Congratulations to my star former student Matthew Schwartz on his confirmation as a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit. Great news for the country. (This should have been a 100-0 vote, but we live in the times in which we live.)

🚨 CONFIRMED 50-45🚨 The Senate has confirmed Matthew Schwartz to be United States Circuit Judge for the Second Circuit. Schwartz will be an outstanding asset to the federal bench.

I appreciate the kind words of everyone in this tribute video, but Cornel West--predictably--offers the most unusual and surprising perspective (at 4:20): "Every time I hear Brother Robby talk, he reminds me a little bit of Malcolm X." youtube.com/watch?v=YjDgIR…

@sorianojohnd I strongly suspect you are right. It's likely he is lying rather than being lied about. My point, though, is that IF he is being lied about then he should tell the truth and, as I said to Cathy, trust its power with voters. Yielding to bullies encourages more bullying.

@McCormickProf Methinks he protests too much -- and that his chosen approach is wholly consistent with the pattern and practice of his past behavior.

@CathyYoung63 A strong disagree on this one, Cathy. If someone is innocent, he or she should not allow the media and the party establishment to bully him or her out of the race. He or she should tell the truth and trust in its power with voters. To yield to bullying is to encourage more of it.

@McCormickProf I don't think that's true. If you're innocent but genuinely believe the allegations would make it impossible for you to win, I think you owe it to the voters and to your party to withdraw and give another candidate a chance.

Q: What do you get when you put together some philosophers, an historian, a biographer, a radiologist, a school teacher, a couple of editors, and a coal miner? A: Folk music.

@McCormickProf Suing nuns who care for the elderly poor — again and again — was the big reveal for me on Shapiro.

I was never among those who believed Josh Shapiro could emerge as a voice of sanity in the Democratic Party. His pro-abortion fanaticism and extreme social liberalism put that off the table. Still my friend Jonathan Turley is right to say: "Yesterday’s armchair revolutionaries like Josh Shapiro will soon be treated as today’s reactionaries by the very mob that they are trying to enlist. What will be left is a lament of what Shapiro could have been at this moment in our history. As Terry Malloy said, he 'coulda had class. [He] coulda been a contender. [He] could’ve been somebody'.”

I offer some thoughts in this interview with Dean Pete Peterson of Pepperdine's outstanding school of public policy on 1) faith-based institutions of higher education; 2) the importance of viewpoint diversity; and 3) what's valuable about "great books." youtu.be/QaciZCX2ruI?is…

@peterboghossian You are absolutely right, Peter. That is very sound advice. I understand why the interviewer is beating this guy up, but a bit of graciousness toward people who are honest enough to admit they had promoted the absurd claims of the gender ideologists would be a good thing.

Don't dogpile this guy. Thank him for being honest. He stated that he changed his mind and now understands that a woman cannot have a penis. We are in the beginning of a mass vehement denial where people deny they ever believed any of it. Reward honesty, esp about idiotic things.
J Stewart@triffic_stuff_

🤯 Listen to this extraordinary exchange between Camilla Tominey and Labour’s Health Secretary James Murray. It is genuinely jaw-dropping. Camilla: “You’re quite pro-trans, aren’t you? Do you think a woman can have a penis? Because you did previously?” Murray: “No, I don’t.” Camilla: “So you’ve changed your mind?” Murray: “Yes.” Camilla: “Why?” Murray stumbles. He says he’s been thinking about the issue over recent years and would not now say trans women are women. Camilla hits back: “You must have known that before. You are very well educated. How on earth can you have previously thought that a woman can have a penis?” He had no real answer. Because there isn’t one. This is not some backbench MP. This is the Secretary of State for Health, the man responsible for the entire NHS, puberty blocker policy, women’s health services, and child safeguarding. He spent years either believing or pretending to believe that biological sex is fluid and that women can have penises. Only now, when the Cass Review, court rulings, and public opinion have made that position politically toxic, has he magically “changed his mind”. Think about the damage done while he held that view. The eroded women’s rights. The confused children fast-tracked toward hormones and surgery. The female prisoners and athletes forced to share spaces with biological males. All enabled or ignored by senior Labour figures like him. This level of ideological delusion at the very top of government is not just embarrassing, it is dangerous. Basic biology should never have been up for debate, let alone something a Health Secretary had to “evolve” on.

@timurkuran During the marriage debate there was a big effort to present a sanitized version of the movement. That might be what you're remembering. Even now, in some quarters there's an effort to present a sanitized history.

@timurkuran I don't think the movement changed, Timur. Thirty years ago, I was driving my ten-year old to a guitar lesson one Sunday when we accidentally drove into a gay pride parade. Everything you see on display today, was fully on display then--and I do mean everything.

The gay rights movement once sought equal rights and to be left alone. Now it’s been hijacked by fetishists, exhibitionists, and hypersexualized activists craving the spotlight. Predictably, after decades of rising acceptance, tolerance for sexual nonconformists is falling.

@BMcGrewvy People should feel free to form and express opinions about public figures, including clergy of traditions other than their own. There are praiseworthy and not praiseworthy public clergy across the traditions of faith today. Everyone should be welcome to state their opinions.

I've never understood this weird touchiness some Catholics have over Prots having opinions about public Catholic clergy figures. I wouldn't give two figs if a Catholic wanted to hold forth about a super public Prot figure.
