However, this blog on the controversial Women's March organizer Linda Sarsour appears on the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) website. Sarsour's controversial status is not unwarranted.

President Trump is set to make another crucial judicial appointment.  The Wall Street Journal was the first to report last week that Judge Janice Rogers Brown is stepping down from the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, leaving an open space on the majority-liberal federal court for Trump to fill.  The D.C.
