This was not a surprise to anyone who followed me and other actual reporters who know Supreme Court procedure.
The only places it succeeded were to generate donations for Liberty Counsel and to prompt clicks through ragebait headlines from your favorite resistance grifters.
Sorry, it's true.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court DENIES former county clerk Kim Davis's request for the justices to take up her longshot bid to overturn 2015's Obergefell v. Hodges marriage equality decision. No justice even writes about the request.

Sinema never looked awesome. This is a common misconception based on her bisexuality & teenage years in the Green Party. By the time she ran for Senate, she had a well-established record as a firmly center-right legislator. She *did* break bad, but that break happened well before she ran for Senate.

If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.
