Back to work: A federal judge has ruled that the Trump administration’s unilateral dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) likely violated the U.S. Constitution. On Tuesday, U.S. District Court Judge Theodore Chuang ordered the administration to return computer and email access to employees of the agency, including those who had been placed on administrative leave, reports the Associated Press.

What do T.S. Eliot, Charles Williams, Dorothy L. Sayers, and Hugh Ross Williamson have in common? The answer is that they were all commissioned to write plays for the annual Canterbury Festival. T.S. Eliot had written Murder in the Cathedral about the martyrdom of St. Thomas Becket; Charles Williams wrote Thomas Cranmer of Canterbury, about the 16th-century Protestant “reformer”; Dorothy L. Sayers wrote The Zeal of Thy House, about the architect who oversaw the medieval rebuilding of Canterbury Cathedral; and Hugh Ross Williamson wrote His Eminence […]

The intellectual and moral level of European elites is shockingly low. I say shockingly because as an American I found the European (and British) accents gave a very sophisticated quality to their discourse.

Have you ever wondered what makes a person snap? What causes a normal, quiet, everyday citizen, loving mother, or doting father to lose it all and fight like a caged animal? What can cause a small village to rise up and rebel against an oppressive police force and start killing them?

Neutral Principles for Birthright Citizenship on the Emergency Docket

⋅

On Thursday, the Acting Solicitor General filed emergency applications in three birthright citizenship cases (24A884, 24A885, and 24A886). These are appeals from the First, Fourth, and Ninth Circuits. The government has sought only a partial stay. First, the SG argues that the universal injunctions improperly granted relief to non-parties. Second, the SG contends that it was not proper to grant relief to the states. Third, the SG argues that the lower-court injunctions are overbroad insofar as they prevent […]
