The Associated Press: Supreme Court Moves Right, But How Far, How Fast? The moment conservatives have dreamed about for decades has arrived with Brett Kavanaugh joining the Supreme Court. But with it comes the shadow of a bitter confirmation fight that is likely to hang over the court as it takes on divisive issues, especially those dealing with politics and women’s rights. With Kavanaugh taking the place of the more moderate Anthony Kennedy, conservatives should have a working majority of five justices to restrict abortion rights, limit the use of race in college admissions and rein in federal regulators.

Sure. Let me start with the Display guidance. Fundamentally, what drives the glass market and Display, of course, is screen size. And in 2018, screen size drove the market growth to the mid-single digits, and that’s what we expect to happen again. Now, we also were benefited a little bit in 2018 where the number of TV units went up, but that’s still — what really matters here is the screen size growth. As we go into 2019, we again think the market’s going to grow about the mid-single digits, and what’s driving that is the screen size growth. Now, most people looking at the market think that TV units themselves are going to be flat to down a little bit, a lot of that being driven in China. And we factored that into our projections. But what really drives the market is the screen size growth, and we expect it, once again, to be in about the mid-single digits. Now, we’ll grow faster than that because of the Gen 10.5 ramp. But generally speaking, it’s about the mid-single digits.
