After this morning’s Supreme Court argument in the Colorado wedding-cake case, the only thing that safe to predict about this case is that it’ll end up 5-4. It’s perhaps unavoidable that a case so politically fraught would break down on conventional ideological lines, with the four “conservatives” (presumably including the silent Justice Clarence Thomas) siding with the baker who didn’t want to create a custom cake for a same-sex wedding, the four “liberals” siding with the couple that wants to...

The weekend of the third round of the FA Cup is one of the highlights of the footballing calendar and this year’s draw has thrown up a few crackers (and potential banana skins). It appears the magic of the FA Cup is well and truly back and when Arsenal’s name came out of the hat faced with an away trip to Nottingham Forest, it was a draw for the football purists.
