Links for 06/20/17

Links for 06/20/17: At the Washington Post, a profile of Jay Sekulow, who has joined President Trump's legal team. If I were hosting a rightwing talk show, I would want this guy on as a guest, but as my lawyer?

At A...

MGB: Jay has a unique view of the Constitution based more on Catholic natural law teaching than history and precedent.  If you want to make a moral statement (or fundraise), hire Jay.  If you want to win, hire someone else.  Such is the naivete of the right-wing legal community (all the way up to Scalia).

People who live by the shore in poor countries are poor and will die in flooding.  U.S. beach goers are richer and can live with plan B.  The same is true with property in fire zones.  In the U.S., warming triggers an insurance payout.  In Asia and Oceana, it means death.

The question is whether suburban Atlanta is looking like the Northern Virginia suburbs and how embarrassed people are about Trump.  Abortion was not an issue here, so it portends nothing to 2018, although the redistricting case may have more to say about that election than this race.
