Amy Coney Barrett – Smart, Pleasant, Competent
Judge Barrett, Trump’s nominee for Justice, is going to be a tough nut to crack, insists Roger Kimball in American Greatness. “Her personal history is an open book of service and commitment.” A Careful Model of Originalism Although Judge Barrett has served only three years on the federal bench, she seems an exemplar of this […]
Pride, Ego, Hubris? All of the Above?
Big egos are contagious, especially in sports, Andy Kessler does not really need to remind any sport’s fan, semi or not. Would not a little less hubris and a little more humility go a long way, especially in today’s hyper-arrogant world, Mr. Kessler asks. No Autographs? Barry Bonds, the home-run-record-holding San Francisco Giant, once told […]

Gender and Race – Biden’s Supreme Qualifications?

Ruth Ginsburg: Worthy of Great Praise and Adulation?
Who amongst us wants to say anything negative about the dead? Especially when the deceased is an “icon,” a feminist icon at that.
