I would spend this time learning how to do everything you can to nurture that

Issue-specific targeted checkpoints like DUI checkpoints can be constitutional, but a generalized roust-everyone-for-anything checkpoints are definitely not. There may be an exception for a special purpose to help a career sex pest and rapist evade attention to his connection to a serial pedophile.

Situation on 14th St and W St. NW, with federal agents -- no specific agency identified -- pulling cars over for checks. They arrested a Black woman in this car. BIG crowd of people shouting at police. "Fuck you!" "What is wrong with you!" "You don't need to terrorize people like this!"

Remember how these guys were always like, "look, we need to keep confederate statues up because getting rid of them would be erasing history and we'd never do that!" and now... well...

So they're going to basically void the impoundment control act by saying no one has a right of action except an official nominated by Trump. If you've been watching SCOTUS jurisprudence, it's how they've been gutting a lot of civil rights, simply eliminate the ability to bring legal action.
