| Anne Arundel Infant Dies Of Heroin and Fentayl Over Dose Posted: 05 Dec 2019 08:30 PM PST   Major Crimes Section On Saturday, July 27, 2019 at approximately 9:28 a.m., the Anne Arundel County Police and Fire Departments responded to the 7900 block of Chesapeake Drive, Orchard Beach, Maryland for a nine month old male infant in medical distress. The infant was transported to the Baltimore Washington Medical Center for further medical treatment. Life saving measures were continued at the hospital until 10:19 a.m. where the infant, identified as Niyear Taylor of the 7900 block of Chesapeake Drive, was pronounced deceased. Homicide Detectives and the Evidence Collection Unit responded to the scene. Detectives conducted interviews with several family members that resided within the residence with the baby Niyear. Preliminary investigation advised the infant had been "wheezing" while breathing but had went to bed at approximately 2:00 a.m. At approximately 9:15 a.m. the mother and grandmother, who were co-sleeping with the infant, found the baby unresponsive and called 911. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner performed an autopsy on the infant. Upon conclusion of the autopsy and subsequent toxicology examinations, it was confirmed Fentanyl and Morphine were present in the infant's blood, liver, and stomach contents. Due to further testing the OCME confirmed through toxicology that the infant had ingested Heroin and Fentanyl. The OCME ruled the infant's cause of death as Fentanyl and Heroin intoxication with Despropionyl Fentanyl use with the manner being homicide. On Wednesday, August 14, 2019 at approximately 9:00 a.m., detectives with the Homicide and Fatal Overdose Units executed a search warrant at the infant's residence located in the 7900 block of Chesapeake Drive. During a search of the residence empty capsules with trace powdery substances were located in every room throughout the entire house. Upon completion of the search warrant over one hundred gel caps were recovered from the floor, the infant's diaper bag, and various other areas within the residence. The recovered gel caps were examined by the Anne Arundel County Police Controlled Dangerous Substance Lab. Upon conclusion the capsules recovered from the mother's bedroom tested positive for both Heroin and Fentanyl. Through more investigative interviews, detectives learned the grandmother of the infant, identified as Laurie Ann Taylor, a forty three year old female from the 7900 block of Chesapeake Drive, drove her two daughters and baby Niyear to Baltimore City to purchase Heroin on Friday, July 26, 2019. In doing so the grandmother, Laurie Taylor, purchased four heroin capsules to share them with her two daughters. Laurie Taylor advised upon returning home one Heroin gel capsule was missing. It was learned the three of them looked extensively for the missing heroin gel cap but it was never located. Since the gel cap was missing Laurie Taylor then drove her seventeen year old daughter, Alexus Lorraine Taylor of the 7900 block of Chesapeake Drive back to Baltimore City to purchase additional Heroin. Upon returning home at approximately 1:00 a.m. on the morning of July 27, 2019 they noticed the infant breathing oddly. Laurie Taylor stated she questioned whether or not the infant had ingested the heroin capsule but after discussing medical care for baby Niyear with Alexus, the infant's mother, they decided to take a "wait and see" approach. Within hours Alexus and Laurie Taylor found baby Niyear unresponsive. The Homicide Unit has been working in conjunction with the Anne Arundel County State's Attorney's Office for several months in regards to the homicide investigation of baby Niyear. In doing so on the morning of Thursday, December 5, 2019 Alexus, the mother, and Laurie Taylor, the grandmother, of the deceased baby Niyear were taken into custody without incident at their residence. In regards to the homicide of baby Niyear, Alexus Taylor was charged with First Degree Child Abuse resulting in death, Second Degree Child Abuse, Manslaughter and Reckless Endangerment. Laurie Taylor was charged with the same charges in regards to the homicide of baby Niyear but also two counts of Reckless Endangerment in regards to her child, Alexus Taylor. The Anne Arundel County Police and State's Attorney's Office is aware of the opioid epidemic facing this county and our nation. Since April 20, 2017, a new pilot program, "Safe Stations", was implemented in response to the growing opioid epidemic and the Governor's declared State of Emergency. Safe Stations allows persons with substance use disorders, who are looking for treatment, to walk into a police or fire station and request assistance with no fear of legal ramifications. Once at the station, the individual will be given a medical assessment by emergency medical services. If they do not need immediate medical attention, a Crisis Response Team is contacted to provide further access to the individual for treatment and follow-up care. If the individual does require immediate medical attention, they are transported to the emergency department by EMS and a Mobile Crisis Team will meet the individual in the hospital. In 2019 one thousand and seven (1007) individuals have utilized Safe Stations to obtain treatment in regards to their opioid addictions. Even though arrests have been made this is a very active investigation. The Anne Arundel County Police are urging anyone with information to come forward by calling the Anne Arundel County Homicide Unit at 410-222-4731. If people with information wish to remain anonymous they can also contact the Anne Arundel County Police Tip Line 410-222-4700 or Metro Crime Stoppers at 1-866-7LOCKUP or Download P3Tips APP and Submit Your TIP or submit by web at www.metrocrimestoppers.org.  |
| Miami UPS worker allegedly hides packages worth nearly $3G, steals them later, police say Posted: 05 Dec 2019 08:00 PM PST  The Miami employee, who assisted a full-time driver in unloading packages at several locations, was arrested for stealing packages on two different occasions this week, according to court documents. Emmanuel Reggin, 18, has been charged with third-degree grand theft for allegedly attempting to steal at least $2,800 in electronic equipment, according to arrest records. Court documents said the first incident took place on Monday when Reggin was unloading a UPS truck with 5,500 boxes delivered to a Miami Nektova fulfillment center, which, according to its website, is a global distributor of branded consumer electronics. https://www.foxnews.com/us/ups-worker-in-miami-allegedly-hides-packages-steals-them-later-court-documents  |
| Posted: 05 Dec 2019 07:30 PM PST  Education Package Emphasizes Increased Investment, More Accountability, and Better Results for Our Children ANNAPOLIS, MD—Governor Larry Hogan today announced an education package that includes a bold accountability initiative to turn around persistently underperforming schools, as well as the largest school construction plan in state history. "We are here today to launch the next chapter of education reform in Maryland, which will provide increased investment for our schools, more accountability for Maryland parents, teachers, and taxpayers, and most importantly, help to achieve better results for our children," said Governor Hogan. "Education has been, and will continue to be, our administration's highest priority, because I believe very strongly that every single child in Maryland deserves a world-class education, regardless of what neighborhood they happen to grow up in." Since taking office, Governor Hogan has invested a record $32 billion in K-12 education, well above the current funding levels required by legislatively mandated formulas. No governor in the history of the state has invested more. Community and Local Accountability for Struggling Schools (CLASS) Act Innovation Schools—Based on Massachusetts Model—Will Empower Local Communities, Create Greater Autonomy and Flexibility At the start of the 2020 legislative session, Governor Hogan will introduce the Community and Local Accountability for Struggling Schools (CLASS) Act to help quickly and effectively turn around persistently underperforming schools. Modeled after a program developed by former Democratic Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, the legislation will designate "Innovation Schools" that operate with greater local autonomy and flexibility while keeping school funding within districts. "Currently, there is no accountability mechanism for the state, or for parents, teachers, or the local community to intervene or take actions in order to bring about improvements in failing schools," said Governor Hogan. "Local communities will be able to take charge of failing schools and be empowered to enact critical changes and put a turnaround plan in place." The CLASS Act will define any school that receives a one-star rating for two consecutive years as an Innovation School. The local school board will establish a committee to develop a turnaround plan, which will cover a wide range of areas, including curriculum, budget, schedule, staffing, and professional development. The committee, which will hold a public hearing on its five-year plan, will be comprised of local residents with relevant experience in education, youth development, management, and finance. Innovation Schools will continue to receive full funding while being held accountable for meeting benchmarks in such areas as graduation rates, student performance, and closing achievement gaps. Building Opportunity Act Largest Investment in School Construction in Maryland History Governor Hogan will also re-introduce the Building Opportunity Act, which provides a record $3.8 billion for school construction funding over five years. "This is the largest investment in school construction ever in Maryland history," said Governor Hogan. "Last year, we introduced record funding for school construction legislation, but the legislature failed to support it. We are pleased that they now seem to agree with us on the need to provide local school systems, and most importantly our students, with the healthy, efficient, heated, air-conditioned, and modern school buildings that they deserve." New funding for this initiative will come from a share of casino revenues in the education lockbox, which Governor Hogan pushed for and enacted to ensure that an additional $4.4 billion in funding would go toward K-12 education. The Building Opportunity Act provides funding to cover all of the projects currently requested by local school systems. The Interagency Commission on School Construction (IAC) is conducting a statewide school facilities assessment to better evaluate local requests. The legislation will give the Maryland Stadium Authority oversight of these additional school construction funds and includes accountability measures. The initiative is closely modeled after the highly successful 21st Century School Buildings Program currently underway in Baltimore City.  |

| Man, 52, who forgot to tell police he found his stolen car dies after cops pulled him over Posted: 05 Dec 2019 06:30 PM PST A man has died in police custody after an officer attempted to put him in a carotid restraint at the end of a seven-minute high-speed chase started because they suspected him of being a car thief. David Glen Ward, 52, was driving his Honda Civic in Sonoma County, California last Wednesday, after having reported it stolen three day before. But he didn't tell cops he had retrieved the vehicle before they ended up beating him with personal body weapons, using a Taser gun on him and trying to restrict the blood flow to his brain with a non-fatal maneuver.

| Nunes: 'Evil slime balls' at CNN have defamed me Posted: 05 Dec 2019 05:30 PM PST Rep. Devin Nunes leveled a personal attack against the journalists who published what he says is a false story reporting he spent time meeting Ukrainian officials in Europe attempting to dig up political dirt on Joe Biden. "These evil slime balls say that I was Vienna meeting with Ukrainians," Nunes said Thursday on the Mark Levin show. "Not only was I not in Vienna, I actually have pictures of myself in Benghazi, Libya ... in Malta with the remains of an Army Air Corps soldier from World War II that we were loading into a plane." Last week, CNN published a report depicting how Nunes, the leading Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, met with an ex-Ukrainian official to get dirt on Biden, citing the attorney of an indicted associate of Rudy Giuliani as a source.

The accident happened on the westbound lanes of Interstate 66 around 12:20 a.m. just past the Lee Highway exit in Arlington County, according to the Arlington Fire Department.

| Democrat Rep. Al Green Furious No ‘People of Color’ Among Impeachment Witnesses Posted: 05 Dec 2019 03:30 PM PST  Green, a longtime proponent of President Trump's impeachment, blasted his own party's impeachment inquiry over its lack of diversity in witnesses, citing the four white legal scholars testifying before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, three of whom were chosen by Democrats. "Not one person of color among the constitutional scholars. It seems that there's a desire among some to have the output of people of color without input from the people of color," he added, calling for a "balance as it relates to all aspects of society, and that would include people of color."

| Pelosi: House will vote on articles of impeachment against Trump Posted: 05 Dec 2019 02:30 PM PST House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced the House will pursue articles of impeachment against President Trump for his "failure to faithfully execute the law." The California Democrat said the House has gathered evidence from weeks of testimony that shows the president abused his office and obstructed Congress in an effort to undermine his political rival, former Vice President Joe Biden. "The president leaves us no choice but to act because he is trying to corrupt once again, the election for his own personal benefit," Pelosi said. "Today, I am asking our chairman to proceed with articles of impeachment." More  |
| Posted: 05 Dec 2019 02:00 PM PST Former Vice President Joe Biden would consider Senator Kamala Harris as his running mate if he wins the Democratic Party nomination. Speaking to supporters at a town hall at Iowa State University, Biden said that she would be capable of being Vice President, attorney general, or a Supreme Court Justice. "We lost a really good one, the senator from California," Biden said. "She is capable of being president or vice president or on the Supreme Court or attorney general. Her capacity is unlimited."

| 6 Big Moments From Day 1 of the Second Round of Impeachment Hearings Posted: 05 Dec 2019 01:30 PM PST The House Judiciary Committee, holding its first day of impeachment hearings Wednesday, heard from four legal scholars on the case for and against removing President Donald Trump from office less than a year before a presidential election. After five days of public hearings over two weeks, the House Intelligence Committee submitted its report—contested by the panel's Republicans—to the Judiciary Committee, which will make the final determination on drafting and adopting articles of impeachment. "We are all aware that the next election is looming. But we cannot wait for the next election to address the present crisis," Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., said in his opening remarks. "The integrity of that election is one of the very things at stake. The president has shown us his pattern of conduct. If we do not act to keep him in check now, President Trump will almost certainly try again." More  |
| Trump Mocks Pelosi's "Nervous Fit" After She Snaps At Reporter Posted: 05 Dec 2019 01:00 PM PST Nancy Pelosi just had a nervous fit.

Help the homeless in your district Nancy. USMCA?As we detailed earlier, having accused President Trump of "abuse of power" and calling for the House to draft articles of impeachment for "using the office of the President for personal gain," pointing out that The Founders "could not have foreseen such a rogue president;" and then calling the president a "coward" for not helping kids on gun violence, blasting him as "cruel" for not helping DREAMers, and slamming him for being "in denial" over climate change; a reporter at Speaker Pelosi's weekly press conference dared to ask if she "hated" President Trump.

| Posted: 05 Dec 2019 12:30 PM PST Doing moderate-intensity exercise every day can lower your risk of developing diabetes, a new study suggests. It's well-known that being sedentary raises the risk of health problems such as heart disease and obesity. But researchers found that doing simple activities such as brisk walking or gardening for just 30 minutes raised levels of a hormone that reduces appetite and lowers blood sugar levels. However, the results were only apparent in men, which the team says could be due to physiological differences between men and women, or the fact that women generally tended to lower activity levels.

| Posted: 05 Dec 2019 11:30 AM PST Newark Mayor Ras Baraka's administration has sued New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, accusing the fellow Democrat of dumping NYC's population of homeless people on New Jersey's biggest city. The lawsuit accuses the de Blasio administration's Special One-Time Assistance, or SOTA, program of using strong-arm tactics to send people across the Hudson River to find a place to live. 'This case concerns an unlawful program of "coerced" migration,' Newark lawyers said in court documents filed in US District Court in New Jersey on Monday. New York City officials are accused of 'forcing SOTA recipients to accept the proverbial "offer they can't refuse,"' the documents said, explaining that the phrase from the 1972 American Mafia film 'The Godfather' is 'really a command, "Do what we say or else."'

| George Zimmerman SUES Trayvon Martin's family and Florida prosecutors for $100MILLION Posted: 05 Dec 2019 11:00 AM PST George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer who was acquitted in the 2012 fatal shooting of unarmed black teen Trayvon Martin, is suing Martin's family and Florida prosecutors, claiming that they engineered false evidence in the homicide trial. The lawsuit filed Wednesday in Polk County Circuit Court seeks $100million in civil damages for defamation, abuse of civil process and conspiracy. It alleges that the prosecution's key witness in Zimmerman's 2013 murder trial, Rachel Jeantel, was an imposter coached by the family and their lawyers. The lead defendant in the suit is Sybrina Fulton, Martin's mother. Fulton became a nationally-acclaimed advocate for social justice and reducing gun violence in the wake of her son's death, and is now running for a seat on the Miami-Dade County Commission. More  |

| AOC Falsely Claims She Fast-Tracked HIV Drugs to Market Posted: 05 Dec 2019 09:45 AM PST Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) falsely claimed that her work in Congress fast-tracked the arrival of life-saving HIV drugs to the market, taking credit for a corporate decision made four years before she was elected to Congress. Responding to President Trump's criticism of House Democrats, the progressive congresswoman fabricated a personal achievement by claiming that she "took on Big Pharma" with "colleagues in hearings that brought PrEP generic a year early" in a tweet last week. In fact, Gilead, the pharmaceutical company behind PrEP—a medication that can reduce the transmission risk of HIV by 99 percent—had reached an agreement back in 2014 to allow a generic version of the drug to come to market a year early. The company disclosed that agreement weeks before its CEO, Daniel O'Day, appeared before Congress in May. More  |
| Jim Perdue: My company is addressing poultry waste Posted: 05 Dec 2019 09:41 AM PST  "ICYMI: Jim Perdue's defense of his corporation after The Baltimore Sun published their editorial 'Clean up Maryland's poultry manure problem now'. In it he claims that Perdue is working to protect the Chesapeake Bay. This is, to be polite, a load of chicken litter! Each year, chicken factory farms in Maryland produce 34 thousand tons of litter. That's more than half what the residents of Baltimore produce! It's simply too much volume to be used safely as fertilizer in the area where it's produced and the soil is oversaturated. Trucking the waste elsewhere is at best, a temporary solution. Not only are regulations surrounding the practice poorly implemented and enforced, but the contract growers and taxpayers are left to foot the bill. As mentioned in Clean up Maryland's poultry manure problem now, the Poultry Litter Management Act offered a more just way of handling the problem. Using the waste to generate biogas is not a real solution, either. This expensive technology requires massive chicken litter inputs, still requires trucking, and requires subsidies to be profitable. Ultimately, this is greenwashing - not "renewable" energy. It does nothing to address public health issues, and can even be used as an excuse for building more factory farms. We need real solutions to the environmental degradation factory farms are causing on the Eastern Shore. We need a moratorium on all new and expanding factory farms. And it should be large corporations like Perdue that pay for cleaning up the mess from the existing ones." Here's the Baltimore Sun article HERE.  |
| Posted: 05 Dec 2019 09:30 AM PST The top law enforcement officer in the United States warned Tuesday that anti-police sentiment that is allowed to fester in the subconscious of the American public could threaten the rule of law. Attorney General William Barr compared the promotion of mistrust in police peddled by some criminal justice reform activists in recent years to the unwelcome reception soldiers who fought in the Vietnam War received when they returned. "In the Vietnam era, our country learned a lesson. I remember that our brave troops who served in that conflict weren't treated very well in many cases when they came home, and sometimes they bore the brunt of people who were opposed to the war," Barr said during a speech honoring police at the Justice Department. "The respect and gratitude owed to them was not given. And it took decades for the American people finally to realize that." More  |
| DEM IMPEACHMENT ‘WITNESS’ GOES ON UNHINGED RANT ABOUT HOW TRUMP RUINED HER THANKSGIVING Posted: 05 Dec 2019 09:15 AM PST One of the "witnesses" brought forward by House Democrats descended into a bizarre rant about how President Trump ruined her Thanksgiving holiday. Stanford law professor and lawyer Pamela Karlan testified Wednesday before the House Judiciary Committee that she was so distracted poring over other "witness" transcripts during her Thanksgiving holiday that she was forced to order a pre-cooked turkey in the mail. "I spent all of Thanksgiving vacation sitting there reading these transcripts," Karlan said. "I didn't – I ate, like, a turkey that came to us in the mail that was already cooked because I was spending my time doing this." More  |

And Lunden Roberts, the woman who claims the son of former vice-president Joe Biden is the father of her 16-month-old child will have to reveal how much she made in tips as a stripper at the Mpire Club in Washington, D.C., where the two met. Originally Judge Don McSpadden, who is presiding over the court in Batesville, Arkansas, had only asked for three years' records.

Caroline Fredrickson, a lawyer who worked at the White House during Bill Clinton's impeachment, rightly observed in an op-ed that the Democrats' case against President Trump is exhausting in its obscurity. "Today's allegations," she wrote, "are all over the map and could amount to a lengthy list of articles of impeachment. Unfortunately for House Democrats, the complexity of this story does not help their cause." More  |
| Virginia moves to suspend Medicaid work requirements Posted: 05 Dec 2019 08:00 AM PST Virginia is moving to drop work requirements from its Medicaid program after Democrats took full control of the state legislature. Gov. Ralph Northam (D) said in a statement that he has instructed the state's Medicaid director to "pause" negotiations with the Trump administration about how to implement the requirements that certain "able-bodied" Medicaid recipients need to work and pay premiums. "Virginians made it clear they want more access to health care, not less," he said in the statement. "Given the changed make-up of the General Assembly and based on conversations with new leadership, it is unlikely Virginia will move forward with funding a program that could cause tens of thousands of Virginians to lose health care coverage."

| Formalization Of OC Pier Franchise Extension Underway Posted: 05 Dec 2019 07:30 AM PST OCEAN CITY — Resort officials this week began finalizing the historic Ocean City Fishing Pier franchise agreement with the passage on first reading of a pair of ordinances setting the extension in motion. Last week, Ocean City officials announced it had reached an agreement in principle with Charles "Buddy" Jenkins and his Synepuxent Pier and Improvement Company to extend the franchise agreement for the pier that juts eastward from the Boardwalk at Wicomico Street. On Monday, the Mayor and Council began formalizing the pier franchise extension agreement with the approval of two separate, but related, ordinance changes on first reading. The first piece of the puzzle is an ordinance formalizing the extension of the pier franchise agreement for an additional 25 years beyond the 10 years remaining on the initial agreement reached between the city and Jenkins' companies in 1978. That ordinance essentially extends the franchise agreement for another 35 years and ensures the iconic amusement pier will remain in its current state for decades to come. More  |

| CEO: City schools could face $60M budget deficit next year Posted: 05 Dec 2019 06:45 AM PST BALTIMORE —Baltimore City Public Schools could come up short as it looks ahead to planning next year's budget, CEO Sonja Santelises said. "There's a projected budget gap of about $60 million," Santelises said. Speaking at a City Council committee hearing Tuesday night, Santelises gave council members a closer look at the district's financial books and predicting what may lie ahead. "We have been proactive in my administration in seeking out outside eyes. We have not been insular," Santelises said.

| Posted: 05 Dec 2019 06:30 AM PST VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) — The Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution was at the front of the minds of both elected officials and residents Tuesday night. When Virginia Beach City Council met Tuesday for its first meeting of the month, the Second Amendment wasn't listed on the agenda. Yet hundreds showed up to voice their thoughts on the city becoming a "Second Amendment sanctuary." So much so that the City Council Chambers and all of city hall reached capacity, leaving even more people outside during the meeting. By 6:30 p.m. the crowd had swelled to the point that both the Virginia Beach Sheriff's Office and police department were on-scene to close the road down in front of city hall. The gun rights advocates wore orange stickers saying "Guns Save Lives" in the shadow of Building 2 at the municipal center, where six months earlier a gunman killed 12 and injured 4 others. More  |
| Chick-Fil-A’s Surrender Will Only Empower Liberal Bullies Posted: 05 Dec 2019 06:15 AM PST As we head into the Christmas season, religious liberty in America continues to be under attack, and it's not just about whether people can say "Merry Christmas" in public places. With the recent controversy over Chick-fil-A bowing to pressure to end its financial support of charities the far left has labeled as "anti-gay," organizations that dare to hold onto certain deeply held religious beliefs will likely be punished for it. I have served on the national boards of the two charities that Chick-fil-A will no longer be supporting, the Salvation Army and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA). Both charities have been smeared by the left as being anti-gay because of their traditional religious view of marriage as between one man and one woman. As a former board member of both organizations, I never witnessed—nor would I have tolerated—any type of prejudice or bigotry toward gay people. All I ever saw was people earnestly wanting to help other people. In fact, the Salvation Army estimates that it is the largest provider of poverty relief to the LGBT community in the nation. More  |
| A Furious Scalise Demands To Know Why Schiff 'Spying' On Nunes, Journalist Posted: 05 Dec 2019 06:00 AM PST Contained within a 300-page report on the Democrats' impeachment investigation was a startling admission; House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) had obtained call records between Rep. Devin Nunes, Rudy Giuliani, Ukraine intermediary Lev Parnas, and journalist John Solomon. In response, House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) said "It raises a lot of serious questions," before demanding to know what Schiff was up to. "I want to know all the people Adam Schiff is spying on," Schiff told the Washington Examiner. "Are there other members of Congress that he is spying on, and what justification does he have? He needs to be held accountable and explain what he's doing, going after journalists, going after members of Congress, instead of doing his job." The records showed calls between Nunes and President Trump's personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, and calls between Nunes and Lev Parnas, a Giuliani associate now under indictment for funneling foreign money to U.S. political candidates.

| Melania Trump says impeachment witness 'should be ashamed' for citing Barron Trump Posted: 05 Dec 2019 05:00 AM PST First lady Melania Trump responded to Stanford Law professor Pamela Karlan invoking the name of her son during the House Judiciary impeachment hearings. "A minor child deserves privacy and should be kept out of politics," Trump said Wednesday on Twitter. "Pamela Karlan, you should be ashamed of your very angry and obviously biased public pandering, and using a child to do it." More  |
