The Supreme Court will allow President Trump to continue to build the White House Ballroom. Denying claims by some who wanted to stop construction. Would be interesting to see if any of these groups also donated to the Obama not a library or were able to take tax deductions on their tantrum.

- Jonathan Turley: Clyburn calls for packing the court with "bakers dozen" to flip cases.

Today is August 31st and tomorrow is the start of September. Where did the summer go? Seemed just yesterday I was debating whether to get a season pass to the beach and now I'm wondering if we still have another beach day or two left before it's too cold. Summer stands still for no man.

Today is cut down day in the NFL so don't be surprised to see a flurry of mostly 7th round draft picks traded for players as teams think "Better to get something in return for a player than nothing when he's cut." Don't get too excited by these trades as they're done mostly to build either depth or the practice squad.

John Quincy Adams was elected, thirteen states to eleven. Adams had picked up all six states that had not been initially committed and became the first minority president in the nation's history.
...When Adams did appoint Clay to the state department, Jackson's supporters were predictably furious. John Randolph called it a corrupt bargain: 'the combination of the puritan with the blackleg.' Clay challenged Randolph to a duel. Both fired at each other, and fortunately both missed. Such was the presidential transition of 1825." - John Marshall: Definer of a Nation
And we think politics is divisive today!
