The 43-day government shutdown exposed a constitutional crisis: Prosecutors kept working while defense attorneys went unpaid, halting a death penalty case.

Correctional officer absenteeism has at least doubled since the shutdown began, resulting in more frequent double shifts or persons in other jobs filling in for correctional officers.

Overall, I would rank Volume Eleven as better than the Volume Ten (and Nine and Eight...), though not as good as some of the earlier releases.

Sen. Ted Cruz had to apologize to WWII veterans. Now he should apologize to the whole country for using all of our suffering to further his own political fortunes.
