    31 Jan 2023

    The scene in the courtroom just before noon was busy but muted. About 40 or so people, almost all journalists, chatted.

Nor is the necessary conversation about the nature of the office Pence held — a conversation with potential lessons for the

    A big question, who judges the judges?

    15 May 2023

    For a man who spent decades sitting in silence on the Supreme Court bench, Clarence Thomas has certainly found a way to get his name in the news. Since the beginning of 2022, Thomas has seen his wife Ginni exposed as having been deeply involved in the plot to overthrow the 2020 election, dealt with revelations that he

    The Supreme Court won’t save former president Trump

    09 Dec 2023

He has more than enough money to pursue his legal strategy of delay, delay, delay in the multiple criminal cases against him. He has a federal judiciary that moves ponderously in the wake

    A message for students in affirmative action’s aftermath

    22 Jul 2023

    It’s a weird time to be an Asian American high schooler. Nationwide, political forces are waging a battle for the fate of diversity on college campuses, and if we are to believe conservative activist Edward Jay Blum and the Chinese families supporting him, all of this is for your benefit.
