When Does Protest Cross a Line? Some States Aim to Toughen Laws

In a season rife with demonstrations, Republican legislators in at least 16 states have filed bills to make protests more orderly or to toughen penalties.

Such acts have never lasted long.
The two years a case takes to reach the Supreme Court will feel like a long time to those behind bars in private prisons.

It is important not to be caught.

Jeff Sessions, Trump and the Russia Connection

Readers call for the attorney general to resign and offer advice on the benefits of telling the truth.

President Trump must demand his resignation.
Sessions can be impeached by congress.
The majority does not include the committee chairmen.

The F.B.I. chief asked Justice officials to reject President Trump’s claim that Barack Obama tapped his phones. But the agency has not.

Kim Jong-nam Case Leads Malaysia to End Visa-Free Entry for North Koreans

The move is intended to punish North Korea as Malaysia believes it is behind the airport assassination of Mr. Kim, the half brother of the North’s leader.

Everyone dies of heart failure legally.  It is how death is measured.
Brain death is not legal death.  Some have a problem with that.
Brain dead is dead for me.  Pull the plug.

Jeff Sessions Violated His Oath

The reality is plain: The attorney general of the United States violated an oath he swore to Congress.

Empanel a grand jury.  There is need for charges. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Title_18_of_the_United_States_Code

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment_in_the_United_States

"Impeachment proceedings may be commenced by a member of the House of Representatives on her or his own initiative, either by presenting a list of the charges under oath, or by asking for referral to the appropriate committee. The impeachment process may be initiated by non-members. For example, when the Judicial Conference of the United States suggests a federal judge be impeached, a charge of actions constituting grounds for impeachment may come from a special prosecutor, the President, or state or territorial legislature, grand jury, or by petition."

"Who will bell the cat?"
I would sign the petition.
