THE JUDGE ELEANOR ROSS SEX-AND-JUDICIAL-OPINIONS SCANDAL HAS BROKEN INTO THE NYT: “For years, Judge Eleanor Ross’s secret was passed down from law clerk to law clerk. They whispered about the sultry jazz music that emanated from her chambers when a uniformed police commander, a man they called her “visitor,” disappeared into her private office. The clerks could sometimes hear the unmistakable sounds of sex from behind the door. They chalked it up as one of the burdens of working for Judge Ross, who routinely rubber stamped their draft orders and added little else before issuing them as rulings. But the clerks in the Atlanta courthouse felt helpless: Do you report your married boss, a federal judge no less, for having a clandestine in-office affair with a law enforcement officer?”

Finally one did.

LIFE IN TWO-TIER KIER’S WORLD:

WELL…

I think it’s worth noting that a number of black witnesses for the prosecution delivered testimony that was highly damaging to Anthony’s defense.

THE PRICE OF HORRIBLE LEADERS:

STEVEN CALABRESI: Remembering Gordon Wood. “Gordon Wood was a towering scholar in every way. He was the best historian of the American Revolution and of the writing of the Constitution and, in general, of the period from 1760 to 1826, of all time. No-one else in the 237 years since the Constitution went into effect even comes close.”

Well, don’t undersell Forrest McDonald.

HE’S AN EMPTY VESSEL, LIKE MOST DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES:

ANALYSIS: TRUE. Britain should be kicked out of NATO until it mends its ways.

THANK YOU, GARBAGE PEOPLE OF THE LEFT, FOR SHOVELING DIRT ON BLACK LIVES MATTER’S GRAVE:

SOMALIS NOT GOING OUT OF THEIR WAY TO LOOK GOOD TO THE COUNTRY THAT IS LEANING TOWARD DEPORTING THEM ALL:

OPEN THREAD: Hump Day.
