Law & the Courts

Completing the ‘Top Ten’ Countdown

In today’s Confirmation Tales post, I complete my countdown of my Top Ten posts during the 3-1/2 years that I’ve been doing my Substack on judicial-confirmation battles:

5. The Supreme Court Nominee Who Would Abolish Mother’s Day: How I hid Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s incendiary positions

4. Judicial Retirements and Judicial Vacancies: Exploring the Rule of 80

3. Teddy Roosevelt Quickly Regrets Appointing Justice Holmes: “I could carve out of a banana a judge with more backbone”

2. Larry Tribe Slams Sotomayor to Obama: “Bluntly put, she’s not nearly as smart as she seems to think she is”


And …

1. Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s “Inexorable Zero” of Black Employees: “What if she says yes?”

May you enjoy a wonderful Fourth of July!
