    This is clearly a new day. We are witnessing a revolution in how Democrats are considering and prioritizing judicial nominees, led by President President Biden and embodied by chief of staff Ron Klain, they are upending the model of lawyers that Democratic presidents will consider for Senate Judiciary.

And it’s always been about us as this sort of young disruptive generation that was too spoiled, that had arrested development, that was upending family life, retirement, housing, employment, we’ve grown up seeing ourselves that way, as the young upstarts, as the disruptors, as the people around whom culture, and especially youth culture, are shaped. Of course we’re going to feel fed up about the fact that we’re now middle aged.

Right now, people seeking abortion across Texas are panicking — they have no idea where or when they will be able to get an abortion, if ever. Texas politicians have succeeded for the moment in making a mockery of the rule of law, upending abortion care in Texas, and forcing patients to leave the state — if they have the means — to get constitutionally protected healthcare. This should send chills down the spine of everyone in this country who cares about the constitution.

  5. Steven Fulop:
