1/Impt work by @WSJ showing depth of financial conflicts among fed judges. This is not new as 20 years ago my client ABPnews.com (now defunct) sought to annually create online access to these disclosure filings, something still missing.

2/We literally sued every sitting Fed judge to obtain access to their then current financial disclosure records. Many, not surprisingly, were unhappy with our legal efforts. The @WSJ article shows why.

3/It was an unprecedented lawsuit that needed to be filed. These records should ALWAYS be available online, so long as proper security exists to protect safety of judges & their families (i.e., delete identifying info that could be used to dox).

Random thoughts on the farcical #impeachment #show #trial.
Where's #ChiefJustice #Roberts?
To clarify, the Senate is NOT required to employ the services of the Chief Justice in the conduct of an impeachment trial except when the President is on trial.

Excepting presidential impeachments of #Clinton and #Trump, the modern Senate has impeached through a process in which the matter tried in committee, rather than before the whole Senate, and then and submitted to the Senate for ultimate judgment by the entire body.
In fact, this method was used in the modern impeachments of federal judges @RepHastingsFL and #WalterNixon.
@PPFA gripes about the Trump administration's revival of programmatic restrictions for grant recipients of Title X Family Planning funds. No matter how America's abortion superstore howls, the rule is entirely constitutional.

@BarackObama liked to taunt, "elections have consequences." One such consequence is that we now have the most anti-abortion-acting President that we have had since the decision in Roe vs. Wade reversed the nation's 170-year history of abortion prohibition.
Notice, I didn't say we now have the most anti-abortion President. I didn't say we now have the most pro-life President. I said the most anti-abortion-acting President.
