UNEXPECTEDLY: Men afraid to mentor young female lawyers, solicitor chief claims. “Senior male partners at law firms are refusing to mentor younger women because of fears that unjustified allegations will be made against them, the head of the profession claims. There has been an unanticipated and unwanted backlash caused by the #MeToo movement, Christina Blacklaws, president of the Law Society, argued last week. Ms Blacklaws told a conference on gender diversity that senior men were reluctant to engage in formal mentoring schemes with younger female colleagues for fear they might leave themselves open to allegations of inappropriate behaviour.”

Unanticipated and unwanted.

It makes 755 horsepower—over 300 horsepower more than the Raptor.”

BREAKING: TRUMP ANNOUNCES NOMINEE TO REPLACE KAVANAUGH. “Whoa. Trump’s deregulation leader Neomi Rao to the federal court — to assume seat vacated by Kavnanaugh,” Debra J. Saunders tweets. The Washington Free Beacon adds:

Rao, 45, serves currently as the administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, making her the “regulatory czar” of the Trump administration. From that position, she has been responsible for what Politico characterized as the “deconstruction of the administrative state.” In her first year, Rao told the Free Beacon in an interview in May, OIRA has cut 22 regulations for every one it imposed, saving the taxpayers some $8 billion in fiscal year 2017 alone.
