Jimmy Carter turns 100 today. During his single term, he actively remade the federal judiciary by increasing its diversity. It’s a part of his legacy that has received comparatively less attention, but with enormous ramifications. thehill.com/opinion/judi...
Thanks to Jimmy Carter, America’s courts look more like America
Carter did more to reshape the nature and direction of our federal courts than almost any democratic president before or since.

NOK 12.5 per kilogram over 500 kilograms. EV lobby groups and big car companies that have been aggressively bloating EV models for years are *very* pissed off about it.
