All right. Hello, Miley. This is Harry Litman of Talking Feds, L.A. Times, and the sort of

nerdy circle of Supreme Court watchers. And here's your day to report. Let me cut to the chase.

It was a really good day for Katanji Brown, Jackson, and the headline is, she is still on a glide path

to confirmation probably after today, even a little bit more downhill. This is the killer marathon

Commission itself says that things are out of whack here because they were originally promulgated

for a pre-internet era. And now the numbers of these are out of control, how people get them,
