Links for 04/03/17: At the Working-Class Perspectives blog, Sherry Linkon and John Russo argue, persuasively, that the resistance to Trump movement must keep its eye on issues of economic justice. Enough with the bath...
MGB: Economic justice as a warm fuzzy is not enough. A full-throated attack on capitalism and Trump as a capitalist is what is needed now.
We never know how a Justice will rule. Souter was supposed to be a conservative, as were Alito and Roberts. All looked at Roe as settled law. A defense attorney would be good. Even better would be a good consumer attorney. As for Gorsuch, if he is more like his mentor, Justice Kennedy, than his friend, Justice Scalia, it will be a win. Whether Senators vote for him or not, they should not filibuster him.
Benedict and Francis are also very close and are very different as well. The similarity is a matter of Charism. The differences, however, are still striking. While many read a lot of their own desires into Francis, we have not heard him condemn relativism. He is still a pastor first.
I remember the St. John Paul death watch. It is interesting that they did not put him on a ventilator or give him a feeding tube.
