A portion of Jeanine Pirro’s opening statement yesterday was very good. I love her dig at Laura Bush. Here it is:
“Every day, family court separates parents from their children; every day criminal judges separate parents from their children and every day, children are placed in foster care away from their parents. And I haven’t heard anyone on the left complain.

“When you cross the border into the United States illegally, expect to be arrested. You do not have the right to come here. We did not invite you here and you cannot stay here, but on your way out, you can thank Bill Clinton and his Flores settlement that requires that children be taken away from their parents within 20 days of crossing the border, and you can also thank Presidents Bush and Obama for signing into law that children cannot be detained at the border longer than 20 days under the Trafficking Victims Protection Act.
And now everyone wants to go after President Trump. This is not something that President Trump created. George Bush did nothing about it. Barack Obama did nothing about it. And by the way, Laura Bush, we haven’t seen you for a while, thanks for entering the fray and calling the removal of children cruel and inhumane. Why didn’t you just roll over one night and tell your husband, the president, that his zero tolerance policy was cruel and inhumane?”
