he promotes himself as a judicial scholar. He has faded a bit lately in my esteem. Used to think of him as pretty smart and fair, but he's been pushing a rather rigid Conservative story line the last few years IMHO.

The die is cast and Trump's end looms large. Though we are doomed to still have a GOP in the WH (succession line is Pence, then Ryan, then Hatch - or anyone 'planted' - should one such resign and be replaced); it will be a great relief to see the Orange Klan - gone.
