The First Amendment's Terms of Service

By: Loury ＆amp； Shellenberger， Substack
Maybe my least surprising political position is advocacy for free and open discourse. Without free speech as a bedrock principle, democracy would mean little. If we can't, as private citizens, receive, judge, and debate ideas and information, the decisions we make on the basis of that information cannot themselves be considered "free" in any meaningful sense. If some central authority prevents me from discussing information-or even the possibility of the existence of information-that could change people's minds about that authority's course of action, all of our rights have been damaged.

Senate, House, and WH Could All Change Hands in November

By: Ed Kilgore， NY Mag
With the two major parties matched pretty evenly, it's not too surprising that margin of control in the House and Senate (at present three seats in the House and just one in the Senate) make them very vulnerable to a change of ownership in November. The close nature of five out of the 21st century's six presidential elections, along with a rare rematch between the last two winners, makes predictions in the 2024 presidential contest problematic as well, even before you get to factors like Donald Trump's civil and criminal trials, his and Joe Biden's advanced age, and the possibility of another...

By: Frank Miele， RealClearPolitics

American Conservatism Clarifies Natcon's Contribution

By: Peter Berkowitz， RCP
Members of moral, political, and religious traditions share basic assumptions, fundamental principles, and central convictions about their associations and institutions.

Dems Only Need To Make One Argument for Biden

By: Ana Marie Cox， CNN
To win in November, President Joe Biden and other Democrats must seize upon and never let up on abortion rights as their most important policy focus. Democrats' historical reticence to give a full-throated and explicit defense of abortion rights or to take advantage of congressional majorities to enshrine those rights into law kept the door open for Republicans to find a way to overturn Roe v Wade. The painful irony is that because of this policy mismanagement, Democrats have transmuted the hardship and suffering of hundreds of thousands of would-be abortion-seekers into a wave of ballot-box...

By: Frida Ghitis， CNN
