Thanks for looking this up.

lI earned something new today:

Joseph Story (1811) - 32 years old


On November 15, 1811, Story was nominated by President James Madison to become an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, succeeding William Cushing,[1] who had died 14 months earlier. Aged 32 years, 58 days at the time of his nomination, he became (and, as of 2026, remains) the youngest person nominated to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court.[19]

I think Lee and Cruz established their religion is in a private lane and they know law

Cruz has argued before SCOTUS. Lee is simply brilliant

Tucker wull rally against Cruz all over a derived israel hatred.
