I already wrote one blog today on this subject and I'll probably write another, but I don't feel the need to do so now. Instead, I'll talk about the creative process. I sketched out the idea of this last January. It was picked over for something else I really liked which I can't remember now,... Continue Reading →

Here’s your cartoon for this week’s CNN Opinion newsletter. Please sign up to get these in your inbox every Sunday. My editor called me Friday afternoon after I sent the rough of this cartoon and said I was banned from the CNN Opinion newsletter for ten years because I had sent him a drawing of a naked...

Justice Jackson
by a 53-47 vote, The United States Senate confirmed Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court yesterday, making her the first black woman in history to be on the court. Three Republicans, Mitt Romney, Susan Collins, and Lisa Murkowski joined every Democrat in voting for her. There should have been more Republicans voting for... Continue Reading →
Ginni’s Disappointing Hole
When the Supreme Court rejected Donald Trump's efforts to block the National Archives from giving documents from his presidency (sic) to the January 6 committee investigating the attack on the Capitol building, only one justice dissented. I'll give you one guess who that justice was. In the weeks between the 2020 presidential election, won by... Continue Reading →
Talking To Ketanji
I do not expect Ketanji Brown Jackson to get a fair hearing from Republicans today. If they take their cues from Tucker Carlson, they'll all demand to see her LSAT scores, something they didn't request from Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, or Amy Coney Barrett. Republicans are seeking reasons to oppose confirming Jackson other than they... Continue Reading →
Picky For Putin
Like the United States, Russia has a Supreme Court with justices nominated by the president. Unlike in the United States, Russia's court system is not independent. In the United States, there are three branches of government. In case you're a Republican, like Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville, those branches are congress, courts, and the presidency. They...

Ginni
Kids, I'm in the Denver airport and it's 5 AM. The coffee places are just now opening and they're calling to me. I'm also super sleepy, so you're not going to get a blog for this until later. Probably much later. Sorry. I'm on the move. For now, someone else write the blog for me... Continue Reading →
Cruzin’ Into A Flytrap
As I prepare to write this blog, I did a news search on Google for "Ted Cruz," and there's a brand new Cruz controversy since he made his stupid racist statement about Biden nominating a black woman to the Supreme Court. Take a day off, Ted. Last year during a winter freeze that froze Texas,... Continue Reading →
Color GOP Sexy
Republicans are having racist conniption fits over President Joe Biden's pledge to nominate a black woman to fill the vacancy left on the Supreme Court by Justice Stephen Breyer's retirement. They're trying to mask their opposition to Biden's promise by claiming it's about choosing the most qualified person to sit on the highest court in... Continue Reading →
Breyer Retires
President Joe Biden gets a Supreme Court pick and there's very little Republicans can do to stop it. Justice Stephen Breyer is retiring and he's picked the right time to do it because by this time next year, Republicans may control the Senate again, and despite there being two years left in President Biden's term,...
