...shaping a reform plan, the debate there is moving sluggishly through the Finance Committee, where few revolutions have ever been hatched. It may be Gingrich who has the nerve and muscle to remake Medicare; if the Democrats are going to get in the game, they will first need to admit that the rules they have played by for years may have already changed forever...
Mother Angelica was aghast. Having a female represent Christ was "an abomination" and "blasphemy" perpetrated by unnamed Catholic liberals who want to "divide and separate and destroy" the church. "Enough is enough," she declared, her voice quivering with anger. "I'm tired of inclusive language that refuses to admit that the Son of God is a man. I'm tired of you, liberal church in America.

White seeks to reduce Thomas to a curiosity and thereby minimize the importance of his contribution to the Supreme Court. Any fair person who has read Thomas' decisions is forced to admit that he has emerged as an intellectually vigorous voice on the court. His writings this term, like those of previous years, have articulated a robust judicial philosophy that properly respects the text and history of the Constitution and show due sensitivity for the policymaking role of the democratically elected branches...
