This morning, however, the Presidential Commission on the U.S. Supreme Court holds a virtual hearing. We preview some of the testimony and public comments. A new Consovoy McCarthy counsel is tapped for an argument next term. And Justice Breyer’s “first friend,” Ken Feinber, offers some thoughts on the justice. Thanks for reading and your feedback is welcome and appreciated. Contact Marcia Coyle at [email protected] and follow her on Twitter @MarciaCoyle.
