Kerry, the Jerusalem passport case.
Commentary on Glossip v. Gross, the challenge to Oklahoma’s lethal injection protocol in which the Court heard oral arguments on Wednesday, comes from Jesse Wegman in an op-ed for The New York Times and from the editorial board of The Wall Street Journal.
Briefly:
