The details of the dispute over Donald Trump’s campaign aides shooting photos and video in Section 60 of Arlington National Cemetery matter, as I wrote earlier. If they were told that filming in this hallowed area wasn’t allowed — as a U.S. defense official tells The Washington Post they were, more than once — and bulldozed ahead, that would be ...

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Sonia Sotomayor has earned a prominent spot in the nation’s legal pantheon, becoming the nation’s first Latina Supreme Court justice, voting to legalize same-sex marriage and speaking for the nation’s aggrieved liberals in a sharp dissent to the decision overturning Roe v.
