Incomparably fantastic portrait of pensive, slightly melancholy man in the 1430s by Robert Campin, whose day was today.

Another large law firm capitulates. Absolutely shameful. These firms are helping Trump destroy the rule of law and democracy. If Willkie Farr & Gallagher won't defend itself, why on earth would any client trust it to defend the client?

A federal court’s jurisdiction does not stop at the water’s edge. The question is whether the defendants are subject to the court order, not where the conduct being challenged takes place. Were it otherwise, the government could act lawlessly overseas and courts would be powerless to stop it.
