Why Alito’s explanation stinks.

ProPublica reminds the justice of a fishing trip he would rather forget.

seems like a good day to resurface this, about Merrick "No Cowboy" Garland.
washingtonpost.com
The portrayal of Garland as the great politicizer is a smear of a man who has devoted his career to ensuring the opposite.

The notion that I would be sharing with the world the true numbers about my weight—this was a need-to-know state secret kept even from my husband—is astonishing to me. But so is the fact that I now weigh less than I did when I graduated from high school.

This is the most personal piece I have ever written, about my struggles with weight, a new class of medications and our attitude toward obesity and overweight.

Ozempic’s just part of a new arsenal of medications being used to treat obesity.

Federal judges won’t let me buy them lunch. Clarence Thomas was happy to have a GOP donor pick up the tuition bill for the grand -nephew he was “raising as a son”
washingtonpost.com
Clarence Thomas's many debts to a GOP megadonor are now impossible to ignore.

The door was open so as not to block dog and make him bark during the hit!.
Nice depth. Love the light fixture/its shade. Close the door so as not to block art. 9/10 @RuthMarcus

CNN reporting Justice Thomas will amend financial disclosure to reflect real estate deal. 1) this is not enough; he should show Crow and other private plane travel .2) excuse--he lost $ and didn't think that needed reporting--not credible. 3) he's a recidivist non-discloser.

Transparency is not Judge Kacdmaryk’s first instinct
washingtonpost.com
The judge who delivered a high-stakes abortion pills ruling last week removed his name from a law review article during his judicial nomination process, emails obtained by The Post show.

I haven’t tweeted for months now, but this brilliant takedown of Judge Kacsmaryk’s opinion by @AdamUnikowsky is worth breaking my silence.

A former—and God forbid would-be future president—wants to “terminate” co stititoon guarantees trust would stop him from seizing g power. We need to pay attention.
washingtonpost.com
A man who took an oath to “preserve, protect and defend” the Constitution has hijacked “our great Founders” in the service of his megalomania.

Everything you always wanted to know—really, you do!—about originalism. My new essay.

The more liberals present originalist arguments, the more they legitimate originalism.

Jack Smith has an aggressive streak and a fast prosecutorial metabolism. Trump has (even more) reason to worry.

Trump should not sleep soundly.
