Now there are 30. If you’re going to have 30 teams, there should be at least 13 players on each side, right? Maybe even 30!Okay, okay, it’s a stupid idea. But you’ll have to forgive me: I watched Thursday’s show on the steps of the Supreme Court, and ever since, I’ve felt much stupider.According to Congressman Nadler (D., N.Y.) and his …With such narrow majorities, this really is no time for the Democrats...…settles it.

Chauvin Trial Bombshell: ‘I Ate Too Many Drugs’ | National Review
Prosecutors at Derek Chauvin’s murder trial in Minneapolis seemed jolted Wednesday when one of their most important witnesses initially testified that during George Floyd’s detention by police, while he appeared to be in fear for his life, Floyd stated, “I ate too many drugs.” Floyd, who was later pronounced dead, could be heard speaking on an audio/visual recording. The witness, Agent James Reyerson of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, acknowledged during cross-examination by Chauvin’s counsel, Eric Nelson, that he could hear Floyd say, “I ate too many drugs.”It was clear that...…Prosecutors at Derek Chauvin’s murder trial in Minneapolis seemed jolted Wednesday when one of their most important witnesses initially testified that during George Floyd’s detention by police, while he appeared to be in fear for his life, Floyd stated, “I ate too many drugs.” Floyd, who was later pronounced dead, could be heard speaking on an audio/visual recording.

The game was something of a double-play that year, and not in a good way: the first All-Star Game played on artificial turf and indoors, in the mausoleum known as Houston’s Astrodome. It was also the first such game played at night in nearly a quarter-century — when a couple of early All-Star Games were played before sparse crowds and...…n 1968, I got the thrill of a nine-year-old lifetime: The National League brought in my new hero, Jerry Koosman — my beloved Mets’ second-best pitcher — to strike out Carl Yastrzemski, ending the All-Star Game with a 1-0 victory over the American League.

Ho-Hum: The Cases Senator Hawley Cites Show Judge Jackson Is an Unremarkable Sentencer in Child-Porn Cases
Senator Josh Hawley could not have been more civil and engaging in his opening statement at Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation hearing today. He was also very fair in alerting Judge Jackson about the specific child-pornography cases he intends to question her about — i.e., about the sentences she imposed in those cases as a federal district judge. This is as it should be. Judge Jackson is a progressive, and progressive judges tend to be light sentencers. It is fair game for senators to probe her judicial philosophy, which includes her approach to sentencing, the most wrenching task...…Senator Josh Hawley could not have been more civil and engaging in his opening statement at Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation hearing today.
