As many of you know, some of Mark's happiest times in the United States have been spent at Hillsdale College, where he first spoke some two decades ago and where for some years he taught a writing class. Post-Constitution Day (so to speak), June 18th, Larry Arnn, the college's president, welcomed Steyn back to address a Hillsdale audience, albeit one gathered in America's depraved national capital. The subject was the accelerating degeneration of the country's dirty stinkin' rottten corrupt "justice" system and its impact on presidential candidates, obscure "niche Canadians" and even a few audience members, such as Peter Navarro.

On the disgusting state of federal "law" "enforcement":
.@MarkSteynOnline "The FBI subversion of the election is enough for me." And that's before the "entrapment" of January 6th. "The FBI is rotten from top to toe, and it's gotta go!" Watch live: https://t.co/5n9qalo70z

The last word from @MarkSteynOnline: "The Secret Service is beyond repair. We have to abolish it and start again. And break up the Department of Justice!"

And of course the small picture - Steyn's own ongoing travails:
.@MarkSteynOnline I didn't think it would take four months to litigate a four-paragraph blog post. My case is now in its thirteenth year! "We are currently on our fifth trial judge--a phrase that does not exist in functional jurisdictions." Watch live: https://t.co/5n9qalo70z
