Katharine, I'm so glad you got to meet Maura and get her book. I look forward to reading it myself. I heard her on a podcast last week. She did so well. I have known her since 1982. We were in grad school together.
SCOTUS is playing games to support Trump. That is what I got out of their ruling. They overlooked, yes, they overlooked the illegal use of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. That issue was not raised. There was no war, invasion on, or “predatory” incursion into U.S. territory. A few immigrants does not measure up and every person here has rights to due process. Overlooking the illegality is deceitful. They are wasting oxygen.
I think that the judges who decided to be redundant using both words are the root problem. They should have made a simple statement without trying to appear overly erudite.
As usual, Katharine, you hit the nail on the head! I agree with you that it is the height of absurdity that the SCOTUS in addition to their duty to interpret the Constitution, now has the additional function of defining words, just because some people, in power, can’t or won’t avail themselves of a dictionary!

That’s right, Jim. I had forgotten that you knew her. Talk up her book whenever you can!

Thanks for reading, Carl. It really is a terrifying time.

Yes, Don A. “Least said, soonest mended.”

Glad to hear from you, Irma. Sometimes I feel a bit wacky so I’m happy it made sense to you.
