By Mark Hulsether

…aths of liberal Supreme Court Justices? Pondering such matters led me to a comment thread about Robertson on Salon.com. Amid the predictable responses (much hateful mocking, a few claims that he was quoted out of context, and conflations of his Christianity with “religion” at large) someone posed this challenge: Given that all Muslims are incessantly challenged to repudiate Osama bin Laden, why aren’t liberal Christians under similar pressure to r…

…al in a case in which women seek legal relief. The move by ProtectMarriage.com was an obvious Hail Mary attempt to get the ruling nullified. Their reaction has been pretty typical—now training their sights on Judge Ware—pointing to a story that the judge “misrepresenting himself as the brother of a boy killed by racists in Alabama in 1963.” Ed Whelan at the National Review quotes an email from an attorney friend who goes on to characterize Ware as…

In the first decade of the twenty-first century, in some conservative, mostly white evangelical circles there were calls to dial down the culture warring—at least in terms of the rhetoric, if not so much the theology that fueled it, nor the pervasive support for the concomitant anti-LGBTQ, anti-woman political agen…

Dispatch from Charlottesville: “It Was a War Zone. It Felt Like There Were a Million Nazis.”

By Sunnivie Brydum

…neo-Nazis arrived. Dr. Robyn Henderson-Espinoza: The nazi groups just kept coming and coming. This is an exaggeration, but it felt like there were a million nazis, to like, 100 counter-protestors. That’s an exaggeration, but I’m just saying, that the number of nazis compared to counter-protestors was unreal. I’m just like, where in the hell did all these people come from?

By Robert P. Jones

…ctionists managed to do something the Confederate Army was never able to accomplish during the Civil War: fly the Confederate battle flag inside the Capitol.

By A. E. Brooks-Key

…avery that reside at the center of the Juneteenth holiday. One of the most comical aspects to what I have come to call the ‘Juneteenth conundrum’ is who is greeted by whom? In 2021, while at a summer solstice festival that happened to coincide with Juneteenth I recall with sheer amusement as two well-meaning, culturally sensitive White women approached tepidly to ask if they could wish me and my companions (all Black) a “Happy Juneteenth.” Our col…

…ver, as Kamala Harris’ photo-op with California AIPAC leaders (taken after committing to not attending the conference) suggests, this may be more about the preservation of optics for the sake of a high-stakes campaign. https://twitter.com/JamalDajani/status/1110362705775345664 Like Republicans, Democrats frame their support of Israel as fundamentally American and resulting from the abhorrence of antisemitism. But the Democrats don’t seem intereste…
