Links for 06/01/17: At the Catholic Labor Network, Church and Labor stood together to defend sanctuary cities in Texas, but the Republican, and Catholic, governor signed the bill into law anyway. Wait
MGB: Cities are always creatures of the state. They have no innate sovereignty. The rule of law means that sometimes you won't like the result. If the Church still believes in asserting sanctuary rights, it needs to do so without city government.
The GOP giving privileges back to payday lenders is no shock. The name of the bill is pure truth-speak. It refers to choices by lenders, not borrowers.
Neo-conservatives were ex-Marxists who decided that Israel needed their help more than workers and the Soviets. Anti-Trump intellectuals are essentially independent of the Koch Bros. hired guns. Of course, if the Kochs turn against Trump, its practically over. Trump is a fascist, he does not get to use the word conservative, so Michael Gerson et al can simply call themselves conservatives without confusing anyone.
