And btw Jenny Racicot is a hero. She saw another woman with different political beliefs get attacked and shamed for telling the truth and instead of keeping her head down—she ran to defend her at the risk of her own safety and reputation. That takes real guts these days.
UPDATE: NPR's Kelly McBride said reporter Nina Totenberg was listening to Chief Justice John Roberts announcing retirements and misheard one of his comments.
The story on Samuel Alito's retirement was pre-written and quickly published. No one checked with Alito's office first.
@KaelanDC SCOTUSblog reporter that PIO reached out to Nina and she confirmed it was published in error. Jumped the gun on a pre-write seems most likely to me.
“In response to the state and local officials' comments, Miller told Fox News Digital, ‘When governments send letters that look like threats, sound like threats, and walk like threats, they shouldn't be surprised when people take them as threats.’”

Three @PacificLegal lawsuits in the @nytimes' tracker of litigation against the Trump administration are at their core all about one thing: constitutional limits on government power.🧵
Politicians have plenty of unpredictable crises to deal with.
But the Social Security trustees write a report to Congress every year telling them the date when this particular crisis will happen.
It used to be far in the future. Now, it’s just six years away.
The allegations against Platner are better corroborated than the allegations against Brett Kavanaugh were and it will be interesting to see who manages to be consistent in their beliefs about such things.
A textualist Florida Supreme Court released an opinion on what "is" means. It's great for employers, bad for whistleblowers.
Newly minted Chief Couriel referenced John Keats. Will be looking for more romanticism-era poetry in coming cases.

@Alex__Ebert I feel like I make this kind of choice constantly! What good is a 40 ounce jug of shampoo when my shower doesn’t have a shelf in that can hold it (let along bear the force of using the asinine pump top). I read “value size” as a threat these days!
