What the hell is this Kennedy post all about?? Is there some person out there worth taking seriously that I’m not aware of who thinks that Republicans never falter on judicial nominations? Who exactly are you talking to?
Here’s my response: The POINT is that the liberal activist and libertarian activist forms of judicial activism are deeply different impulses. They can’t be incorporated under a single “livinig constitution,” “progressive” rubric.
Here’s the irate person’s response: “Fair enough, I agree, but I didn’t get that from the post.”
What I have to admit: Then I failed to get my message across.
And, as I said in the thread: Remember that I’ve been consistently critical of all those so-called conservatives who think they’re too GOOD to be Republicans. I just want to explain why being a Republican is GOOD.
You have a decision to make: double or nothing.
For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.
In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.
So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?
Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
