Attorney General Barr to give the 15th Annual Olson Lecture #FedSoc2019 
Standing Ovation for AG Barr
Topic: The Constitution's approach to executive power. More than any other branch, the executive branch has met the expectations of the framers. We've seen a steady encroachment on executive branch by other branches.
LOL: the Supreme Court is asking the Trump administration to submit a letter brief on the mootness issue in December's Second Amendment case. The justices gave the SG, like, an hour and a half to file. #SCOTUS
The Justice Department informed the Court that it believes the dispute is not moot (that is, that the case should proceed and the justices should issue a decision). The Court would like the Trump administration to say a bit more on the subject.

The SG has responded to the Court's request and submitted the government's letter views -- just in time to enjoy the Olson reception at #FedSoc2019 #SCOTUS

Huge standing ovation for Justice Kavanaugh at #FedSoc2019. It's been a big year - "I got a new job!"
👏👏👏
👏👏👏
Referring to the way he and WH counsel Don McGahn traded scenes from the movie Miracle in prep for his hearing (read the details in Justice on Trial chapter 9!) - "Coach McGahn, thank you."
Kavanaugh's legacy already secure: he has secured pizza on the SCOTUS cafeteria menu (the traditional duty of the junior Justice). Making Cafeterias Great Again! 🍕👨⚖️
.@senatemajldr gets standing ovation
.@senatemajldr says @FedSoc is invaluable partner to rebuild the judiciary, brick by brick. Being senate majority leader is like being groundskeeper of cemetery. Everyone above you. No one listens.
.@senatemajldr: The most consequential decision I made was my decision not to let President Obama fill Justice Scalia's seat.
