Wonderful! Congratulations, John.

It is an honor to run an Institute that bears his name!



Amen.

Ed Meese is one of the kindest and most generous men I have ever met. I am glad we will be able to help ameliorate the damage that has been done to the reputation of the center that bears his name at Heritage, by doing outstanding work under the banner of the Meese Institute for…

Merry Christmas to you and Susan!

Folks are asking me what I am going to do next. I’m enjoying Christmas w/my wonderful family, as I hope all of you are doing. When that’s over, I’ll think about the future & how I can continue to contribute to this great country we all call home.



Josh's statement at Reason is worth reading.

I so admire Josh as an honest and forceful analyst, and the Guide is on my desk because a week doesn’t go by that I don’t use and learn from it.

I enjoyed this exchange with @Cato’s legendary Constitutional law scholar @Roger_Pilon — on why I believe the American system will prevail in 21st-century competition with China.

Demographic shifts—people voting with their feet—will lead eventually to a death spiral in the losing states. Tax payers leave; tax takers remain. Unless the feds bail those losing states out. Watch Illinois, NY, etc.

New Jersey would be very competitive politically if all the Republicans who moved to FL from NJ since I‘ve been governor were still voting in New Jersey. Bad leftist policies drive out center/right voters and leave the remaining electorate even more left.



He may have been one of the few, but he was not one of the only.

God bless Josh Howerton for being one of the only pastors with the courage to speak these truths.

Gotta love this!

This is awesome.



Amen. Trump's attack on the Federalist Society and Leonard Leo in particular was reprehensible. At bottom it was a vile attack on the rule of law.

The interesting question isn't the relationship between Trump and Leonard Leo or the Federalist Society; the interesting question is whether the Trump-led GOP is any longer, in any meaningful sense, a "constitutionalist conservative" party.
