ANDREW KOLVET: I spent eight years beside Charlie Kirk. Here’s what the world never understood
I first met Charlie Kirk in a hotel lobby in Los Angeles in 2017. I had emailed him a few times suggesting we should work together, and he mostly brushed me off or ignored the inquiries.

In 1863, as the Civil War raged and its result was not yet certain, Congress for the first time raised the number of justices on the Supreme Court to 10. The Tenth Circuit Act was approved on March 3, 1863. This was done in large part to allow Abraham Lincoln to nominate a strong Unionist justice to the Court, Stephen J. Field, on March 6, 1863. Field was confirmed on March 10, after Congress created a new Supreme Court seat.Three years later, after the Union’s triumph in the war, the assassinat...
