Reading has become an endangered species. Which is half the problem with American political life. Maybe more than half. If you can't read, you can't think. Then you can fall for anything. The idea, for instance, that the truth is fake news.

The Pope reminds me of a version of Catholicism I knew growing up as a young man attending anti-war and anti-death penalty protests, where I met elderly Catholics who shared their version of faith with me. I learned that Catholicism was about love and mercy for the weak, the condemned, and the poor.

If the money Trump claims to pay is tied to an election result, it isn’t a “cash payment” or “dividend” or “rebate” or “stimulus.” It is a bribe. Plain and simple. Calling it anything else accepts a false premise and helps Trump and Republicans cover up how corrupt it truly is.

very good and it zeroes in on a really important dynamic: the way the professionalization of the court and the industry around it serves to insulate the justices from democratic feedback as well as contribute to the idea that the justices are law wizards to whom we *ought* to defer.
