A wonderful profile of the great Jennie Lichter in the Harvard Law Bulletin. Jennie, a Harvard Law graduate, is president of March for Life. Kudos to the editors of the Bulletin for publishing the profile. They'll take a lot of heat for it ... but it was exactly the right thing to do, and is yet more evidence that Harvard Law School is in the lead in recognizing achievement and distinction (in admissions, faculty hiring, and other ways) in an ideologically non-partisan manner. hls.harvard.edu/today/leading-…

Lincoln even defied parts of the Supreme Court's decision in Dred Scott v. Sandford. He wasn't wrong to do that. I'm not arguing for judicial supremacy. (I've been a critic of that idea, precisely on constitutional grounds.) But judicial *independence* is critically important. 5/

This isn't to say that Democrats or others shouldn't criticize the Court when they believe the justices have usurped the authority of the other branches or betrayed the Constitution. The historical record shows that such criticism has sometimes been warranted. So, criticize. 4/

Insane. Democratic Party leaders are explicitly pledging to pack the Supreme Court--increasing the number of justices from 9 to 13--the moment they get the presidency and control of the Senate. This would be the end of an independent judiciary in the United States of America. 1/

For people of faith, our ultimate loyalty is to God, not any merely human reality. Yet, we are called to be good citizens. Patriotism, properly understood, is a virtue, not a sin. Please join us online today (May 15) at 7 pm Eastern Time (4 pm Pacific) for a discussion of "living faithfully at America's 250th anniversary" with Archbishops Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco and Alexander Sample of Portland.

The longer I live, the clearer it becomes to me that people will have a religion, or something that plays the role in their lives played by religion in the lives of people of faith. The only question is what religion (or pseudo-religion) they will have, and whether it will be a good one or a bad one--one that upholds human dignity and teaches genuine virtue, or one that does not.

Wisdom from my great friend John Tasioulos.
John Tasioulas@JTasioulas

That which is glorious is worthy of being revered, and revered because it is glorious. That's the conservative side of the role of the humanities. But they also have an inseparable critical and creative side, to foster critical reflection so that, partly through being aware of past and present shortcomings, we can make our own contribution, perhaps even adding to the glories that are worthy of reverence. Sadly the former function can be perverted into a form of parochialism and idolatry, while the latter can degenerate into a form of relativism and nihilism.

A great Catholic archbishop pays tribute to a great Jewish lady who labored tirelessly in the cause of interreligious dialogue and cooperation. Rita Semel was loved and honored not only in the Jewish community but in many other communities of faith. May her memory be a blessing.
Archbishop Salvatore J. Cordileone@ArchCordileone

Please join me in praying for the repose of the soul of Rita Semel who for more than half a century was a champion of interfaith dialogue. Rita was the co-founder of the San Francisco Interfaith Council, a former board member of Catholic Charities, and everyone’s favorite Jewish grandmother. I consider it a great blessing to have known her during my time as the Archbishop of San Francisco. May she rest in peace.   sfinterfaithcouncil.org
