The most pressing, over-arching point is the one covered briefly in my previous article: for all the furor made over the lack of due process, my fellow conservatives (as well as liberals) have given virtually zero attention to Kavanaugh’s own track record on due process.
Read MoreA couple people have asked about James White’s podcast regarding the Kavanaugh hearings and laws for witnesses. In an effort to describe the conflagration surrounding the Ford testimony, the discussion turned to the law of God and its application in modern times. “Kinda sounds like Theonomy,” was the thought—which would be a novel thing for someone who has criticized Theonomy.

Read MoreWhile it is helpful to remind ourselves that the technical definition of “Socialism” is quite narrow, and that by that definition we must understand “Socialism” is indeed a dead political and economic philosophy, let’s not be so black-and-white minded that we ignore the obvious.
