Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s example of civility: Choosing today to invest in tomorrow

Last updated on: October 1, 2020 at 5:30 am By Jim Denison

The rancorous nature of Tuesday night’s presidential debate continues to be a reflection of our political climate. As Judge Amy Coney Barrett began meeting with senators this week ahead of her confirmation hearings, multiple Democrats refused to see her. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer calls the process that led to her nomination “illegitimate.” Sen. Richard Blumenthal also condemned what he called an “illegitimate sham process.” In the midst of such vitriol, Judge Barrett’s demeanor is an example for us all. ... Read more

Amy Coney Barrett and the People of Praise: How to respond when critics don’t understand our faith

Last updated on: September 29, 2020 at 5:30 am By Jim Denison

Supreme Court confirmation hearings for Judge Amy Coney Barrett are set to begin on October 12. Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said the committee should clear her nomination by October 26, leaving the Republican-led Senate roughly a week to confirm Barrett before the November 3 election. Attacks on her family and faith have already begun. Focusing on the fact that she and her husband adopted two children from Haiti, one critic suggested without any evidence the possibility that...

What a self-described liberal said about Amy Coney Barrett: Fighting for truth with courageous grace

Last updated on: September 28, 2020 at 5:30 am By Jim Denison

It’s not often that we get to see history being made, but that’s what happened Saturday afternoon when President Trump nominated Judge Amy Coney Barrett for the Supreme Court of the United States. Any nomination to our nation’s highest court is historic. If confirmed, Judge Barrett will become only the 115th person in American history to sit on this court and only the fifth woman. Moreover, she will be the first person with school-age children to serve. But what most... Read more

If “Love Island” is our future: The legacy of Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the urgency of moral purpose

Last updated on: September 24, 2020 at 5:30 am By Jim Denison

My wife and I watched NCIS Tuesday night. When the show ended, Love Island began. We watched the first minute and were so shocked we turned the television off. CBS describes the show this way: “Love Island is the sizzling summer series based on the international smash hit and cultural phenomenon. The matchmaking begins as a group of single ‘Islanders’ come together in a stunning villa in Las Vegas, ready to embark on a summer of dating, romance, and ultimately,... Read more

Two reasons the Supreme Court has become so divisive: The most important book I have read this year and a calling beyond compare

Last updated on: September 23, 2020 at 5:30 am By Jim Denison

Sen. Mitt Romney announced yesterday his support for a process whereby the Senate could confirm a nominee to the Supreme Court before Election Day. His statement seems to ensure that a candidate could be confirmed barring missteps by the nominee during the confirmation process. This process has become extraordinarily contentious for two reasons. One is obvious; the other is less so but even more fundamental to our nation and her future. Why the Republicans will nominate a candidate Ruth Bader... Read more
