Today at the Editor’s glance: Weather: Sunny. Highs in the lower 80s. West winds 5 to 10 mph. Monday Night: Mostly clear. Lows in the lower 50s. Southwest winds 5 to 10 mph in the evening, becoming light and variable.

In Court: Darius Watts, 17, who was one of three people who took part in a home invasion robbery in Palm Coast’s P Section two years ago, pleads before Circuit Judge Terence Perkins at 1:30 p.m. in Courtroom 401 at the Flagler County courthouse. Melissa Gilham, who faces a third degree felony for allowing her dog in public, without a muzzle, even though it had been declared a dangerous dog, will also tender a plea. The dog bit a child and caused an injury that required several surgeries. Those are among numerous other pleas and sentencings scheduled for today.

The Bunnell City Commission meets at 7 p.m. at the Government Services Building, 1769 East Moody Boulevard, Bunnell. The agenda is very light.

“What is a woman? Jackson shows that a woman is someone who stays cool in the face of calumny and is headed for the Supreme Court. And that will be justice for Justice Jackson. A better question might be: What is a senator? Is it a dolt who cares more about boosting unrealistic presidential ambitions with distorted information than making the Senate, for once, look like a dignified body?”

–From Maureen Dowd’s “Real Justice: Justice Jackson,” The New York Times, March 26, 2022.

Asking tough questions is increasingly met with hostility. The political climate—nationally and right here in Flagler County—is at war with fearless reporting. Officials and powerbrokers often prefer echo chambers to accountability. They want news that flatters, not news that informs. They want stenographers. We give them journalism. You know by now, after 16 years, that FlaglerLive won’t be intimidated. We dig. We don't sanitize to pander or please. We report reality, no matter who it upsets. Even you. But standing up to this kind of pressure requires resources. We need a community that values courage over comfort. Stand with us, and help us hold the line. Fund the journalism they don't want you to read. No paywall. But it's not free. Take a moment, become a champion of enlightening journalism. Any amount helps. We’re a 501(c)(3) non-profit news organization. Donations are tax deductible.

    Oh my gosh, I watched the whole Kavanaugh hearing and I’m losing faith in our Supreme Court system. The Republicans had an expert watch Ms. Ford testify, and it was clear as a bell that Ms. Ford was assaulted by Kavanaugh. During the break, the expert and all the Republicans got up, very quietly, had a meeting where this expert gave them an ear full. They came back in and had come to the conclusion that Ms. Ford had indeed been assaulted, but even though she was an expert on brain function, she simply didn’t know who did the assault. By the way, who goes to an interview, yells at the interviewers and still gets the job?

    President Obama nominates Garland eight months before a new Presidential election, and the Republicans said it was unfair, and too soon. We remember what Lindsay said, right? Then, on her death bed, Justice Ginsberg requests nominations wait until the next election, and we remember what happened next.

    Now, there is a disclosure that Justice Thomas’s wife was pushing for the insurrection. Will Justice Thomas recuse himself? Can you imagine how the Republicans would go bat sh*t crazy if it had been a spouse of, say, Justice Sotomayor?

    I’m not a Democrat, but a life long Independent. McConnell’s life goal is to make the Supreme Court all conservative. The behavior towards Ms. Jackson is off the charts bigoted, and all for show. I just don’t see why the American public wants the Supreme Court to all think the same way. That flies in the face of the three branches of government. I WANT people, judges, to think independently, and differently. That’s democracy. That’s the justice system, or was.
