Gorsuch says he’ll repeal and replace the Fourth Amendment with something terrific
As a presidential candidate, Donald Trump offered a vague promise to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act with “something terrific.” On Friday, Neil Gorsuch, who occupies the seat on the Supreme Court that Senate Republicans held open until Trump could fill it, brought a similar amount of thoughtfulness and coherence to the question of when police should be allowed to conduct a search without a warrant. Gorsuch’s dissenting opinion in Carpenter v. United States is an odd piece of writing. It reads less like a judicial opinion and more like the sort of essay that an overworked law professor might toss off after they suddenly realize that they have a symposium paper due at the end of the week. After lecturing his colleagues for 20 pages about how he has uncovered a way of interpreting the Fourth Amendment that is more “tied to the law” than the last half-century of Supreme Court opinions on this subject, Gorsuch outright refuses to apply this mysterious new interpretation to the case at hand.

Red Hen eateries feel the heat after Sarah Sanders booted from Virginia restaurant with same name
Michael Friedman never imagined that naming his restaurant The Red Hen would be so controversial. But when the co-owner of another restaurant named The Red Hen - this one almost 200 miles away in Lexington, Va. - refused to serve White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders on Friday night, it was open season on any eatery with Hen in its name. “It was a bit of an interesting day yesterday,” Friedman told Fox News. “There were so many negative comments floating in on social media and people calling up my restaurants to threaten us.” The foul play began when Sanders tweeted that she was told by the owner of the Red Hen in Lexington, Va., that she had to "leave because I work for @POTUS and I politely

Business ForbesI Asked One Question -- And The Interview Was Over
Dear Liz, I had a job interview two weeks ago. I was interviewing for an Administrative Assistant job. I hit it off with the woman who was interviewing me. She's a lawyer. She's looking for someone to run her front office. I haven't worked for a lawyer before but I know I can pick it up. The lawyer asked me, "Do you have any more questions for me?" and I said, "Yes, I have one. Is this the kind of job where you leave the office and that's it, you're done, or is it the kind of job where you take it home mentally and think things over and make plans while you're at home? I ask because I have a lot going on in my personal life and if you need someone who's going to have their mind on your business
