Meanwhile – In Other News

Today I want to highlight two news stories that are not directly related to American politics.
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 nationโ€™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. ๐ˆ ๐ฌ๐ข๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐š๐ง๐ญ๐ž๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฌ๐ก๐š๐ซ๐ž ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ข๐ง๐œ๐ซ๐ž๐๐ข๐›๐ฅ๐ž, ๐ก๐ž๐š๐ซ๐ญ๐ฐ๐š๐ซ๐ฆ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ฌ๐ญ๐จ๐ซ๐ฒ.
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. ๐ˆ ๐ก๐จ๐ฉ๐ž ๐ก๐ž ๐Ÿ๐ข๐ง๐๐ฌ ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐œ๐œ๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ข๐ง ๐ง๐š๐ฏ๐ข๐ ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐‚๐š๐ง๐š๐๐š ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐”๐ง๐ข๐ญ๐ž๐ ๐’๐ญ๐š๐ญ๐ž๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐ ๐ก ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐œ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ซ๐ž๐ง๐ญ ๐œ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฆ๐š๐ญ๐ž ๐š๐ง๐ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ญ๐ฐ๐จ ๐œ๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐ญ๐ซ๐ข๐ž๐ฌ ๐œ๐š๐ง ๐ฌ๐ญ๐š๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ง๐ข๐ญ๐ž๐ ๐š๐ฌ ๐œ๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐œ๐š๐ฅ ๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐ž๐ฌ.
