One thing very few people have reported on. Biden will be the first President since 2017 not to have mused about dating his daughter.
It appears that Biden has never settled a fraud claim for twenty five million dollars, another first.
He will be the first President since 2017 not to have the Department of Justice represent him in a lawsuit about whether he lied about raping a woman
All I'm saying is that it's all pretty historic
He will be out first President in 4 years to have never advised people to apply disinfectants internally to fight COVID, and it appears he harbors no beliefs about the efficacy of nuclear weapons to prevent hurricanes
And you know, the lawsuit was dubious and was dismissed, but it's worth noting, Biden will be our first President since January 20, 2017 not to have been sued for molesting a child.

In Numbers, the old testament suggests a special concoction of bitter water to determine if a wife has been unfaithful. If she has, she will miscarry. Image
Until recently, most Bibles translated exodus to say that if a man fought a woman and caused her to miscarry, the penalty was a few shekels.

When that became politically incorrect, the translations changed. Image
Lots and lots of Christians, for thousands of years, have believed that life began at the quickening, when movement in the womb could be felt, rather than conception.

Jesus spoke explicitly about divorce, but never about abortion. Yet only one is acceptable to evangelicals.

A dense, maskless crowd gathers in anticipation of more pearls of wisdom

I suspect that many men who marry women with children, like men who adopt or foster or mentor, want to experience the joy of loving and teaching and raising a child even if it is not their own genetic progeny.

That's a beautiful thing.
Like, as a father, I can't watch this man adopt a stepdaughter who he loved and cared for without tearing up. Any judge will tell you that their best court days are adoptions.

What is better about us than finding family?

As a son, it's hard to watch this man give adoption papers to his father without tearing up.

Congratulations to all the people who passed the bar. While it was a fun test to study for, waiting for the results was excruciating.

Many of you will be shocked to learn just how much the enthusiasm you bring as a young lawyer is going to help your clients.
And BTW, If you're up at night, pacing, thinking about what you're going to say at your hearing, or wracking your brain to think of a new legal angle on a hard problem, you're almost certainly already a good lawyer.

We are all only as good as our next fight.
As a brand new lawyer, the quickest way to improve is to regularly read cases in your field, whether you're working on those issues or not. Developing a sense of what "feels right" is going to quicken your issue spotting and make you faster on your feet.

Newsweek has published a column by Jenna Ellis and it's everything you'd hope for.

Which is to say, it reads like a high school sophomore trying to vamp for two pages.

The Declaration of Independence, helpfully, lists the reasons why we left, including show trials for military officers who killed Americans, a failure to allow sufficient immigration, and the arbitrary refusal to pass necessary laws. No mention of "the god revealed in the Bible."
The Founders "strongly debated" what powers should be given to the civil government but "agreed unanimously on the unversality of absolute truth."

I'd LOVE to disagree about the universality of absolute truth, but I have no idea what that phrase means. Image

The Supreme Court of Arkansas ruled today that, although the winning Democratic candidate had been pardoned for the 40-year-old misdemeanor offense of selling mortgaged crops, he was still ineligible to hold office. His opponent wins by default. /1

The Arkansas Constitution forbids anyone who has been convicted of an infamous crime from holding office. And infamous is a pretty broad term, a bit like a "crime of moral turpitude" that covers virtually any form of dishonesty. /2
Here, because the misdemeanors involved converting the property of others to his own use, it qualifies, the Court held. /3
