Holiday Road

By Anne Skove, Esq.

Pausing to violate the separation of powers here, we understand that a select few of you have the day off on account of President's Day.

We suppose the lack of holidays honoring former Supreme Court Justices could be solved in part by taking time to think about former Chief Justice *and* President William Howard Taft.

Who says the government spends too much money? In 1971, President Nixon consolidated his predecessors' birthdays so that federal employees would only get one day off in February, not two. The ghosts of Lincoln and Washington haunt the White House in protest to this day.

So whether you're out buying a mattress or hard at work as usual, have a good one!
