I am in transit and cannot write more than a quick commentary, but I want to call people’s attention to some commentary on Forbes magazine’s website: www.forbes.com/…

He writes about the qualities a good justice should have. From the tenor of the article, the punchline isn’t unexpected, but here is an excerpt from Victor Lipman’s article on judicial temperament.

At the end of the day good leadership is about temperament. Having the kind of calm demeanor and even temperament that enables one to make sound thoughtful decisions under pressure. Not decisions that are reflexive, impulsive, angry or politically driven.

. . .

Well, cheer up, the good news at least is I think we found someone today with the right temperament to make a fine Supreme Court Justice.

Her name is Christine Blasey Ford.

Mostly, I use Chrome as my browser, but reading this site on it was causing a great deal of eyestrain. I tried using Firefox and MS Edge and found significant improvements over Chrome. Both made the default grey just enough darker to be more readable, and the line spacing did not seem as spread out. MS Edge had a slight edge (sorry) over Firefox because there seemed to be a bit less superfluous white space in the body of the text.

One other modification I made in all 3 browsers was that I un-maximized the browser window and made it much narrower. This eliminated almost all of the excess white space on the left and right margins. It’s as if DK5 is meant to be read in portrait rather than landscape orientation. I suppose this was done to facilitate reading on mobile devices and tablets.

I would still prefer that the text be a shade darker grey, but the changes I made will allow me to keep reading DK without getting a headache.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement has granted a work permit and 1 year stay of removal to Ruiz, who had been living in a Tucson church for sanctuary. Most importantly this means that he can rejoin his family at their home. More information can be found here. We all hope that this means that Ruiz is on a path to permanent residency.

This isn't really a diary, but just a way to have some more fun with the Binders Full of Women theme. See beyond the skewered orange peel.
