Barr has thrown himself in with Trump in ways unbecoming to the nation's highest legal official. His conduct in trying to clear Trump is of a piece with his baseless attacks on 'spying' by the FBI and his defiance of Congress's subpoenas.

Baseless victimhood is usually the last stage before outright aggression.

The 'science' for which the United States is respected has nothing to do with the unscientific and baseless theory of evolution.

There is great beauty in going through life without anxiety or fear. Half our fears are baseless and the other half discreditable.
