Smolin on Natural Law and Religion in Public Life
David M. Smolin (Samford University - Cumberland School of Law) has posted  The Enforcement of Natural Law by the State: A Response to Professor Calhoun on SSRN. Here is the abstract: This essay critiques Michael Perry’s proposal of “ecumenical political dialogue” as an alternative to liberal neutrality in regulating religion and morality in American public life. While Perry rightly rejects neutrality as incoherent and biased, his dialogic model imposes exclusionary criteria—fallibilism, pluralism, and public accessibility—that privilege modernist religious and secular perspectives while marginalizing traditionalist theists.

The Supreme Court denied the petition asking it to reconsider same-sex marriage. There was no noted dissent. This should not come as a surprise to anyone (and if you were surprised, perhaps reconsider your sources of court commentary).

My statement on Middle East peace
A white graphic with a blue border includes the following text: 

My Statement on Middle East Peace
October 9, 2025 

After two years of unimaginable loss and suffering for Israeli families and the people of Gaza, we should all be encouraged and relieved that an end to the conflict is within sight; that those hostages still being held will be reunited with their families; and that vital aid can start reaching those inside Gaza whose lives have been shattered. More than that, though, it now falls on Israelis and Palestinians, with the support of the U.S. and the entire world community, to begin the hard task of rebuilding Gaza – and to commit to a process that, by recognizing the common humanity and basic rights of both peoples, can achieve a lasting peace.
