George Conway wrote in The Atlantic (paywall) on Wednesday that it’s not the ruling itself, but the weakness of the dissents that make the case stronger. Erick Erickson disagreed, as do other lawyers I’ve read on social media. …

According to his …

The other night I watched “The Untouchables” with my family. My wife and oldest son had never seen it. There’s this scene where reporters catch Capone, played by Robert De Niro, and ask about the tax evasion indictments. I’ve seen it umpteen times. The body language, and the words. remind me of someone who used to be …

The Luftschutzhäuser and Luftschutztürme were above-ground, massive structures designed to protect German citizens in World War II. They were truly a marvel of construction, and there were a lot of them, enough to protect five percent of the civilian population in 70 cities throughout Germany.
