Greetings! Doofus alert. Trump cabinet cast member Kristi Noem, the country’s head of Homeland Security, blew it big time yesterday as she flubbed the definition of habeus corpus. While appearing before a Senate committee on her department’s budget, she was asked by Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-NH) about the meaning of the term.  NPR reports what happened next and try not to let your jaw hit the floor: “The secretary responded: ‘Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country.’ In reality, habeas corpus is a bedrock constitutional legal principle that safeguards individuals from unlawful imprisonment by enabling them to petition the court to review the legality of their detention.” You can watch the entire four-minute video of Sen. Hassan’s epic and well-deserved takedown of numbskull Noem here.  Worth noting: on MSNBC this morning, commentator Katty Kay theorized that Noem really knew the definition but she was giving an answer that Trump would like. Kay also said that Noem should know the definition of habeus corpus given her position…I just started reading “Original Sin.” Pretty damn good.  I’ll have a full report next week unless the fishing is good over the Memorial Day weekend and I get lazy…Dept. of Frivolous Distractions: NBA Eastern Conference finals begin tonight.  Go Knicks!…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.
