Links for 02/16/16 | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: Didn't we eventually get Brennan out of the Fortas deal? The GOP should be careful what it wishes for.
Scalia ruled against peyote use because he was an authoritarian - he believed that state democracy trumps individual rights unless that right is constitutionally listed. It was really a tragic position. The extant contraception case, however, is not about religious liberty (if it were, it would apply to the employees). It's about religious power. I am sure Scalia voted for the latter. I am not sure Kennedy did, so this may still be settled law - but not in the way Silk or Winters want it to be.
Its long been an issue that Catholic colleges have taken in students who were not predicted to do well. Sometimes they thrive but a lot of times they wash out. Not sure why Newman wanted to make the wash out go faster (unless he was refunding tuition or freeing dorm space), but the heavy handed manner in which he went about it - and his insistence that he stay on is unworthy of a Catholic college president. He needs to be fired. It would be nice if we saw some ;arge scale student and faculty protest, just to underline the point.
