It’s rare that events from four years ago can still get me steamed, but Justice Brett Kavanaugh and the FBI’s moves to protect him can have that effect on me. A new bombshell from the film Justice has reopened the matter, and I explore it in today’s piece.

The Kavanaugh Cover-up

Last week I wrote about the Court’s own investigation into the damaging leak of the draft Dobbs opinion, which ultimately overturned 50 years of a constitutional right to abortion established by Roe v.

Then, over the weekend, another bombshell dropped, calling the very legitimacy of the Court’s composition into question.

Hey, Republicans: this is who you are now. Shooting at opponents, crushing the middle class, destroying Social Security and Medicare, and reveling in racism. Don't tell me there are any good Republicans left -- that's just a trope that lets you sleep at night.

Opinion | Kellyanne Conway: The Cases for and Against Trump

Shrugging off Mr. Trump’s 2024 candidacy is a fool’s errand. But it would also be foolish to assume that his path to another presidency would be smooth.
