Editorial cartoons by Pat Bagley and John Darkow. The forecast for Saturday is 70 degrees and partly sunny and pleasant. Enjoy it! Meanwhile, in Washington, the Guardian reports that Democrats have condemned US Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts’ refusal to testify over ethics allegations raised about Justices Neil Gorsuch and Clarence Thomas. In addition, Insider reported that Jane Roberts, the wife of the Chief Justice, made more than $10 million in commissions over eight years by matching top lawyers with elite law firms — including some that had cases before the Supreme Court — as concerns grow about justices possibly having unreported conflicts of interest.

Caesar's Wife: From left to right, Supreme Court Justices Gorsuch, Roberts, and Thomas stand with extra shoes coming out from under their robes: Land sale, Wife's $10 million, and Harlan Crow. "Do we look like we know anything about the law?"
