each city responsible for the state's decision. Of course, there are cities within every liberal state that respect law and order, but, clearly, Trump has room to bring immense pressure on those who refuse to respect our laws. He may be the only conservative/populace leader with the strength of character to pull this country back from the brink.

The Dems think they can prevent Trump's cabinet appointments by not coming to work.
The Dems think they can prevent Trump's cabinet appointments by not coming to work. Besides acting like children, they are wrong in their presumption. Trump can make recess appointments and those appointments last for two years, or until the next (116th) Congress. It would not be easy to accomplish but from what I read, it certainly can be done.
Also, it is clear that current rules no longer work in a divided Congress when one party, the Dems, boycott the congressional sessions that do not favor their agenda.
The only remaining alternative is to suffer with the Dems "genius" strategy and wait for the 2018 elections. That midterm, if these clowns stay their moronic course, will be voted out of existence.
Perhaps it is a little early to press the panic button. For certain, none of this will slow down Donald Trump.
