Good morning from Thailand, from the island of Ko Samui.

So what did I see here, at the world’s biggest Seder?

I saw about 2500 Jews, who are very different and distant from each other, yet know that every year in the middle of Nissan the most important thing to do is to sit at the Seder table and repeat the principles of our faith in our own ears, and in the ears of our children.

It amounts to Trump – the leader of the executive branch of government – asking the judicial branch to stop the legislative branch from investigating his past.
To do so, Trump wants the court to negate an idea that has guided Congress for decades: that the legislature’s investigative power isn’t just meant to research possible legislation.
