2 underreported stories thx to Trump's idiotic wall

2 underreported stories thanks to Trump's idiotic wall delusions:

1:
#SCOTUS disregards Establishment Clause to expedite prisoner death
https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow/watch/scotus-disregards-establishment-clause-to-expedite-prisoner-death-1439948355738

Hobby Lobby disaster wasn't a one-off. Conservative "originalist" hypocrites apparently have deleted the Establishment Clause from their copy of the Constitution. Even this atheist thinks a condemned person should have religious counseling/comfort of their choosing, not the choice of a theocratic state.


2:
Trump intervenes in support of coal plant owned by major donor
http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/trump-intervenes-support-coal-plant-owned-major-donor

The blatant pay-for-play in this is too outrageous for words.

I hope you are right. So far, I guess its only the local media covering it.

We need to inundate M$M with these real events so that the public knows more about how this Individual (1) has corrupted the rule of law in so many areas. M$M concentrates on repeating two or three speculation stories over and over again each day, not really investigating real stories. Thank you Panich52.
