MGB:_Freedom of commerce requires some degree of equal access because it is a Positive right granted by the state. Freedom of speech is an inherent negative right. Lines need to be drawn and not forcing the printing of a tee shirt is probably where this occurs. Some shirts with fighting words should never be allowed. God Hates Fags is one of them.

I suspect the Senate compromise will pass and Trump will sign it. There may even be an immigration bill that goes in separately. I expect lots of must pass legislation will get done soon so that when the Mueller report comes out we can all have a nice national crisis.

I suspect Mrs. Hartnett-White would not have been able to handle the rough and tumble of Washington without the shelter global warmth of the Koch embrace.

Fr. Gonzalez should be able to get a Visa as a missionary without having to home or wait to get it. So should all students who would otherwise be eligible for a student Visa and graduates who could get an H-1B without worrying about caps. This should not be hard. How we deal with their parents is another matter, but maybe changing NAFTA to Canadian standards could keep them here with the clock starting now to be able to get a green card would thread the needle.

The government is not a construction company, although if the bipartisan Senate bill passes the money will be there to hire one. It is hard to know where to start when you have nowhere near enough to help everyone. It is easier when no one will be asking why someone else went first.
