#Gorsuch: "It matters not a whit that some of the drafters of the 14th amendment were racist, they were. Or sexist, they were...."

NEW: Why the Justice Department is backing this small Virginia church in the country’s reopening debate
time.com/5839009/virgin…
I spoke to Pastor Kevin Wilson, who is in legal trouble for a 16-person service. He ministers to people who have struggled with addiction, prostitution and mental health: “If we don’t reach out to these people, then they’ll go back to areas in their life that they came out of”
Wilson’s case is one of just 2 throughout the country where the Justice Department has formally taken a side— DOJ supports Wilson. The other case was also on the side of another church

My latest: When Trump began running for re-election on the slogan "Keep America Great," the country looked very different than it does now. How coronavirus is forcing the campaign to readjust: time.com/5824389/trump-…
One key idea in the campaign and White House is that voters won't fault Trump for the current economic trouble, but will give him credit for the previous highs. “He built it to incredible heights once, and he will do it a second time," says campaign comms director Tim Murtaugh
"The President doesn’t seem to own the negative economic outcome from this unprecedented global pandemic,” a White House official says, adding that “he would have owned the negative health outcomes, if he had opened up” the economy too soon

Leaving oral arguments now. Kavanaugh asked 2 qs, both on the same idea: if in theory there was an admitting privileges law where all docs could get privileges and there was no effect, would that still be unconstitutional?
Put another way, kavanaugh was interested in how much the facts on the ground in each state matter when assessing admitting privileges laws, versus a blanket they’re always unconstitutional or always constitutional
Roberts and kavanaugh seem to be thinking about the case in similar ways— Roberts asked some questions along these lines too

NEW: I've spent months reporting this story to take you inside Brett Kavanaugh's first term on the Supreme Court, and to explore how he is wielding the power he was granted after such a wrenching confirmation process. I hope you'll give it a read.
time.com/longform/brett…
Deep analysis of Kavanaugh's judging in here, with some surprising statistics from @AdamSFeldman: Kavanaugh voted with Kagan and Breyer as much as he voted with Gorsuch. And there were as many 5-4s with liberals + 1 conservative in the majority as there were traditional splits
And lots of details about life inside Kavanaugh's world: he has a Bible in his office at the Court tabbed to Matthew 25, with one of his favorite verses: "I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.”

Barr's youngest daughter's wedding was the day after Trump announced him as AG.
He gave a funny toast at the wedding, recounted to me by someone who was there:
"I’m the only guy in Washington who would upstage his daughter’s wedding by being announced for the second time as Attorney General by the president," Barr said
Then he turned to his daughter and said: "You know, the good news is that right before they drag the Barr name through the mud, you get to change it. So that’s my wedding gift to you. Change your name, today."
