I’ve been thinking about the Bret Stephens column for a few days and here’s the reason it bothers me most. In my experience, being part of a community targeted by bigots of any kind usually leads to two kinds of views on the world:
One in which you want to banish all kinds of bigotry in the world, even the kind that doesn’t affect your community directly; or one in which you want to use the rhetoric and methodology of the bigots to show that actually you not them are at the top of the hierarchy.
Having seen grown up with people like my parents, who experienced more hardship and anti-Semitism than Bret Stephens could ever dream of, I know the power of chosing the first path.

Remember that time everyone said hey, Harry Reid, don't get rid of the filibuster because one day Democrats will be in the minority? Well, it's a shame he didn't listen. washingtonpost.com/politics/one-i…
"Trump nominees make up 1 in 4 U.S. circuit court judges. Two of his picks sit on the Supreme Court. And this past week, as the House voted to impeach the president, the Republican-led Senate confirmed an additional 13 district court judges."
And why were there so many vacancies for Trump to fill in the first place? "“I’ll tell you why. I was in charge of what we did the last two years of the Obama administration,” McConnell said, laughing."

Congressman Will Hurd and the myth of the reasonable Republican. My latest: gq.com/story/will-hur…
Hurd has been critical of the president, especially on national security, is retiring, and still voted "no" on impeachment. But is he really retiring? “I’m 42 years old," he told me. "Everyone says I’m retiring; I’m just getting started.”
Why do liberals, in the face of all contrary evidence, keep hoping Republicans will vote like Democrats? "I have no idea where this hope comes from, but probably from ‘West Wing,’” says @KevinMKruse.

#NPR is like FIR (First Information) report of #NRC
NPR will be for everyone, so saying that only Muslims will be affected is not true
In #Assam 75% of 19 lakh, who were excluded from the final list were non muslims

These 19 lakh failed to prove their Citizenship of India
1/n
Lets assume they all are illegal immigrants and they should be thrown out of India

But where can you throw them away?

They don't have proof of where they came from

Under which law can you send them to Pakistan,Bangladesh or Afghanistan?

There's no such law to deport them
2/n
What next?
Those who don't have any papers to prove their country of origin don't fall under 'Illegal Immigrant'

Who are they?
They are Stateless people

Whose responsibility are they?
They are responsibility of the State (Country) where they are identified, Food & Shelter
