When, if ever, has the Supreme Court held back on announcing a decision that was “ready?”
And has it ever held back announcing a “good” decision until the last day before its summer recess, to end on a high note and steer press and public attention to that perception?
On this date in 1968, Senator Robert F. Kennedy (NY), moments after claiming victory in California's Democratic Party presidential primary, was shot. He died the next day. He was 42 years old.
This was RFK at his home, Hickory Hill, in McLean, Virginia, a month earlier.
People who know (knew) Todd Blanche should be, as public service, talking more about him, his background, and what happened to him.
High admiration for/thanks to Scott Pelley.

Jackson served, as RFK did later, as U.S. Attorney General.
E. Barrett Prettyman, Jr., a great lawyer and person, was an important aide to each of them.
Here's a #JacksonList essay, "At Hickory Hill (June 1968)."
