#SCOTUS, Jan. 8, 2019. With most of the sights in DC shut down, the Supreme Court is drawing a big crowd even for relatively low-profile cases.
It's a one-box Tuesday here at #SCOTUS, meaning one or two decisions in argued cases should be coming at 10a.
The first decision is Justice Kavanaugh's first majority opinion, in Henry Schein, Inc. v Archer & White Sales, Inc., vacating the 5th Circuit in an arbitration case. The decision was unanimous. #SCOTUS

This @lachlan piece on the money that flows behind, underneath, beside, and in front of everything that Leonard Leo does contains at least 5 important stories within it: thedailybeast.com/top-trump-back…
There's so little we know about the funding behind the groups that have been behind the judicial nominations work that it's hard to know exactly what we've seen pieces of before, but there's a lot here.
First off, they posted the document, so kudos to the Daily Beast. documentcloud.org/documents/5676…

06/01/2019 - 78 years ago today, the longest-serving #UnitedStates #President, #Franklin D. #Roosevelt (#FDR) addressed the 77th #Congress with his "#Four #Freedoms" speech with the intent to shift #US #foreign #policy from that of #neutrality to #interventionist.
#FDR promoted the idea that the people of the world, in all nations, shared entitlement to four freedoms: that of the freedom of speech and expression, the freedom of worship, the freedom from want and the freedom from fear.
#FDR is arguably one of the most 'successful' #US Presidents. Some would argue that on the basis of his numerous social policies such as 'the New Deal'. Others, however, would argue that his role during the second world war was more prevalent to his success & everlasting legacy.

"If Whitaker doesn't recuse himself and has any involvement in Mueller's probe, we will expose it, including whether he made any commitments to Trump, is serving as a back channel, or interfering in the probe. He will be held accountable. There must be no ambiguity about that."
"We are calling on the Chief Ethics Official at DOJ to notify us whether Mr. Whitaker has been advised to recuse himself from overseeing Mueller’s investigation. And, we will force Congress to act to protect the Mueller investigation." | @SenSchumer

#BREAKING Trump FIRES Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Trump asked him to submit letter of resignation. Let's remember Sessions did everything Trump wanted, even separated children at border. The ONLY reason Trump fired him: Sessions recused, didn't stop the Russia investigation.
Trump fired Sessions and replaced him with a man who has openly expressed hostility to the Mueller investigation. Matthew Whitaker wrote in 2017 that investigating Trump's financial ties to Russia is beyond Mueller's scope. Ridiculous then. Now dangerous. cnn.com/2017/08/06/opi…
CNN reports Kelly fired Sessions at Trump's request. Before the cray am press conference, at which Trump threatened Democrats who would do their oversight DUTY to investigate him, whipped Republicans who shunned him…and called a woman of color 'racist' for asking abt Nationalism

BREAKING: Attorney General Jeff Sessions resigns at Trump’s request.

It's happening, Trump is going to attempt to end the Mueller probe. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
wapo.st/2qyyRYL
Lindsey Graham in July 2017: "If Sessions is fired, there will be holy hell to pay."

How long before 2018 Lindsey is appointed Attorney General?
Trump named Matthew Whitaker, Sessions' chief of staff, as acting AG. Whitaker is now set to oversee the Mueller's probe.

Whitaker, once wrote an opinion column before joining the DOJ titled "Mueller's investigation into Trump is going too far." nbcnews.com/politics/white…
