Christian Faith An Important Part Of Who Senator Pretends To Be
WASHINGTON—Stressing that the facade informs nearly every aspect of his daily life, Sen.

Oh good. I was starting to worry that 2025 wasn't nearly shitty enough. Clearly, what we needed was a dramatic escalation of tensions between nuclear-armed rivals.
India has launched strikes in several parts of Pakistan and Pakistan-controlled territory, in a dramatic escalation of tensions between the two nuclear-armed rivals.

While Clement has argued some problematic substantive positions, there's no denying he's a fucking rockstar of an appellate lawyer in terms of skill. I'm thrilled to see he's on the right side of the v for this.
Conservative superlawyer Paul Clement joins yet another case challenging the Trump administration. This time he's representing Judge Hannah Dugan, who was was arrested after the FBI said she tried to shield an illegal immigrant from arrest.
