I would much rather argue the thesis, behind his back, that mojave is an intellectually dishonest morally bankrupt enabler of authoritarian miscreants than have to keep rehashing the poor tired old facts of this case, which no one called into question.

I agree that endlessly re-stating the solid moral and ethical principles behind the right point of view here can be tiresome. We're talking a severe beating of the horse that died yesterday and whose carcass is now putrifying the air with the stench of authoritarianism.

Great post in its entirety and well summed up. The statist mindset cannot grasp moral distinctions in an argument. The only thing that matters is the letter of the law and only then when it supports a supremacy of authority over principle. It is the sociopathic mind wedded to power constructs. Nothing matters but the power construct. Not morality, not ethics, not principles and not even the law itself when it obstructs the projection of authoritarian power. Hillary is a lot like that but even she isn't quite this sick.
