Gorsuch, of all people—imagine that! The more the justices contort themselves into jurisprudential knots, the harder it is to escape from them when the need to do so is obvious.

Looking at Andrew’s life, it certainly makes one wonder what a certain son of a landlord could have done with his life if he hadn’t had to spend so much time making money.

Since Congress has neither the power nor the desire to fire him, what exactly is the point of getting thousands of nice people to write heartfelt letters urging them to do so? As far as I can recall, public pressure hasn’t changed any votes in Congress this year, except for the Epstein files.

Stop Using Face ID Right Now. Here's Why Biometric locks like face recognition are convenient to set up—but because of a legal loophole, law enforcement can bypass them more easily than a traditional passcode.
