6. One of the things

that impressed me the most about the Senate's investigation of Watergate is found in their report: the authors note that they have the duty to educate the public on current affairs. Today, while the Senate's investigation of the Trump-Russian scandal is far superior to that of the House, they are limited in what information they can share with the public. Partly this is due to the on-going Mueller investigation, of course.

Reading DU:GD is always interesting, though there are times when I think that people aren't focusing on what is most important. There are far too many distractions in the media, although many of them are entertaining. But we have to keep our Eyes on the Prize, as the Civil Rights movement used to say. And there are a number of real experts, such as Paul Butler and Maya Wiley, who help steer us in the right direction, when they appear on CNN or MSNBC.

Though I do not confuse myself with being an expert, I have had the opportunity to work with, and learn from, a number of the real experts on federal courts and constitutional law. I do my best to bring some of my understanding of these things here. And I really do appreciate it when people here find it worth reading.
