Many legal specialists,
including retired top military lawyers,
have rejected the idea that Trump has legitimate authority to treat suspected drug smuggling as legally equivalent to an imminent armed attack on the United States.
Even if one accepted that premise for the sake of argument, they added,
if the boat had already turned away, that would further undermine what they saw as an already weak claim of self-defense.

I used to work in an industry that was very interesting to me, and involved a lot of creativity, but as time went on and the company I was at changed I felt I no longer fit there, doing the sort of work they were pursuing with the people who ran things, so I found a way out.
That "way out" caused me a lot of pain and heartache, and set me back financially for a decade, but I'm still glad I got out because I cannot imagine what life would have been for me if I just stayed.…

This is so much more newsworthy than some bigot asshole sowing what he reaped.
