Fred, I’m seeing a lot of references to a line in Tuesday’s ruling that the House Select Committee is entitled to records that Trump would prefer to be privileged:  “But Presidents are not kings, and Plaintiff is not President.”  See https://int.nyt.com/data/documenttools/chutkan-trump-nara/4fb1c64c09b2e50a/full.pdf.

It's getting to be that time of year again. In the next five or so weeks I have to finalize my list of the 10 most notable quotations of the year, disseminated by the Associated Press, and would welcome suggestions. The criteria are quotations that are famous, or important, or particularly revealing of the spirit of our times. Invariably many of the quotes are political in nature, but I do very much want some nonpolitical quotes from fields such as popular culture, sports, business, science, etc. I also would like to have some foolish quotes from Democrats to give the list some balance.

Note that quotations from December 2020 may be eligible. Internet memes can be considered if they are very popular.
