Buggerthebooboisie is dedicated to the memory and spirit of H.L. Mencken (above) who coined "booboisie," loosely defined as the middle class of the gullible masses. Mencken's observations and commentaries have withstood the test of time -- with appalling modern relevance. I invite all commentary that debunks the prevailing nonsense in America's political and social dialogue. As a newspaperman I also invite the reminiscences of others who recall the happier days of the trade.

Who you callin' so-called?
So-called President Donald Trump, predictably, has called U. S. District Court Judge James Robart of Washington State a "so-called" Judge after Judge Robart issued a temporary nationwide ban on key parts of the Trump regime's order restricting immigration to the United States.
Since "so-called" suggests illegitimacy, it seems reasonable to ask who is the illegitimate one here?
Trump, America's insulter-in-chief, who assumed the Presidency after losing the popular vote by almost three million, is possibly the most illegitimate and certainly the most unpopular president ever to occupy the Oval Office.
Or, Judge James Robart, legitimately nominated by a Republican, President George W. Bush, and legitimately and unanimously confirmed by the U.S. Senate in a 99 to 0 vote in 2004.
Thank God for Judge Robart. Going forward our country may need to depend on such judges to protect against continuing assaults on citizens' rights to liberty and justice.
