------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC Distinguished Senior Fellow George Weigel
Syndicated Column

By EPPC Fellow Carl R. Trueman

** THIRTY YEARS ON THE SUPREME COURT
------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC Fellow Andrew T. Walker
WORLD Opinions
------------------------------------------------------------
Justice Clarence Thomas is the embodiment of both an American and Augustinian paradox: Through setback can come triumph, and through grit and independence can come a retrieval of America’s constitutional ideals. Read More ([link removed])
