I'm assuming 'end of this week' is today(?) ‘Unprecedented’ Trump 14th Amendment trial in Colorado comes to a close A trial in a landmark case seeking to bar former President Donald Trump from Colorado’s ballot concluded on Wednesday with closing arguments from Trump’s legal team, the Colorado Republican Party, the state’s top elections official and the plaintiffs who say a Civil War-era constitutional amendment makes the 2024 GOP frontrunner ineligible to hold office again. ... Judge Sarah B. Wallace is expected to issue a ruling on the case by the end of this week. Similar challenges to Trump’s ballot eligibility have stalled in states including Minnesota and Michigan, but Colorado has been widely viewed as a more favorable venue for the plaintiffs due to the state’s election laws and existing court precedent. Regardless of the outcome, the Colorado case and other 14th Amendment challenges are likely to be appealed to higher courts, potentially as far as the U.S. Supreme Court, where conservatives hold a 6-3 majority. https://coloradonewsline.com/2023/11/16/trump-14th-amendment-trial-colorado/

The airline experience has become miserable

I landed in LAX last Thursday at noon. When I got to the car rental island & got on the Enterprise bus, it must have taken us 45-50 minutes to get to the lot. I've never seen the airport that crowded at noon during the week. I used to land LAX at noon on Monday's every week for 6 months & never saw crowds like I saw last week. -

Quick trip report: Flew Breeze Airways last Thursday direct to LAX - arrived 12PM. Flight left RVA on-time & arrived LAX on-time. Wifi was available the entire flight (5hrs 35minutes). I had a 1st class ticket - 1st class is 3 rows with 2 seats on each side, seats had plenty of legroom with footrest & decent recline. The rest of the plane has 3 seats on each side. You get 2 alcoholic drinks & a bag of chips/popcorn/breakfast bar in first class. That's it. Everything else you have to pay by credit card. Flight arrives LAX in Terminal 2. You need to take a shuttle back to Terminal 1. Departure from LAX on Sunday 12:50PM - took the shuttle from Terminal 1 (after TSA) to Terminal 2. TSA lines were small so I was through pretty quick. Shuttle bus to Terminal 2 takes about 10 minutes. Arrival at Terminal 2 take the escalator upstairs. Once upstairs you will see food places. Not gonna list them because it appears they change on the regular. The info on the LAX website is wrong. This are is the only area that has food & drink. I'd say there are 4-5 places to eat. I had ramen at one of the places - good but pricey (typical airport prices). Flight home took 5 hours & we were delayed about 15 minutes so we were late arriving RVA. No wifi on the return trip. My understanding is they are in the process of putting wifi in all of the jets. Same type of plane on the return flight. I will definitely fly these guys again. Very good experience except for the missing wifi on the return. But, that allowed me to miss watching the 'manders loss to SEA.
