The president and the prelates: parody or parable?
This should have been the April 1st column. You had me going. Perhaps believing this too quickly is an examination of conscience going the other way. The Cardinal mentioning paycheck protection is merely being gracious. It will do nothing to mitigate the perception that Trump is an oaf. Anything Arroyo says is unworthy of mention and will not stop the GOP from a sudden attack of sanity if it were to dump Trump.
Paycheck protection may move the needle on the Blaine Amendment discussions, although a lawsuit challenging them directly would be necessary to overturn them. Until the matter of NEA representation is dealt with (and the recognition that their position on Roe is immaterial to the legality of abortion), the question of direct funding will likely stay moot. Indeed, until the GOP gets being increasing taxes to extend such funding, they are merely paying lip service to the issue. The issue is the GOP as a whole, Trump is simply the extreme example.
