The Court And Common Sense

May 22, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on The Court And Common Sense

By DONALD DeMARCO Common sense may not be chic in the eyes of the elite, but it provides a solid ground on which edifices can be mounted that will not crumble. We live in an age in which people pride themselves in being “progressive.” But this fashionable term can mean abandoning one’s roots in the interest of achieving something presumably better. Nonetheless, one cannot build a skyscraper without a firm foundation.The late Antonin Scalia (1936-2016), former associate justice of the United States Supreme Court, together with Bryan A. Garner, attend to this problem in their groundbreaking book, Reading Law: The Interpretation of Legal Texts (2012). In the light of the chaos generated by the apparent overturning of Roe v. Wade,…Continue Reading

Are All Court-Created Rights Now In Peril?

May 21, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on Are All Court-Created Rights Now In Peril?

By PATRICK J. BUCHANAN In the storm that erupted over the leaked draft opinion of Justice Samuel Alito, which would overturn Roe v. Wade, a secondary alarm has arisen among our elites.If Roe is overturned, it is said, a whole raft of Supreme Court rulings rooted in the same principles and legal reasoning could be overturned as well.Pillars of our progressive society could come crashing down.In an op-ed in The Washington Post, legal scholars Melissa Murray and Leah Litman wrote that Alito’s draft opinion “declares that the Constitution ‘makes no reference to abortion’ and argues that abortion rights were ‘entirely unknown in American law,’ throughout most of the nation’s history.”Yet, the scholars argue, the same “is true of contraception, which…Continue Reading

May 20, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on For Pro-Life College Students . . . Being Targeted Over Leaked Abortion Opinion Poses Test

By JOE BUKURAS CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Being a pro-life student on most secular campuses was never easy, but it has taken a dramatically more intense turn now that a May 2 draft ruling of the case Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization which suggested that the Supreme Court was poised to overturn Roe v. Wade, has been leaked to the public.In response, angry students have been shown in videos posted online shouting profanities and insults at their pro-life schoolmates.Those same, raw emotions were on display May 4 at Harvard University, one of the world’s premiere academic institutions. That afternoon, about three dozen members of the school’s pro-life group, Harvard Right to Life, were subjected to a slew of insults and…Continue Reading

Deicide: The Ultimate Fraud

May 18, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on Deicide: The Ultimate Fraud

By DEACON JAMES H. TONER “Since these people did not see fit to acknowledge God, He abandoned them to their depraved way of thinking and to all types of vile behavior” (Romans 1:28). + + With broken hearts and with more than a little anger, we survey the Church’s wreckage and chaos, and we ask, lugubriously, why did all this happen, and how did all this happen, and who permitted or caused all this to happen? We send our righteous slings and arrows this way and that, never certain about the chief villain or the primary target.Of course, we know the broad sources of the evil: the world, the flesh, and the Devil. We know that “evil is not an…Continue Reading

May 16, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on U.S. Trade Deficit With Communist China Is Climbing

By TERENCE P. JEFFREY At the White House press briefing last December 6, press secretary Jen Psaki made it clear that President Joe Biden wanted the People’s Republic of China to pay a price for its human rights abuses.He would do so by declining to send any U.S. government officials to the Beijing Winter Olympics, which would be held in February.“The Biden administration,” Psaki said, “will not send any diplomatic or official representation to the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympic Games given the PRC’s ongoing genocide and crimes against humanity in Xinjiang and other human rights abuses.”“U.S. diplomatic or official representation would treat these games as business as usual in the face of the PRC’s egregious human rights abuses…Continue Reading

The Narrow Gate

May 15, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on The Narrow Gate

By DONALD DeMARCO In Matt. 7:13-14, Christ tells us something we need to know but are reluctant to accept: “Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is easy, tt leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard, that leads to life, and those who find it are few.”The word “narrow” does not set well with secular thinking. Nor does it welcome anything that is “hard.” To be narrow-minded is a secular sin. And living on easy street is, for many, a cherished ambition. The world is in love with things that are “broad,” “open,” and “inclusive.” It also reveres the unencumbered…Continue Reading

Alito 5 Must Stay The Course

May 14, 2022 Featured Today Comments Off on Alito 5 Must Stay The Course

By PATRICK J. BUCHANAN In February, five Supreme Court Justices voted in camera to overturn Roe v. Wade and send the issue of abortion back to the states, where it resided until 1973.Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett had all signed on to the majority opinion overturning Roe that had been drafted by Justice Samuel Alito.The right-to-life movement was only weeks away from a stunning victory in its half-century struggle to overturn Roe.This suggests that the leak to Politico of the Alito draft was the work of a saboteur seeking to derail the course of the court by the media explosion he or she knew it would ignite.Whoever leaked Alito’s draft, it was a violation…Continue Reading

By TERENCE P. JEFFREY Speaker Nancy Pelosi went to the House floor September 24, 2021, to express her support for a bill that would enshrine a “right” to abortion in federal law.“For years, radical restrictions on women’s reproductive health freedoms have been pushed across the nation, with 2021 on track to be the worst legislative year for women’s health rights,” Pelosi said.“I come to this as a Catholic and a mother of five, in 6 years and 1 week, and the joy that all that meant to us,” she explained.Under Pelosi’s leadership, the House then voted 218 to 211 to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act.
