The storm’s track yo-yoed back and forth during the weekend and into Monday, swing- ing wildly from potential landfall in Mobile, to the Destin/Fort Walton Beach area, to Panama City, then back west again. In the end, the storm would end its long, meandering trek through the Gulf of Mexico in the Laguna Beach neighborhood either ahead of or behind sched- ule, depending on who you asked.

To Melania — Prologue — Just Another Lunch “Grab ’em by the pussy.” The sentence that reverberated around the world on October 7, 2016. The quote was an excerpt from a recording that became forever known as “the Access Hollywood tape,” published by the Washington Post and aired on NBC News, a month before the 2016 presidential election. It had been recorded eleven years earlier, in September 2005, on a bus taking Donald Trump to make a cameo on the NBC soap opera Days of Our Lives. Now infamously, Donald told TV host Billy Bush, “I’m automatically attracted to beautiful. I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab ’em by the pussy.” When the story broke about the tape I was deeply immersed in my oldest son, Zach’s, health problems related to his life-threatening food allergies and other issues that required many doctor’s visits and therapies. My middle son, Tyler, was transferring to a new school, and my daughter, Alexi, was adjusting to hers.

  • The Courts, Congress, and the Politics of Federal Jurisdiction
    THE COURTS, CONGRESS, AND THE POLITICS OF FEDERAL JURISDICTION DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Brett W. Curry, B.A., M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved By: Professor Lawrence Baum, Adviser Professor Elliot Slotnick _________________________________ Professor Herbert Weisberg Adviser Political Science Graduate Program Copyright by Brett William Curry 2005 ABSTRACT Although the institutional relationship between the federal courts and Congress has been the subject of substantial empirical research, scholars know relatively little about the specific role that jurisdiction plays in structuring that relationship. Most prior scholarship on the courts and Congress has focused on ways in which Congress has attempted to use its influence over court structure and judicial personnel to impact the federal courts. However, Congress’s ability to expand or limit the types of cases eligible for federal court review has received much less attention. By analyzing congressional efforts to limit federal jurisdiction in two major areas of law, this dissertation sheds new light on jurisdiction’s role in the relationship between these governmental branches and, more generally, the degree of autonomy from congressional oversight that the federal judiciary possesses. The dissertation’s assessment of this jurisdictional activity begins with a technical area of federal statutory jurisdiction known as
