When do you believe Brock--then or now? Lying is easy. Recanting is hard. Brock Then was a lone, unverifiable challenge to what Mayer calls "the facts as we always knew them to be." Brock Now provides enough detail to fact-check his current version. Even if that version proves true, Thomas probably broke no law. But nominees for the Supreme Court should meet a higher standard than that...

Bill to study at the Sorbonne. He eliminated his twang in favor of a precise, nearly British cadence, his Lone Star patois giving way to a flash, mockingly hip mixture of jazz lingo, eccentric abbreviations of names (as in "Sam" Beckett and "tip-top Tenn" Williams), the errant French phrase, and the occasional dip backward into down-home aphorisms...
