John Yoo hosts this week’s episode from exile in Austin, Texas, where he humors Steve and Lucretia’s the extra-legal views on the Trump trials and tribulations in a Manhattan courtroom, and speculate how Trump’s “Letter from the Rikers Island Jail” would read (though it will be more likely in the form of Tweets or TruthSocial posts). Have we discovered a trial judge who seems to have no judgment at all.
Certainly we have a president without judgment, and we begin with pondering the question of just when it was that Bernie Sanders became president, because it is impossible to see how a Sanders administration would differ from everything the Biden administration has done. Steve notes a recent American Conservative article that picks up on parts of the Hur report on Biden. While everybody focused on the parts of the report that dealt with Biden’s senility, other parts of the report show that Biden has actually had terrible judgment for his entire political career.
Finally, we look at Steve’s City-Journal article on the parallels between 1968 and today, and wonder how it is possible for so many of our “leaders” in high education to have so little good judgment or common sense about what ought to be done. (Lucretia recommends pepper-bullets, which sound like some kind of high-velocity jalapenos.)

I hadn’t seen anyone use the line Steve mentioned about Biden’s two state solution for Palestine. I like it. Crass, but captures Biden’s foreign policy weaknesses.
John should be worrying about the conspiracy theory that 2020 was a clean election instead of worrying about Lucretia.

Democrat judges without judgment? How is that surprising? Democrats believe that to judge is to discriminate, and above all else, you must never discriminate. So for a judge to have good judgement, firstly they’d have to be Republican, so they can believe that they can judge without discrimination…
