I'm glad someone is paying attention. The fact that DHS willfully ignored a court order should be extremely worrying: it's a very large crack in the dyke, followed closely by the purges of the National Security Council. The former is getting far too little press. I'm not really sure where we go from here. It's clear Trump is going to keep pushing, and the only question is who starts to push back. If it's Congress, we'll probably be okay. If they fail and it's us, well, as David Simon once said, sometimes it's the brick.
