Frank Eathorne on January 6.

Well worth looking at.

This pretty much conclusively proves that Eathorne was present during the insurrection, contrary to his earlier denials. And yet he found a reason to deny being there.

Not breaking in, mind you, but present while things were going on.

My predications are that it will make no difference whatsoever to his position in the local GOP. And that may be the biggest story in relation to this that there is.

And so, Laramie and Natrona Counties, the two most populous ones in the state, have had their representation in the state's largest party reduced to rump status. Contrary to at least tradition, the head of the party is taking sides on behalf of a primary challenger over a party incumbent. The same individual has indicated that the state party doesn't necessarily feature a big tent anymore. One longstanding conservative has been censured by his county organization.

This definitely isn't your father's GOP. Or Reagan's. Or Buckley's.

Update:

This story is now in the Trib, on the front page.

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!
