MGB: The Gosat story is only funny if he loses.  Even sadder are those Republican bishops who think that going to an ICE prison camp is against their side politically.  Such bishops have no moral authority. 

Originalism is not in the realm of philosophy or theology. It is a matter of legal reasoning, pure and simple. It has evolved from the fanaticism of Scalia to a decent respect for the history and evolution of legal concepts. In that light, all judges are originalists.

The term middle class means nothing if everyone, including the rich, think of themselves that way. It is the label that is toxic, as the statistical standard deviations (and they are skewed rather than normal with most people at the poorer end with a long tail for the more well off) are ignored. A better distinction is professional class and working class, except that this offends working class people who think that any class consciousness at all makes them Marxian atheists.

Governor Rossello is a moron. Cruz should be attacking him and not Trump. Indeed, her party probably votes in the Republican presidential primaries.
