** WHY FINDING JUSTICES WHO WILL OVERTURN ROE V. WADE HASN’T BEEN EASY, AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT
------------------------------------------------------------

“Any effort to seat justices who will overturn Roe needs to take account of the serious political obstacles that stand in the way,” explains ([link removed]) EPPC President Ed Whelan at Public Discourse.

** SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL
------------------------------------------------------------

** WHY WE ARE WHERE WE ARE
------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC Distinguished Senior Fellow George Weigel
Syndicated Column

------------------------------------------------------------
It’s hard, verging on impossible, to imagine the president-to-be-inaugurated next January summoning the country to national unity through magnanimity because our political culture has become so coarsened that it cannot cast up presidential candidates capable of credibly making that kind of appeal.
