Courthouses of the West: Jackson Hearing Concludes.

These hearings are now concluded, and Judge Jackson will be confirmed.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell indicated that he would not vote to confirm Judge Jackson. Republican votes are not needed for this, due to the removal of the filibuster provisions for Supreme Court nominations back during the last period in which the Democrats controlled the Senate, so barring something spectacularly bizarre, confirmation is assured.

I'll confess that, as previously noted, unlike the norm, I never got into the confirmation hearings. Usually I do in fact follow them, but I just didn't. I picked up bits and pieces of the news on them, including Ted Cruz reading from a children's book, and a question on if the Judge could define what a woman is, but as the news all came out of context, I frankly haven't paid much attention to it.

Lex Anteinternet?

This blog has been around since 2009. In the very first post, we asked the question: "What the heck is this blog about?"

Our answer to the question was: "The intent of this blog is to try to explore and learn a few things about the practice of law prior to the current era. That is, prior to the internet, prior to easy roads, and the like. How did it work, how regional was it, how did lawyers perceive their roles, and how were they perceived?"

We also noted: "Part of the reason for this, quite frankly, has something to do with minor research for a very slow moving book."

All of this is still true, but the focus of the blog has changed somewhat. It now focuses on the era from 1890 to 1920 in general, rather than on the law and lawyers specifically, although that may be far from obvious. It's also become the location where we comment on anything we feel moved to comment on.

We hope you'll feel moved to comment as well. While we moderate every comment, so as to weed out Spam, we greatly appreciate the comments where they are offered, and hope to see more.

Thank you for stopping in!
