Day 1832: 3-0 appellate court decision!

The Federal Appellate Court ruled 3-0 against Trump's travel ban!  If the decision ultimately reaches the Supreme Court, the 4-4 tie there would return the decision to the lower court.  If the administration had simply done proper research in advance of the original executive order, they might have avoided this humiliation.   DT tweeted, "See you in court!"  They did not think strategically.

So much political news to discuss, but my favorite event of the week till today was Mitch McConnell's effort to shut up Elizabeth Warren.  She was reading a letter written by Coretta Scott King in 1986 regarding the qualifications of Jeff Sessions.  McConnell invoked article 19 which says that a senator may not impugn the reputation of a fellow senator.  However, Warren was simply entering into the Congressional record a pertinent letter by a civil rights icon.   She just went outside the Senate chamber and read it into Facebook live.  It's had over nine millions views.  The action backfired on McConnell and now a new slogan has emerged.  "She persisted!" So true for every woman I know.

Another time, I'll talk about Nordstrom's, Conway and the conflicts of interest.  Too tired after our busy week with rehearsals, meetings, classes, and political action.

On one of our walks this week, we found this lovely scene of Canadaway.
