The embodiment of American conservative thought and jurisprudence, Antonin Scalia

From the chief Washington correspondent for the New York Times, a richly detailed, news-breaking look at the unprecedented political fight over Antonin Scalia's Supreme Court vacancy and the seemingly irreversible dysfunction it triggered across all three branches in the nation's capital, ultimately delivering us Trump, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh--updated with a new preface.

The embodiment of American conservative thought and jurisprudence, Antonin Scalia cast an expansive shadow over the Supreme Court for three decades. His death at a Texas hunting resort in February 2016 created a dilemma for Republican leadership faced with the prospect of yet another Obama Supreme Court nominee, this time one who could tip the ideological balance of the court and alter the course of American history.

In Confirmation Bias, Carl Hulse tells an exclusive account of the rush of events following Scalia's death, including Mitch McConnell's extraordinary snap decision to deny President Obama's nominee so much as a hearing, let alone a vote. The author recounts the unsuccessful Democratic effort to break the Republican blockade on behalf of Merrick Garland, a failure that allowed Donald Trump to exploit the vacancy to entice evangelicals and other leery Republicans to rally support and deliver him the presidency.

Newly empowered, Trump and his White House counsel Donald F. McGahn II moved quickly to install Neil Gorsuch on the court. The plan from the start was to have a second judge with a Republican pedigree--Brett Kavanaugh--join Gorsuch at the first opportunity in order to cement a majority conservative bloc. Aided by McConnell and the willingness of Republicans to bend Senate practices, the new administration set out to remake not only the Supreme Court, but the lower courts as well, further roiling the Senate and threatening public confidence in the federal judiciary.

With unrivaled access to figures on both sides of the aisle, Hulse revisits the judicial wars of the past twenty years to show how those conflicts have led to our current polarization and resulted in not one but two Trump-nominated conservative justices who could be serving for decades. Confirmation Bias is a prodigious look inside the bitter judicial politics that have torn apart the Senate and transformed the modern Supreme Court from an institution that is supposed to rise above partisanship into one that is increasingly an extension of it.

History will show, argues Hulse, that Scalia's death and the ugly battles fought in its wake represent an inflection point in American politics, changing the trajectory of three vital arms of our government--the Senate, the presidency, and the Supreme Court--in ways McConnell could not have envisioned that night in 2016.--New York Times Book Review

So Bad
Size: Medium/Large, Product Packaging: Standard Packaging, Size: Medium/Large, Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
Had high hopes for this toy as Kong is fantastic with aggressive chewers as or Lulu is. This toy didn't last 30 minutes before she was able to tear it apart. The rubber and plastic are not of the same quality on nearly all there other toys she has. Have found better toys for half the cost. Kong needs to do better.

Very cute, good quality
Style: Lambchop, Size: 10", Style: Lambchop, Size: 10"
Our Two year-old Great Pyrenees rescue loves her Lambchop. She’s fairly gentle with it, but it did accidentally rip so we had replace it since she loves it so much. No fault of the product. The product is very well made, She just got a little rough with it.

We <3 big lambchops
Style: White, Size: 24" Jumbo, Style: White, Size: 24" Jumbo
These are my vizsla's absolute FAVORITE toy. I mean, she doesn't leave the room without bringing at least one. We've bought several of these exact toys now and they're surprisingly durable- we've even put a few through the laundry. She loves to snuggle, nibble, and carry this toy like a security blanket. These are the big ones, so they get a little discolored from her grabbing them around the belly. The squeakers are pretty few and far between so it's generally not noisy unless she's super bored or excited. Get it, your dog will love it and they're cheaper than some of the small ones.

A Classic Toy My Dog Can’t Get Enough Of!
Style: Blue Birthday Hat, Size: 10.5"
The Multipet Lamb Chop Dog Plush Toy (10.5”, Cream) is an absolute winner in our house! This adorable, nostalgic plush is just as cute as it is entertaining, and my dog fell in love with it the moment it came out of the package. Super Soft & Cuddly The material is extra plush and velvety, making it perfect for dogs who love to snuggle. It feels well-made and not scratchy like some cheaper toys. Squeakers That Keep Dogs Engaged There are multiple squeakers inside, and they’re loud enough to keep your dog excited but not obnoxious. My pup carries it around proudly and squeaks it nonstop. Great Size The 10.5” size is ideal for both small and medium to large dogs. Big enough to cuddle, small enough to toss around easily. Durable for a Plush Toy While it’s not built for heavy destroyers (no plush toy truly is), it holds up surprisingly well to daily play and lots of shaking. Overall: The Multipet Lamb Chop is a fantastic combo of cuddly plush and squeaky fun. Perfect for fetch, snuggles, or as your dog’s new favorite companion. If your dog enjoys plush toys, this is definitely one to grab. Highly recommended! 🐑🐶💛
