    Mail-In Voting Survives (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    With three bland, technocratic sentences, the Supreme Court saved the midterm elections. In an unsigned order issued on Monday evening, the Court rebuffed the Trump Administration’s bid to impose new rules on voting by mail, restrictions that the Administration claimed were necessary to prevent the phantom menace of voter fraud. Only the two most conservative Justices—Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas—noted their dissent. Justice Brett Kavanaugh said that he believed the mail-in ballot requiremen

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    On a practical level, the confirmation of Todd Blanche to be the nation’s eighty-eighth Attorney General does not matter much. Having already secured Senate approval to be the Deputy Attorney General, Blanche could have remained as the acting Attorney General until the end of President Donald Trump’s second term. But the symbolism of his appointment to the top job matters; it signifies, in the language of the Constitution, the Senate’s “advice and consent.” Most of the time, senators e

    The Outlandish Case Against James Comey (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    The prosecution’s central claim “would be laughable,” one former federal judge noted, if it weren’t intended “to deprive a man of his liberty.”
