Mark Dever: “When I go to Mt. Vernon, I don’t assume it’s owner was a Christian. I assume many of his slaves were, and I’ll see them in heaven.”

Not too many serious Brown scholars defend anything other than it's outcome. Of course it was incorrectly decided.

If he had asked "Should gov't keep schools segregated" she would've said "Nope" which is exactly why he didn't ask her that. This legitimately infuriates me.

[Jacob Phillips @lawrence15]

Brown was incorrectly decided in about 3 different ways, of course. Manufactured outrage is silly, and the question itself was silly. He knew what he was doing. https://t.co/1nQaGOLiHa

WATCH: During her confirmation hearing this morning (yes, this morning – in 2018), judicial nominee Wendy Vitter refused to say whether she agreed with the result in Brown v. Board of Education. #UnfitToJudge

It's not newsworthy as written. I understand a possible implication of the piece, but it's *really* implicit (i.e. hidden) and not at all useful absent such implication.

[Jacob Phillips @lawrence15]

This is an example of a piece that shouldn't have been published. It's not making a point, and it's distillation of facts absent context is just confusing.

I think that a lot of people on the left are starting to see mainstream outlets as explicitly left-wing political projects. I think that this would be a tragic mistake on any number of levels. And it wouldn't get the left what they want

@bomani_jones Having spent an inordinate amount of time watching video, this is 100% true. Another thing that was 100% true? Legler's initial reaction, which got him unfairly criticized.

@charlescwcooke No its not. Don't be silly.

Wait...you *are* being silly, right?

Uh... good? You can’t style yourself a champion of the First Amendment & then demand federal employees be stripped of clearance unless they’re personally pro-Trump. https://t.co/4ZTGkwc1Z4

@EsotericCD Listening to Queen is marginally better than staring at a wall, so if that's your other option, then sure.

Thus, they are now caught in a bit of a Catch-22 of their own making.

[Jacob Phillips @lawrence15]

McCarthy makes a good point in his @NRO piece: if Cohen's payment was *as Trump's lawyer*, it probably falls under a privilege exception. If it was *as his friend* (and thus not a strategy per se) any communications aren't privileged at all.

[Jacob Phillips @lawrence15]

@radleybalko Not unless it falls under a privilege exception.

[Jacob Phillips @lawrence15]

Michael Cohen is definitely a guy who would unironically describe himself as a wartime consigliere.
