Ex-Minnesotan in Philly. (And yes, this is really my name, and no, I don't write for Semafor. But he's good, isn't he?)

My namesake is a star political reporter and I think my father secretly wished I was him. *sigh*

While a new Congress could reduce the number of justices, they couldn't "remove the new members"; they'd have to wait for attrition. The Constitution grants them life tenure. In 1866, Congress reduced the size from 10 to 6, and two justices left before it was increased to the present 9.

Oh no, you broke The Desire Company's embargo. (So dumb to ask someone not to tell a secret this way. Like "that conversation we just had was off-the-record" dumb.)

I took the LSAT my senior year but decided to be a computer nerd. 5 years later the score was gonna expire so I went to law school, did very well, joined a midsized firm, was completely miserable, and went back to nerddom with a far better ability to break down problems.

Me on this date in 1998: "Ha! I'm still writing '1996' on my checks!" Me on this date in 2024: "A check is a small rectangular piece of paper once used to transfer money between bank accounts."
