I even opened Pokémon Go inside the Senate chamber one time — we’re not supposed to do that, it’s against Senate rules — but I was curious to see whether there were points to be scored inside the Senate chamber. Nothing. So.

— Senator Mike Lee, the former Justice Alito clerk, who I guess can’t respect any rule he can’t trace to (his interpretation of) the text of the Constitution. He offered his insights on Pokémon — which he doesn’t enjoy — amidst an array of hilarious and glum remarks from the convention floor last night as his friend Ted Cruz failed to catch ’em all — RNC delegates that is. Sen. Lee’s off-hand running commentary of the Donald Trump nomination, including his observations on Breaking Bad and the ridiculous formality of middle initials, are compiled in Jim Newell’s fascinating, I Watched the GOP Nominate Donald Trump With the Saddest Senator in the Arena.
