I thought I would recommend this Adam J. White post. It provides a good warning to conservatives against falling into the trap of defending the idea of “judicial supremacy” in their critique of the president’s statement about a “group” of unelected people striking down a congressional law.

Mr. White refers to Lincoln’s First Inaugural Address. I’m kinda surprised that this is the first reference I have read to this speech throughout this whole contretemps—begun by the careless remarks of our Con Law Prof in Chief.

Dear Reader,

While I have you, can I ask you something? I’ll be quick.

Twenty-five thousand people subscribe to First Things. Why can’t that be fifty thousand? Three million people read First Things online like you are right now. Why can’t that be four million?

Let’s stop saying “can’t.” Because it can. And your year-end gift of just $50, $100, or even $250 or more will make it possible.

How much would you give to introduce just one new person to First Things? What about ten people, or even a hundred? That’s the power of your charitable support.
