Impartiality and Judges

1. On the impartiality of judges and the oath of office, in this age of identity politics, see here, here, and here.

2. The Vatican newspaper, which has been criticized for undermining the US Bishops' critique of Administration policies, is starting to get on board. The editor, however, still does not understand why we consider the President to be "pro-abortion". See my blog post today for reasons why we consider the President and others to be "pro-abortion".

3. The USCCB's statement on the new stem cell policies. In short, the guidelines ignore science, ethics and the humanity of the human embryo. Cardinal George calls on the President to live up to his word -- you talk about protecting conscience, now's the time to prove it.

4. Hadley Arkes sees the reality behind the "reducing unintended pregnancy" stuff coming out of the Administration.

5. Mark Shea precisely diagnoses the slide from morality towards tyranny, thanks to the breakdown in moral principles on marriage and sexuality. Part One here.

6. Brave New World, coming to a school district near you -- indoctrinating public school kids on homosexuality.

7. Still a close call on the same-sex "marriage" bill in Albany. Maggie Gallagher crunches the poll numbers.

8. Perhaps at some point people would actually read what Cardinal Bernadin said, and stop misusing him as a poster-boy for the notion that abortion is of equal importance with other issues.

9. Hey, somebody's trying to introduce more modest swimwear for women. Finally, a calendar I can post at work.
