So if you're the judge who issues an order like this to a *baby*, or the government-funded USCRI attorney who doesn't speak up, what do you do next? Go home, have dinner with your spouse, go to bed, and get up for another perfectly normal workday? What kind of life is this?

They tell themselves “there’s nothing i can do about this” and “I didn’t make it this way I’m just here to follow the laws” and “if you don’t like it, vote.”

Just like the Auschwitz guards who went home, played with their kids, and got a good night's sleep before returning to the selection platform the next day. Ordinary people are capable of extraordinary evil, especially when it's bureaucratized.

“What kind of human being is this?” would be a better question. Every time I think we’ve already hit rock bottom, this administration proves me wrong.
