| Dear Jolt Reader, Let me finish the old Catholic prayer to Saint Anthony started in the subject line: ". . . something's lost and must be found." Like your principles, Anthony Kennedy. You have become a foul, foul jurist. We Irish are used to our traitors. Still, that doesn't make it any easier when treachery happens. Especially to little innocent babies. And especially on behalf of the Gosnells and charnel houses of the world. Regarding the Supreme Court's noxious ruling against state laws, and against the will of the People, National Review has an excellent editorial on the Court's usurpation of state power and its thrill to unrestricted abortion. Kevin Williamson weighs in with a powerful piece -- "The Imaginarium of Harry Blackmun" -- on the irrational absurdity of the concocted abortion rights and its . . . offspring, if you will. Read it and share it please, but I offer these two telling sentences in advance: My lawyer friends, many of whom are brilliant, set about dissecting the arguments and conducting the usual exegetical exercises on the majority opinion and Justice Thomas's dissent. They might as well have been arguing that their local astrologer made a mistake in his charts or that Madame Sosostris committed an error in interpreting her wicked pack of cards. On the presidential race, Victor Davis Hanson's new essay is as perceptive as the High Court's dictat was wicked. In a nutshell: Hillary getting into it with Trump is . . . advantage, The Donald. Here's one paragraph, but do read them all. Does Hillary think that she can match Trump's mastery of the arts of personal slander and invective? This time around, the target is not Marco Rubio's stature, Jeb Bush's energy level, or Ted Cruz's hardball delegate hunting, but a scandal that won't go away, because it cannot, given the meteoric rise of the Clintons' net worth predicated on the misuse of government power. Hillary should revisit Elizabeth Warren's surrogate attacks. She went from a consumer-rights, liberal Harvard icon to a fellow Trump brawler and lost a twitter war of invectives, having forgotten that she is a U.S. senator, while Trump is (at least for now) a private citizen. Brexit is the referendum that keeps on giving. There are two pieces on NRO today you should find time to read. One is Rich Lowry's new column, which is a smack upside the leftist belief that democracy is too important to be left to the people. And Andrew Stuttaford looks way back -- decades back -- to find the roots of Brexit. I'm travelling and about to split my hotel, so today I'll forgo baseball and relief pitchers. Still, I hope Big Jim and his beautiful family are enjoying the time off. And if that puts you in the mind of considering a cruise (how was that for the worst segue ever?): You can clarify your thinking at www.nrcruise.com. God bless, especially the babies, Jack Fowler Publisher |
