You don鈥檛 need a legal expert to tell you that Judge Aileen Cannon鈥檚 decision striking down the appointment of Jack Smith as special counsel to investigate former President Donald Trump is terribly wrong. What鈥檚 less obvious is that Cannon鈥檚 opinion isn鈥檛 just the work of a far-right wingnut. Rather, Cannon鈥檚 decision is a second-rate pastiche of the kinds of decisions the conservative Supreme Court has been issuing as part of its constitutional revolution.

Legendary football coach Monte Kiffin, formerly of Lexington, died recently at 84. He was a year ahead of me in school, but we would often pass each other in the hallways. It wasn鈥檛 until 1957 when Monte starred on the undefeated Lexington High football team that his name came into prominence.
