We've seen an unusual number of 9-0 unanimous decisions from the Supreme Court lately, such as today's ruling in Fulton v. City of Philadelphia, where the Court said the city can't force Catholic charities to recognize same-sex couples for purposes of adoption, because that would violate the First Amendment.
In ordinary times, there might be a few liberal justices who would dissent. But as Democrats threaten to pack the Court by expanding the number of justices and filling the vacancies with political flunkies, the Court's liberals appear to be "speaking out" by siding with the conservatives on core Constitutional issues.
Their message: we are not a closely divided Court on these fundamental rights. We do not need the intervention of politicians to undo a century-and-a-half of precedent by packing the Court, and undermining public faith in the judicial system. It will be interesting to see whether Democrats are paying attention.
Today's episode is devoted to the second anniversary of the October 7 terror attacks. It was produced before the announcement of a ceasefire deal, yet remains current & relevant.
Please listen, and #bringthemhome.

This week's portion is a beautiful poem, containing the Covenant between God and the people of Israel. But given the breaking news that Hamas may actually have agreed to release all of the Israeli hostages, I will devote my remarks to that.
One hopes it is true; if so, it makes this week's additional reading, from II Samuel 22, even more relevant: David's song of praise to the Lord for delivering him from the hand of his enemies.
"18 He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
from my foes, who were too strong for me.
19 They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
but the Lord was my support."
So much to focus on this week -- and much breaking news. A peace deal in the Middle East, perhaps? Eric Adams dropping out of the mayor's race? And a looming shutdown as Democrats push their demands beyond absurdity.
