Trump Judicial Nominee Attracts Scorn After Flopping in Hearing
The nominee, Matthew S. Petersen, was unable to answer basic legal questions during a hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee.The story does not say Matthew S. Petersen was not confirmed.
I would like that to be explicit.
Caligula is noted for appointing his horse to the Roman senate.

Opinion
The Deserving Rich and the Deserving Poor
Americans are a generous people, but our generosity comes with moral judgments.Every person's situation is different.
Help should be fitted to the person.
There are no economies in draconian regimentation.
"From each according to their abilities to each according to their needs" is not a bad ideal.
The alternative is starving poor.

The rapid pace of the tax bill moving through Congress left lobbyists with little time and few lawmakers to press for changes in the $1.5 trillion overhaul.Congress should learn to do its job.

Handcuffing 11-Year-Old Girl Was a Mistake, Police Chief Says
Officers in Grand Rapids, Mich., handcuffed a girl at gunpoint this month during a search for a 40-year-old woman suspected in a stabbing.I do not read minds.
The police culture is as sick as the general culture.
A belief in a right to security seems to be root.
