Insight: “The courts in the United States are continually called upon to deal with questions that are purely political and governmental; to enter, partially at least, into the realm of legislation; and to discuss questions of political, economic, and social theory.” —Charles Haines (1856-1929)

History lesson: “Abe Lincoln freed and protected the slaves and he was republican. Republicans were the ones who’s [sic] helped black people … democrats protected the rights of the slave owners in the South.” —Kanye West continuing to blow leftist minds

Frowning upon dissent: “Kanye West is a very creative young man. … But we also think that sometimes West talks out of turn and perhaps he needs some assistance in helping him to formulate some of his thoughts. … I think maybe he should think twice about politics — and maybe not have so much to say.” —Rep. Maxine Waters

For the record: “There’s tremendous irony to Waters calling West uninformed, a person who needs help formulating his thoughts. This is a woman who called the Los Angeles riots an ‘uprising.’ This is a person whose husband, a major stockholder in OneUnited Bank, stood to see major benefit from her position on the House Financial Services Committee. This is a Congresswoman who said that Putin was invading Korea (not Crimea), said that she was once a Millennial (nope), promoted abortion by saying, ‘I have to march because my mother could not have an abortion’ (wut) and claimed that she never called for Trump’s impeachment after calling repeatedly for Trump’s impeachment.” —Ben Shapiro

Alpha Jackass: “By the way, I take the apology back. F—k [Trump]!” —Kathy Griffin, who infamously displayed a faux severed head of Trump

And last… “If there was any doubt the Mueller probe was run by biased politicos, the leak of Trump questions to the media confirms it.” —Liz Wheeler
