- I can’t say I’m an expert on the Handmaid’s Tale. Does the plot involve a woman graduating from law school, getting high-powered clerkships, becoming a highly regarded law professor and jurist, then possibly ascending to the highest court in the land?
- Congratulations to all involved. Trump made a great pick. McConnell played it shrewdly, as usual. Senate Republicans didn’t blink at the outset when pressure was most intense. And Barrett demonstrated to everyone that she is eminently qualified. Well done.Senate confirms Amy Coney Barrett to Supreme Court, cementing a 6-3 conservative majority with Trump’s third justice washingtonpost.com/politics/court…
- I don’t get how people who didn’t balk at Obama’s refusal to give Ukraine lethal aid can as *as a policy mattter* object to a brief delay in military aid by Trump as a horrendous blow to Ukraine’s defense
- Even if you are partisan Democrat, even if you are alarmed by developments in Fla, Tx, and Az, even if you oppose re-opening, there is *zero* case to be made for Andrew Cuomo as the great conquering hero of covid
00:00 - NR’s editorial: “Not for the first time, or we expect, the last, Bill Barr’s critics are demonstrating their lack of judgment and seriousness, not his.”

- If you want to celebrate a North Korean who was a spectator at a major event, here he is...
- Biden kept his promise to the Taliban to get out of Afghanistan by August 31; he broke his promise to Americans to get them all out before he left.
- This case, like everything related to the Russia investigation, got weaker and weaker the more we learned about it. What a fiasco, and one that the media and half the political spectrum were insanely invested in for years apnews.com/ae1ad252bb1349…
- Credit where it’s due—Pelosi is fully within her rights not to invite the president for the State of the Union address, and actually had the guts to do it
- It appears that ACB got great training for this hearing during all her years in the classroom, patiently explaining to students who didn’t know much how the law actually works
- Well, that easily was the most outlandish press conference ever held by a team of lawyers representing the President of the United States
