LEGAL EDUCATION UPDATE: Harvard Will Remain Online in the Spring. Will Other Law Schools Follow? At Tennessee, we’ll be a mixture of online and hybrid. My big Constitutional Law class will be online; my Distilled Spirits Law class will be online for class sessions, but I plan to take them on a few field trips, circumstances permitting.
KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Debate Questions With a Republican Bias I’d Like to Hear. “Join me, won’t you, on this flight of fancy that imagines the existence of a curious, professional journalist class in America. There was a time when curious journalists roamed freely in the United States. They asked questions of politicians that had nothing to do with personal agendas. Let us pretend those days still exist and wonder what kinds of queries might be put to one Joseph Robinette Biden.”
THIS IS CNN: The Washington Examiner’s Susan Ferrechio torches Brian Stelter for dismissing Hunter Biden news, defending Russia coverage.

CAN’T STOP THE SIGNAL: The Media’s Futile Information Suppression Complex: Hunter Biden’s corruption sees the light of day despite their best efforts. “Rather than race to verify the Post’s reporting, reporters at outlets from the New York Times and the Washington Post to National Public Radio have worked to cast aspersions on the two young, female reporters behind the scoop. . . . Reporters who have stepped out of line—and had the temerity to suggest the Post has revealed newsworthy material—have been swiftly reprimanded. . . . Well, where’s the lie? The emails demonstrate that Hunter Biden is a degenerate and a drug addict, facts already well-established by the public record. They show that Joe Biden is a loving father, a fact also well-established. And the emails raise the question—confirmed by other, independent source material and reporting—of whether the younger Biden’s depravity ensnared his loving father into taking meetings with unsavory foreigners. The reporters at once-venerable institutions who at one point might have chased this story have been cowed into submission and supplanted by a new generation of journalists who view their mission not as informing the voting public but rather as herding it toward a particular political outcome. That is why the unauthorized release of Trump’s taxes is front-page news, while the unauthorized release of Hunter Biden’s emails must be censored.”

TO BE FAIR, HE’S DONE THIS IN THE FACE OF RESISTANCE FROM ALL THE BEST PEOPLE IN THE WASHINGTON FOREIGN POLICY ESTABLISHMENT: A friend on Facebook comments: “Donald Trump is the first American President to not send Americans into a new war since President Jimmy Carter. That’s an interval of forty years or so. It’s remarkable, really — and under appreciated.”

BIDEN: “America was an idea. We’ve never lived up to it but we’ve never walked away from it before.“
Former Vice President Joe Biden tweeted that statement Wednesday evening, describing the country he wishes to lead — in the past tense.
The full text of the tweet reads: “America was an idea. We’ve never lived up to it but we’ve never walked away from it before.”

Biden has sometimes added “men and women” to the text of the Declaration, and has occasionally forgotten it altogether (“you know, you know the thing“).
But what is new in Biden’s tweet is his emphasis on America’s mistakes — echoing his recent refrains about “systemic racism,” apparently an attempt to identify with the left-wing protests of the last several months.
President Donald Trump has sought to draw a contrast with Biden on this point, adding a line to his recent speeches: “The Democrat party is ashamed of America. The Republican party is proud of America, and that’s a big difference.”
Its Founding. Winning the Civil War. Winning WWII. MLK. The Moon Landing. Winning the Cold War. I think America has “lived up to it” on many occasions.

It might be what saves us if it all goes bad, and what saves the memory of western civilization for our descendants.
