A Day for Lament at the Supreme Court
Here’s Marvin Olasky writing for WORLD: “Roberts may have the opportunity to redeem himself when the court gets a case that could lead to an overturning of Roe v. Wade as a whole.

Yet that doesn’t seem to stop us from creating a shiny, clanging idol of our own opinions.”

Flashback: Don’t Cheat Yourself Out of Good Tools
Don’t be afraid or ashamed to get the tools you need to do your best possible work. If you’re going to scrimp and save, well and good, but this is not the place to do it.
If our commitment to diversity is more than skin deep, we must cultivate deep friendships with smart people with whom we fundamentally disagree.
