Observations

“As much as we may not like it, the United States has engaged in conflict and meddling more or less since its inception. The U.S. was born in war. It expanded through war. It freed its slaves through war. It grew into a superpower through war. And until utopia exists, it’s exceedingly likely we will need to clash with those who threaten our prestige and power.” —David Harsanyi

“Many Americans now recognize that redefining marriage opened a Pandora’s box, leading to efforts to redefine human sexuality throughout education, sports, medicine, government, and other areas of public life. … The court should not stop with women’s sports. If biological reality matters on the playing field, does it not matter in the family? The truthful answer to that question requires reexamining Obergefell.” —Tony Perkins
