In photos: Remembering Sandra Day O’Connor, the first woman to serve as justice on the Supreme Court
Photography By Washington Post Staff | Dec 1, 2023 Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, who was known for her meticulous independence from ideology on a Supreme Court bench with more than its share of ideologues. And, her desire to avoid “giant steps you’ll live to regret” that made her the swing vote in countless closely divided and politically charged cases, died on Friday at 93.
Kagan hopes Supreme Court’s ideological divide on precedent isn’t permanent
The justice said it would be 'a good thing' for the court to adopt an ethics code. “To be completely honest, it has to be said that some of the more important cases do fall along pretty predictable lines,” Justice Elena Kagan said. | J. Scott Applewhite/AP Photo By 09/22/2023 06:02 PM EDT Link Copied Justice Elena Kagan said Friday that she hopes the ideological divide the Supreme Court has displayed recently about the value of its own precedents won’t turn out to be a long-term phenomenon.

AP photographers paint definitive portrait of epic, historic vote for…
Led by Andrew Harnik’s capture of a confrontation, AP photographers expertly rendered the Shakespearean drama that was the days-long House speaker vote. Some likened it to a Renaissance painting – and it certainly belongs in a museum. We’re talking, of course, about Andrew Harnik’s indelible images of a tussle in Congress as a historic House speaker vote threatened to stretch into another week.
Gorbachev’s legacy and Putin’s war
"I like Mr. Gorbachev," British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher said in 1984. "We can do business together." Many Westerners shared the sentiment, including, most consequentially, Thatcher's iron-willed contemporary, former President Ronald Reagan. Along with his vice president and eventual successor, George H.W. Bush, Reagan did business with former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev on arms control and other issues that cooled, and eventually ended, the Cold War.

A ‘sucker punch’: Some women fear setback to hard-won rights

Tuesday night marked the Trump White House’s first state dinner. Donald and Melania Trump welcomed Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron of France for the decades-long tradition, with Melania Trump wearing a gown from the most iconic French luxury house, Chanel. In the past, First Ladies, especially Trump’s predecessor Michelle Obama, have honored the visiting country by wearing one of its own designers, and Trump is keeping up the tradition.
Trump Is One Bad Day Away from Tweeting “I’ve Had Three Times as Many Wives as Obama!”
Something you may have picked up on over the last, oh, seven years, is that Donald Trump is completely obsessed with Barack Obama. Unable to accept the fact that the 44th president is superior to him in every conceivable way, Trump has devoted an inordinate amount of time and energy attempting to prop himself up at his predecessor’s expense, in every category you can think of, and a lot you cannot because, well, you’ve got day jobs.

Could a Green Dress Signal Melania Trump’s Evolving Use of Fashion Diplomacy?
Could it be that Melania Trump is coming around to fashion diplomacy?

Hillary Clinton Wears Symbolic White to Donald Trump’s Inauguration
Even after 2016's contentious election, former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton showed support for the peaceful transition of power by attending former opponent Donald Trump’s inauguration on January 20.

Melania Trump Wears Dress by Immigrant Designer as Fashion Diplomacy Efforts Continue
Melania Trump continued her foray into fashion diplomacy Thursday night when she wore a Reem Acra gown to a dinner at Washington’s Union Station. As the incoming First Lady navigates her way into the role, she has thus far tread carefully with her sartorial choices. Acra, who was born in Beirut, Lebanon, and is now New York–based, still maintains a home in the city of her birth. In May 2013, she said, “[M]y heart is here in the region,” when referring to Beirut.

Michelle Obama Reveals How She Spent Election Night

Michelle Obama’s Latest Gucci Dress May Have an Underlying Message
As the Obamas’ time in the White House draws to a close, all eyes are narrowing in on the last few official events the President and First Lady will attend. Last night was their final Kennedy Center Honors, and while Michelle Obama always commands attention for her sartorial choices, her pink-and-green custom Gucci gown stuck out for a special reason. As The New York Times’s Vanessa Friedman pointed out, it was the first time Obama wore a non-American designer to the ceremony.
How the Challenge to Legislative Redistricting in Evenwel v. Abbot Backfired
If the Supreme Court were a stock market, the last few years have been as a bull market in conservative constitutional theories. With a tenuous but real 5-4 conservative majority in place, advocacy groups raced to get their pet theories before the Court. In some cases—campaign finance and gun rights, for example—the race paid off, producing 5-4 wins for radical shifts of doctrine. In others (think about public-employee unions) it has not. Bull markets tempt investors into unwise wagers.
