President Donald Trump would take the Supreme Court seriously. He would appoint solid judicial conservatives to decide cases in accordance with the Constitution’s original meaning. He would not treat the federal courts frivolously, leveraging his judicial appointment power like a bargaining chip to be swapped for something more important to him. He made his career as a self-promoting dealmaker, but conservatives can trust that the Supreme Court is one of the handful of issues to which Trump is deeply committed. At the very least, conservatives will prevail upon him to keep his word on judicial appointments, despite any instincts he might have to the contrary.

Hezbollah has a nasty collection of more than 130,000 rockets, missiles, and mortars aimed at Israel. This is a bigger arsenal than all NATO countries (except the United States) combined. Why, a reasonable person might wonder, does Hezbollah need an offensive arsenal bigger than that of all Western Europe?

“You don't collect 130,000 missiles if you don't intend to use them," says Matthew Levitt, a counterterrorism expert at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. Hezbollah is a well-funded, violently anti-Israel terrorist organization based in Lebanon and a puppet of the Iranian regime.
