We note the shameful treatment of Senator Alex Padilla when he tried to ask Kristi Noem a question after Trump sent the National Guard and Marines into California. It’s a well-known fact that Kristi Noem is totally unqualified for her job. She admitted before Congress that she didn’t understand the legal concept of habeas corpus. Why is that important? She is rounding up a variety of residents of this country without any clue about respecting their rights within our legal framework. It’s like hiring a manager for a professional baseball team who’s never seen a game and knows none of the rules. Noem was being protected that day at Padilla’s expense. She would have revealed more incompetence if Senator Padilla had been allowed to ask his question. And that led to his rough treatment, flooring, handcuffing and extraction from the premises. What have we come to when key jobs in the Federal government are held by individuals whose incompetence must be hidden? Immediately afterward, Noem was admitted to the hospital for some type of allergic reaction. That also kept her from being interviewed while in enemy territory–California. How convenient…
