Bostock, authored by Gorsuch, was God’s little joke on those who thought they could block progress by keeping Merrick Garland off the court.

Is Jb's daily nothingburger really necessary?

[Syd Henderson]

Yes. Happy birthday Justice Gorsuch!

I remember August 29 as the air date for the last episode of “The Fugitive”. 1967 (I think). I was tuned like half of America was. If a connection could be drawn to the Supreme Court it would make a more interesting “Today in . . .” post.

Last summer I actually visited the area where the movie was filmed. The crashed train is still there, and you can recognize the scenery as you tube down the river the Fugitive fled down.

Brett,
Ever since that movie, I always refer to Tommy Lee Jones as "Henhouse, Doghouse."

JB has me totally convinced that SCOTUS specifically met on the historical date to welcome such illustrious future member. So much for “Today in Supreme Court History”.
