Before everyone gets excited, read Lindsey Halligan's resume. It's as good as I've seen appointed by a Democratic president: that bar lowered with the appointment of Ketanji Brown Jackson to the US Supreme Court, and that appointment had far reaching impact.
Let's start with the fact that Judge Jackson's appointment is a lifelong appointment. Judge Halligan's appointment is an interim appointment. US Supreme Court rulings are not appealable. Judge Halligan's rulings are reviewable and appealable.
Because my wife was with me, we were listening to NPR on way back from Ft Worth today. They were discussing the indictment of James Comey. It was amazing to hear the bias in the reporting. My wife and I have learned not to discuss politics. She would have accepted the NRP viewpoint hook, line, and sinker. I was appalled this was considered national, public, radio.
