End of August and most everyone is off. Not much going on until September 2.  I know I’m ignoring federal authorities invading Chicago because I don’t know exactly how that’s going to look.

During President Trump’s first term, I suggested that because public safety was being ignored by some states, the federal government had the power to control criminality.  There is much precedent for that; perhaps the most intense was the federal takeover of the New Orleans police department.

All Presidents take an oath to protect Americans, and that doesn’t stop at the state line.  The murder rate in Chicago and other progressive cities is far too high, and, at least in the Windy City, the locals will not take the action needed to stop the madness.

So, Mr. Trump will prevail on this one.  At least that’s my prediction. The Supreme Court will be busy this autumn.
