Mike's Blog Round Up
June 13, 2019

Balloon Juice: I was looking for corruption, so I went to Jared.

Blue NC: The water supply in New Hanover County has a GenX problem.

On the Economy: What does May’s disappointing jobs report mean for future wage gains?

Lawyers, Guns and Money: Those pretending the 14th Amendment doesn’t mean what it says deserve derision—and worse.

Speaking of which, your quote of the day:
"My goodness, I thought we've-- we've held that the 14th Amendment protects all races. I mean, that was the argument in the early years, that it protected only the blacks. But I thought we rejected that. You say now that we have to proceed as though its purpose is not to protect whites, only to protect minorities?" (Justice Antonin Scalia, October 15, 2013)
