IT TOLLS FOR ALL OF US: The Death of the Fourth Estate.
WELL, IT IS THE 21st CENTURY: Scientists have created a painless patch that can control diabetes without injections.
THIS ONLY HAPPENS IN THE VERY BEST LEGISLATURES: Colorado legislative session reaches mid-point with virtually no accomplishments.
LEAVING A MESS BEHIND: Putin orders Russian troops to begin pulling out of Syria.

WAITING FOR DONALD: Roger Simon is on location at Trump’s Mar a Lago Estate in Palm Beach tonight, and files a photo-intensive report.

HEH: The Tweet Of The Night Award goes to this one addressed to Democratic operative Brad Woodhouse:
ILLINOIS GOOD NEWS: Thuggish Prosecutor Anita Alvarez Loses Democrat Primary In Illinois. For those who’ve forgotten, Alvarez is the one who prosecuted Tiawanda Moore for recording bad cops, though this is really about her handling of the Laquan McDonald case. It occurs to me that all of this probably fits into the emerging Chicago blacks-vs.-Hispanics political warfare, but regardless of why she lost, I’m glad.
I HOPE HE SENDS A NICE FRUIT BASKET TO THE #BLACKLIVESMATTER PEOPLE WHO PUT HIM OVER THE TOP: Trump takes Illinois.
ISN’T THIS WHAT THE GOP WANTED FOR YEARS? Official: Blue-collar Democrats flocking to Trump.
YEP: Suckering Rubio in wasn’t so much about an immigration deal as it was hopelessly weakening an otherwise-strong GOP candidate. Schumer’s not dumb, but freshman Senators who do deals with him, well . . .
WHY NOBODY WANTS TO TALK ABOUT FEMALE VIOLENCE AGAINST MEN. “Staggeringly, a recent report from liberal Canada, where men are encouraged to talk about their feelings, showed that men are more likely to suffer spousal violence, with 342,000 women and 418,000 men suffering abuse in the preceding five years to 2014. . . . What’s more, violence against men by women isn’t limited to partner abuse.”
But when women hurt men, it’s funny.
BIAS BY SELECTION: “From the pictures they picked, any question who Yahoo News likes & who they dislike?”

CONFIRMED: HOLLYWOOD OFFICIALLY OUT OF NEW IDEAS. Harrison Ford back as Indiana Jones for fifth film, directed by Steven Spielberg.
“Indeed, should the film be released on schedule, Ford will be 77-years-old and Spielberg will be 72 at the premiere.” For a depressing none of us are getting any younger contrast, “Sean Connery was 59 when he played Indiana Jones’ father in The Last Crusade in 1989.”
HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE, LEGAL EDUCATION EDITION: ABA Council Approves 75% Minimum Bar Pass Rate (Within Two Years Of Graduation), 20% Maximum Attrition Rate, Paid Externships. I think that these are all positive steps, though they give bar examiners a lot of power over the number of law schools in their jurisdictions.
EXIT POLLS TODAY: REPUBLICAN VOTERS FEEL ‘BETRAYED’ BY GOP.
Well, that certainly seems to be the case in Florida so far.
Hence, as Roger Simon asked late yesterday: Marco Rubio’s Last Rites?
UPDATE: “Dear Reince, This doesn’t happen to a party that has its shit together,” Steve Green tweets.
TRUE. AMERICANS DON’T LIKE BULLIES. Richard Cohen: Anti-Trump Protesters May Just Get Trump Elected.
ANYBODY ELSE GET THE FEELING HILLARY IS IN POLITICAL HOSPICE CARE? Judicial Watch attorneys told the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia today that they would like to depose eight present and former Department of State employees concerning Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email address and home brew server.
They also said it “may be necessary” to depose Clinton “based on information learned during discovery,” but kindly assured the court they would first ask permission. Judge Emmet G. Sullivan will decide after April 15 who among the eight will be deposed. Don’t be surprised if it’s all eight, including:
- Stephen D. Mull, executive secretary of the State Department from June, 2009, to October, 2012. Mull proposed Clinton use a State Department BlackBerry for email. Her identity would have been protected but the messages would have been subject to the FOIA.
- Lewis A. Lukens, executive director of the department’s executive secretariat from 2008 to 2011. Lukens suggested to Under Secretary of State for Management Patrick F. Kennedy and Clinton Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills, have a government computer to read messages sent to her clintonmail.com address.
- Patrick F. Kennedy preceded Clinton at the department, having served since 2007. He became Clinton’s primary adviser on technology and information services issues.
- Donald R. Reid, senior coordinator for security infrastructure in the department’s Bureau of Diplomatic Security, a position he has held since 2003. Judicial Watch believes Reid participated in discussions in 2009 about Clinton’s use of the Blackberry and other communications devices to conduct official government business.
- Cheryl Mills, chief of staff throughout Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state.
- Huma Abedin, deputy chief of staff for the entirety of Clinton’s tenure. Abedin also had an email account on the Clinton server and accompanied Clinton whenever she was seen in public.
- Bryan Pagliano, Clinton’s IT guru from her unsuccessful 2008 presidential campaign and the individual who kept the private server located at her New York residence operational while she was at the department.
- The eighth individual would be somebody designated by the department to provide information on the process by which FOIA requests are processed in the agency.
HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE, LEGAL EDUCATION EDITION: Law Schools Turn Pink: Women To Outnumber Men For First Time By 2017. Hmm. What generally happens to professions that shift from majority-male to majority-female?
