My @bopinion column today argues that the end of Roe won't mean a national abortion ban or an end to Griswold/Lawrence/Obergefell. Thread: bloomberg.com/opinion/articl… First, on a national ban: In my view, there's no principled reason not to go for it.

How could convicting Trump get 17 Republican votes in the Senate? Thread: 1/x Easiest votes to get are Romney, Toomey, Murkowski, Sasse, Collins. I think leadership would have to supply the next tranche: McConnell, Thune, Barrosso, Blunt. Cornyn is quasi-leadership and respected by other Rs. 2/

We interrupt this vacation for some self-promotion. From a few weeks ago: Progressives' nutty campaign to involve the Little Sisters of the Poor in contraceptive coverage. bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

Cutting rates to 0 and QE are good moves but there's still more the Fed can and should do. bloomberg.com/opinion/articl… Adopting level targeting and zeroing out IOER would top my list.
