    John Yoo on Fox News: Courts “shouldn’t be micromanaging” family reunification by the government. Says court deference to the administration is what the next SCOTUS nominee should bring.

        John Yoo, author of the CIA torture memos. Yeah, he should be talking about delaying kids reunification as they are being abused by the system.

        Has John Yoo ever had a intelligent thought about laws or courts? I think his only thoughts about Law is that republican presidents are god and can do whatever they wish.

        Everytime Yoo appears in public, he should have to have his testicles crushed. Only seems fair.

        Any new Justice should bring a shockable conscience -- something Yoo might have overlooked. (cf. Rochin v. California)

        Yoo is seizing the opportunity to be gratuitously dreadful. It’s his brand.

        “Court deference to the administration”? But what about that pesky little thing know as judicial independence?

        The end of business today, ICE and HHS will be in violation of a court order to reunite the children with their parents. "We are a country of law and order," apparently doesn't apply to this administration. What is the prospective nominee's view on the impotence of the judiciary?
