Middlebury engages in soul-searching after speech is shouted down and professor is attacked
When Murray couldn’t speak, the college moved him and Stanger to another location to livestream a discussion. But after that event, some of the protesters surrounded them as they were leaving. Some shoved Stanger and yanked her hair with such force that she needed to wear a neck brace the next day.
That a professor was physically attacked has added to the soul-searching at Middlebury. Stanger, politically liberal and far from Murray on most issues, agreed to a student request to moderate the question period because, she wrote, she wanted to encourage students, and looked forward to a good debate.

There is nothing liberal about intolerance. And certainly nothing liberal about violence and intimation against those who encourage debate between parties who disagree,
Trump’s Wiretap Tweets Raise Risk of Impeachment
But when President Trump accuses Obama of an act that would have been impeachable and possibly criminal, that’s something much more serious than libel. If it isn’t true or provable, it’s misconduct by the highest official of the executive branch.
How is such misconduct by an official to be addressed? There’s a common-law tort of malicious prosecution, but that probably doesn’t apply when the government official has no intention to prosecute.
The answer is that the constitutional remedy for presidential misconduct is impeachment.

Jeff Sessions wanted Bill Clinton to be prosecuted for lying
Attorney General Jeff Sessions, accused of misleading a Senate committee on talks with the Russian ambassador, once recommended then-President Bill Clinton be impeached for lying under oath during the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
Sessions called for Clinton’s prosecution during his impeachment trial in 1999, saying the president’s lies about his sexual relationship with the White House intern were tantamount to an “attack” on the law.

Mike Pence asks Indiana Supreme Court to stay out of his redacted emails
If opened, the communications could reveal a slew of Republican political strategies that Pence and dozens of other U.S. governors devised to fight former President Barack Obama and an executive order of his concerning immigration.
If the justices take the case, the court also could redefine the bounds of open, public communication for Indiana’s executive office.

Samuel L. Jackson uses one tweet to crush Ben Carson and his slaves as ‘immigrants’ comment
Today, like most days, Samuel L. Jackson is the voice of reason.
While making his debut as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development on Monday afternoon, Ben Carson said that America’s “can-do” value system was best exemplified by slaves — who he audaciously referred to as “immigrants.”
…
Twitter immediately blew the f*ck up over Carson’s impudent comments — but the outrage was perhaps best articulated in one vivacious tweet by America’s foul-mouthed sweetheart Samuel L. Jackson.
OK!! Ben Carson….I can’t! Immigrants ? In the bottom of SLAVE SHIPS??!! MUTHAFUKKA PLEASE!!!#dickheadedtom
