Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent.” That was Justice Sotomayor on today’s SCOTUS decision to lift limits on roving immigration patrols in Los Angeles area. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court allowed Trump to fire FTC commissioner without cause.

+ City, City, Bang, Bang: NPR: Trump walks back Chicago ‘war’ threat, but vows to ‘clean up’ cities. (Oh cool. He walked back the threat about a war on an American city.)
