A Carencro native has made history at Tulane Law School, becoming the first Black editor-in-chief of the Tulane Law Review.
Tulane Law student Antonio Milton, who is in his second year at law school, took on the role this week. The Law Review is in its 105th year and is considered among the most respected of legal journals in the U.S
The review was started in 1916 and Milton says his appointment to the position is a unique moment in history. I hope to lead the organization through what s been called a movement and not just a moment in time, Milton said. Especially in the moment of Black History Month of this year.

It s not the first time the media has been accused of bias or been too slow to see something for what it is instead of what they want it to be.
Also this hour: Five members of former President Trump s impeachment team departed Saturday, a little over a week before the Senate trial is set to begin on February 9. On Sunday, Trump hired lawyers David Schoen and Bruce L. Castor Jr. to take over. Will they be ready by next week?

After receiving a shot of the coronavirus vaccine, a dose of growing immunity isn t the only thing recipients leave with. They also get a small white card with their name, date of birth, the type of vaccine received and the date to return for the second dose.
It s unclear how the cards will be used beyond serving as a reminder to return for the second dose. But as more people get inoculated, perhaps it s not hard to imagine a world in which that white card would need to be flashed to board an airplane, enter another country and even go to work or school.

It looks like President
Donald Trump is on track to make history as the only American president to be impeached twice. Unlike the perfect-phone-call impeachment, this would-be sequel has a much straighter shot to conviction.
Things moving quickly in House on impeachment. Dems eyeing an impeachment vote as soon as mid-week next week. Pelosi and leadership team discussed last night, full caucus today. Senate can run out clock even though McConnell-Trump haven’t spoken in weeks https://t.co/7fAnHFkuJW
