@charlottebsmith @thetimes I don't know you, but you look great at 58. Surely you exercise and eat right. Aging is not so much fun, in my view, and doesn't look so good, if we don't work at it. At 73, I'm still moving and doing well.

@JCStarbuck3 @tribelaw Don’t forget the Cuyahoga River in Ohio. It was on fire. Anyone recall for how long?

Justice Barrett asks about the impact of EPA’s theory on those who, like her, grew up near Lake Pontchartrain or who, like Justice Thomas, grew up near the Mississippi. Think what that means for the relevance of a Justice’s background to the process of interpreting legal texts.
