Meanwhile – In Other News

The first is the story of Edwin Kneedler. After arguing in front of the Supreme Court, it was announced by Chief Justice Roberts that he just finished making his 160th argument in front of our nation’s highest court, and since he was retiring, it would be hist last such case. The room broke out in applause, and he was given a standing ovation by the entire room, including all nine Supreme Court Justices. 𝐈 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞, 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲.

The second news topic I want to highlight today is the Canadian election. While many in the United States would probably not typically follow the election very closely, it takes on further significance as our own President has flirted with tariffs on Canada in an on-again-off-again dance since his inauguration. In a race that seemed destined for an easy Conservative victory as little as three months ago, the Liberals have won the election, and Mark Carney will be the new Prime Minister.
