Wednesday Short Cuts
Notable quotables from People Magazine, Ketanji Brown Jackson, the ACLU, Katy Tur, Whoopi Goldberg, Mark Wagner, Greg Gutfeld, and more.
Rest in Peace
“Sadly, the Great Influencer, Scott Adams, has passed away. … He will be truly missed. God bless you Scott!” —President Donald Trump
Yellow Journalism
“Scott Adams, Disgraced Dilbert Creator, Dies at 68.” —People Magazine headline
Dumb & Dumber
“For cisginger [sic] girls, they can play consistent with their gender identity. For transgender girls, they can’t.” —Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson
“We do not have a definition [of sex] for the Court.” —an ACLU attorney to Justice Samuel Alito
Braying Jennies
“Officials [are] saying [Renee Good] was dangerous, not just some innocent mother of three. Just like they say Kilmar Abrego Garcia isn’t just a Maryland father.” —MS Now’s Katy Tur
“The violent criminals seem to be in the agency.” —"The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg regarding ICE
For the Record
“Law-enforcement officers make split-second decisions in chaos, guided by training and law, when hesitation can be fatal. We perceive threats in real time — tinted windows, sudden movements, a suspect’s history — not in slow-motion replays. Yet we’re judged in hindsight, often through political lenses.” —Wisconsin LEO Mark Wagner
“Once a federal law is passed and upheld by the Supreme Court, you must obey the law. If you don’t obey the law, then we’re back to the Civil War, which was fought over the idea that states could ignore the federal government. … Left-wing Democrat governors and mayors are defying federal law.” —Gary Bauer
“The political movement that gained momentum from George Floyd’s death in 2020 didn’t make America safer for people who looked like Floyd. It only weakened police and subjected Americans of all colors to more violence.” —Daniel McCarthy
Make Responsibility Great Again
“I want every liberal … to engage in a thought scenario. … If your sister is telling you that instead of caring for her children or her mental health that she prefers to stalk law enforcement, would you say, ‘You go girl?’ Of course not. You would say, ‘You need an intervention.’” —Greg Gutfeld
And Last…
“As a result of Bill Clinton not showing up for his lawful subpoena … we will move next week in the House Oversight Committee markup to hold former President Clinton in contempt of Congress.” —Rep. James Comer (R-KY)
