When Chief Justice John Roberts delivered the decisive vote in 2012 that upheld Barack Obama’s signature achievement in office, the Affordable Care Act, he reportedly did so following a month-long campaign by fellow conservatives to try to get him to join their side. His decision to side with liberal colleagues inspired ire on the right but it also cemented the chief justice’s role as the leader of his own court. That was then.(Snip)“Roberts is only marginally in charge to the extent that he can bring Kavanaugh or Barrett with him,” said Josh Blackman at the South Texas College of Law Houston. For Blackman, it’s now Clarence Thomas,

Minnetonka Moccasin Co., the Minneapolis company that over 75 years popularized Native American-styled footwear across the country, issued a formal apology Monday for adopting Native American culture without acknowledgment. The company, which dropped "moccasin" from its logo in 2008, has now removed the word from much of its corporate messaging and is calling itself simply Minnetonka.
"Minnetonka deeply and meaningfully apologizes for having benefited from selling Native-inspired designs without directly honoring Native culture or communities," the company said in a statement.
The company said it would work more closely with Native American artists and businesses and continue to contribute to Native American causes. "While our history with appropriation
