REV. MARK H. CREECH — There is violence throughout our land, and most of it in the name of eradicating racism. Any statue with the slightest perception of some racist association or history is either spray-painted with profane graffiti or pulled to the ground. Public buildings and businesses have been ransacked, looted, or burned. A Black Lives Matter leader from New York declares on national television that if the U.S. "doesn't give us what we want, then we will burn down this system."... (more)

THE EDITORS OF NATIONAL REVIEW — The coronavirus hasn't gone away. As the Northeast, the epicenter of the pandemic in the U.S. for months, has seen steep, persistent declines in confirmed cases, other parts of the country have spiked. A month or so ago, most of the increased cases were a function of increased testing. Now, states like Florida, Texas, and Arizona have seen worrying increases in their positivity rates -- the percentage of tests that are positive -- in a sign of accelerating community spread....

MICHAEL A. CARTER, JR. — During a recent Facebook faceoff with a fellow black American, I posed the following question: "How many unarmed black Americans were fatally shot by police in 2019? My debate partner's answer was a dismissive, "What does it matter? One too many." But is the lack of intellectual curiosity in this response appropriate, given all that has happened to the black community as a result of last month's protests? After all, these spasms of justice were perpetrated, supposedly, to combat law enforcement brutality and to stymie the pervasive, police-imposed "black genocide" occurring from sea to shining sea....

SELWYN DUKE — The Supreme Court's recent opinion that the 1964 Civil Rights Act's prohibition against "sex" discrimination offers protections for the "LGBT" groups has raised eyebrows and ire.

One of these is what's called "textualism," which is not at all the same as originalism.... (more)
