Column: The Kennedy Center’s orchestra begins its season in the first of a series of new venues. But the festive first night of the season felt a bit like a rebranding. An eager audience immediately stood to greet the now nomadic ensemble.

The day Walter Payton broke the single-game rushing record, he had the flu and played with a 104-degree fever. Before the game, he was on the floor of the locker room, wrapped up in a blanket...shivering. That's the kind of heart we'd better have in 48 days.

I am tired of people saying we can’t win in front of the Supreme Court. I’m annoyed by those who say my firm is too partisan to be effective. Today we won a huge redistricting fight before SCOTUS and a ballot access case before the Nebraska Supreme Court. The lesson: When we fight we win.
