"This idea of that amicus briefs should stick to legal arguments is preposterous. Amicus briefs regularly present the ethical and practical consequences of how a ruling will affect groups of people not specifically named in the lawsuit." My piece: https://t.co/NGket5ssUw

The bishops filed an amicus brief in support of birthright citizenship. Conservative critics aren’t happy.

Catholics concerned about the Pope's charitable letter to Mrs Mullaly...I think the parable of the Good Samaritan and the story of the woman at the well show us what Jesus' attitude would be to a woman considered to be a heretic, an outsider and a disgrace by the strict religious

People ask why I push back so hard on Donald Trump. It's simple: Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

@MarkHorowitz One of the worst pieces about Hollywood I’ve read. No historical context. Save for the very early days, corporations and would-be moguls have bought & sold studios over and over again. Gulf & Western, Coca-Cola, Sony, Matsushita, Seagram, MCA, GE. Everyone wants in, few succeed.

The enduring legacy of Wall Street legend Art Cashin. His newsletter, Cashin's Comments, was read by tens of thousands. His secret was his uncanny skill as a storyteller. https://t.co/AyO2nAuxC6

Have you noticed how churches are re-branding? It used to be Fifth Avenue Baptist now its "All In" or "Immersion Church" Here's a blog post asking what it looks like if other denominations--and Catholics start to follow the trend -

As you drive around the American South you can't help noticing the old fashioned Baptist churches are ditching their Baptist label. Reassuring brick churches with classic style porches and steeples...

I’m sorry for your loss.
I didn’t vote for a “nice” president. I voted for an “effective” president.

Sen. John Kennedy admits on Fox News that the Republicans and Democrats reached a deal to fund TSA, but Trump said, “No. No deals with the Democrats.” Kennedy says, “It would have worked. We could have had TSA paid by the end of the week.” This is the Trump shutdown!

Oh. So they want Obama’s nuclear deal minus Obama’s signature. Got it.
The U.S. wants Iran to make 6 commitments: 1️⃣ No missile program for 5 years. 2️⃣ Zero uranium enrichment. 3️⃣ Decommissioning of nuclear reactors. 4️⃣ Arms control treaties with regional countries. 5️⃣ No financing for regional proxies. 6️⃣ Strict outside observation protocols
