In the wake of San Diego County's formal support of the federal lawsuit against California's SB54, the "Sanctuary State" rules, another California city has voted to join the #CounterResistance.

Oberlin College and its Dean of Students Meredith Raimondo are defending a lawsuit brought by the local Gibson's Bakery after in incident in which three Oberlin College students were arrested for shoplifting. Oberlin students launched protests and a boycott of the bakery claiming racial profiling of the students. The college itself cut off business with the bakery, and the lawsuit alleges, assisted in helping organize the protests. The three students eventually pleaded guilty, but that didn't stop the controversy. The boycott continued even after police released data showing there was no racial profiling in shoplifting arrests at the bakery.

Pollster Frank Luntz recently conducted a focus group on former FBI Director James Comey's interview with George Stephanopoulos. The group was comprised of 15 people, Republicans and Democrats who provided feedback while watching the interview.

They had at least one thing in common: all were bothered by Comey's claim that he didn't remember where he was on Election Night.
