Justice Antonin Scalia’s Supreme Court Legacy

Justice Antonin Scalia left a huge imprint on this court. Now the Senate must allow President Obama to fill that seat.

"Given how blindly ideological the Republicans in the Senate are, after nearly eight years of doing little besides trying to thwart Mr. Obama, it is disturbingly likely that Mitch McConnell, the Senate majority leader and architect of the just-say-no approach, will lead his colleagues in keeping Justice Scalia’s seat open, and the highest court in the land essentially paralyzed, in the hope that one of the hard-right Republicans running for the presidency will win."

It is a club to beat the Obama administration.

Caramelized leeks, a bundle of fresh herbs and heavy cream build layers of flavor into this vegetable soup.

I can make this soup.

At Jason Wu, Textural Takes on Eyes and Hair

The look at the fall/winter 2016 show included slightly messy waves and clumped mascara.

Looking at the girls is not the objective of the show.
It is not the "meat market".

The Upshot

Medical Residents, Misplaced Pride and Saner Hours

Studies suggest there are no harms from long hours, but reduced hours aren’t a problem either.

Getting it right the first time is the object.

It was natural causes luckily.

The illness appeared in the country too recently for most pregnant women who contracted it to determine the risk of birth defects.

Denial of abortion is wrong.

Zika must be proven a causal agent of birth defects.
