The Father, the Don, and the Fed Chair’s Post Knives out for the banker of Washington and the Bishop of Rome.

On this day in 1873, the Supreme Court held in Bradwell v. Illinois that states could continue to exclude women from the legal profession. Myra Bradwell argued “that woman has a right to think and act as an individual.” The men on the Court disagreed. #WeTheMen

On Tax Day I would like to recognize the norm that real Presidents reveal their taxes and income sources. Guessing the current White House discovered that there was no IRS form able to summarize the graft and emoluments.
