I write to report despicable TCU fan behavior I witnessed at the TCU-SMU game last Saturday. My family and I sat near a large group of TCU students, male and female. A number appeared to be inebriated. Some were sporting Greek insignia. All appeared to be spoiled children of material privilege. We were seated near SMU students of like description. Throughout the game, there was trash talking between the two obnoxious student groups.

On Monday, the confirmation hearings for John Roberts began.

Roberts is relatively young and has far less experience compared to the team of well-seasoned justices that he would be leading.

O'Connor, has put off her retirement due to the recent events.
