What is it you want the reader to feel at the end? How can that be achieved?

You know why I love reading? It’s one of the last true escapes - no ads, no distractions, just pure immersion in a story.

That stare decisis matters. That standing by what’s been decided means your country follows an objective rule of law. And to beware those who undermine such principle.

Circle of Days: Exploring West Woods with Dr Katy Whitaker
YouTube video by Ken Follett Circle of Days: Exploring West Woods with Dr Katy Whitaker

In #CircleOfDays, I reimagine how Stonehenge was built. In real life, I visited West Woods with Dr Katy Whitaker to learn where its great stones came from.

Georgia comes back to beat Ole Miss 43-35. This was one hell of a football game. The announcers are hoarse, the stadium was so loud.
And how about this stat line:
Gunner Stockton 26/31 358 total yards 5 TDs (4 pass, 1 run) 0 INT

Justice Eddins went even further in a concurrence joined by two other justices. He flamed the U.S. Supreme Court for choosing to
"steamroll" the First Amendment's separation of church and state by mandating government support of religion. He wrote:
The federal wall cracks. The Supreme Court's recent religious clause cases wreck the relationship between free exercise and non-establishment.... The Roberts Court casually dismisses the lessons of American and world history, the warnings of prominent early Americans, and the judiciary's storied legal minds. Bad things happen unless government and religion are completely separated.
Justice Eddins also wrote about something you and I have been talking about for a long time, which is the conservative supermajority making up facts. He called out Kennedy v.
Bremerton, the notorious "praying coach" case, writing: "As it often does, the Court repackaged and whitewashed facts to achieve a desired outcome." This is the same point that Sherrilyn Ifill has made on the show about how the record in that case, and so many others, is ignored.

I am pleased to report that Hawaii Supreme Court Justice Todd Eddins has dropped another total evisceration of the Supreme Court.

He says originalism is a fraudβ€”and the Republican justices are shamelessly making up facts and history to impose radical Christian nationalism: slate.com/news-and-pol...

Literary fiction primarily focuses on complex character development and thematic depth, doesn’t it? I think there are now a lot of stories that involve different genres in subplots, but doesn’t the primary focus on character and theme still mark a story distinctly?

Actually it serves as irrefutable fact to anyone toutingβ€˜security guarantees’ that such a provision must have specific teeth. Consequences. Otherwise, they mean nothing.
