How ACB Can Honor RBG’s Legacy
Barrett could ensure that the admirable ideal that animated Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s career—equality before the law regardless of sex—is more and more fully realized.
In Preemptive Defense of Future Justice Barrett
Democrats will be desperate to throw everything they can at the Senate’s walls to see what sticks in a mad rush to stop Judge Barrett from ascending to the highest court in the land. Happily, none of it will work, nor should it.
Segregation Makes a Comeback
If we cannot rally around equality before the law and within our institutions, and embrace color blindness within our own hearts, then we will not survive as a nation.

Notre Dame President Apologizes for Lou Holtz, Embarrasses University
Fr. Jenkins thinks his position as Notre Dame’s president means people are dying to hear from him. Truthfully, we aren’t. Not if he’s going to sound like an excuse-making infanticide cheerleader.
Hawley Is Right to Demand Supreme Court Nominees Explicitly Oppose Roe
To delay any longer skewering Roe, even as we cower behind talk of “methods,” “process,” and “umpires,” is to commit voluntarily to play judicial politics with one hand tied behind our back. It’s foolish behavior that needs to end.

The Pandemic Showcases Courts’ Limitations
Why won’t Michigan’s legislature—the political branch that most represents Michiganders—embrace its role in the state’s constitutional system?

Fusionists Are the Japanese Holdouts of American Politics
The fusionists won their war—the Cold War—which is an outcome for which we should all be thankful. But their time has passed, and if we remain tied to them through political nostalgia in the face of mountains of evidence that their ideology isn’t up to the challenges of the present age, we’ll lose the cold civil war facing us today.
Answering the Left’s Campaign to Delegitimize the Courts
