It's a tradition known as a "death gratuity" that's been in place for at least 140 years. They were also handing over $174,000 to Katherine Feinstein, the daughter of the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein. But Katherine Feinstein, a former judge in San Francisco and the only child of the recently-deceased California Democrat, almost certainly does not need that money. AdvertisementIn 2021, NTUF calculated that gratuity payments have cost taxpayers more than $5.1 million since 2000. AdvertisementBusiness Insider reached out to Katherine Feinstein via her lawyers but did not receive a response.

☆ Opinion: Biden has a Kennedy problem
  + stars: | 2023-07-07 | by ( Julian Zelizer | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +6 min
CNN —President Joe Biden might have a Kennedy problem. There are many reasons Kennedy might cause trouble for Biden. At the end of last year, Biden switched the Democratic primary schedule to put South Carolina first. As a result, Biden might not even appear on the New Hampshire ballot, effectively ceding the state to Kennedy and author and speaker Marianne Williamson. Many of Biden’s 2020 supporters are frustrated with the president, and any attacks Kennedy will unleash could damage Biden and provide a foundation for Republicans to go after him in the campaign.

☆ Opinion: Why Biden has little 2024 Democratic opposition

CNN —President Joe Biden was the toast of Ireland last week, as he was treated to a hero’s welcome in a pageant-laden return to his ancestral home. Biden, who is expected to formalize his plans next week, has a significant body of achievements on which to run. So is the absence of a real primary challenge simply the luck of the Irish? Perhaps with that primary battle in mind, Biden has worked assiduously to court the progressive wing of the party, from which such Democratic primary challenges generally arise. Finally, there is former President Donald Trump, whose candidacy is a boost to Biden among Democrats.

Justice Samuel Alito once told the late Sen. Ted Kennedy that he respected Roe v. Wade's precedent. The NY Times previewed portions of Kennedy's journal in "Ted Kennedy: A Life" by John A. Farrell. Despite assurances from Alito, Kennedy was unconvinced and voted against his confirmation. The June decision overturned Roe v. Wade and made clear that Alito had long been a critic of the case. Long-held precedent, Alito wrote "does not compel unending adherence to Roe's abuse of judicial authorities.
