Good morning from Washington, where the left wants to treat children as if they had adult susceptibility to COVID-19. That’s not ethical, a longtime pediatrician writes. In defending President Biden’s Supreme Court nominee, John Malcolm argues, Democrats want Americans to forget they’ve opposed female and minority judicial candidates. On the podcast, a D.C. pub owner describes his fight to reopen after running afoul of COVID-19 mandates. Plus: Richard Reinsch on one man’s lasting indictment of communism, and Nicole Russell on the shameful ideology behind a failed abortion bill. On this date in 1965, Alabama state troopers and sheriff’s deputies beat dozens of civil rights demonstrators with clubs and bullwhips, including future congressman John Lewis, bringing a bloody end to their march from Selma to Montgomery.
