I actually got to correspond with Mr. Barnes earlier this year.
He was commenting on Judge Barrett, prior to her confirmation. Let's just say: He's not her biggest fan. I politely said I was unfamiliar with the issues he raised, and would appreciate some background information. He politely supplied his sources and answered my questions.
I feel like that's the closest I've ever come to meeting a celebrity! 🤗
By the way, he does a lot of legal commentary with a Canadian lawyer who goes by the name "Viva Frei." If you are into law porn, check out his channel.
