hipsterlibertarian:
The Young Americans for Liberty chapter at the University of Cincinnati (I work at YAL’s national HQ, for those who don’t know) is suing their school over its absurd restrictions on free speech given that it is “public” property. Yeah, yeah, ideally there wouldn’t be public schools over which to have this fight, but as it stands, this is good stuff. More details:

Letters To My Country: On Reading Cases, Ctd. →
letterstomycountry:
squashed replied to your post: Personal Notes: On Reading Cases
And when it’s a Thomas opinion, I close the book. Because Thomas’s opinions are written terribly. Scalia was at least witty.
Thomas is horrible 99% of the time. But he is actually fairly lucid when he’s writing…
I’m not going to address Affirmative Action on the whole as theory or practice but I...

Rick Warren: One of the great evidences of God is answered prayer. I have a friend, a Canadian friend, who has an immigration issue. He's an intern at this church, and so I said, "God, I need you to help me with this," as I went out for my evening walk. As I was walking I met a woman. She said, "I'm an immigration attorney; I'd be happy to take this case." Now, if that happened once in my life I'd say, "That is a coincidence." If it happened tens of thousands of times, that is not a coincidence.
Jon Meacham: There must have been times in your ministry when you've prayed for someone to be delivered from disease who is not—say, a little girl with cancer.
Rick Warren: Oh, absolutely.
Jon Meacham: So, parse that. God gave you an immigration attorney, but God killed a little girl.
Rick Warren: Well, I do believe in the goodness of God, and I do believe that he knows better than I do. God sometimes says yes, God sometimes says no and God sometimes says wait. I've had to learn the difference between no and not yet. The issue here really does come down to surrender.A lot of atheists hide behind rationalism; when you start probing, you find their reactions are quite emotional. In fact, I've never met an atheist who wasn't angry.
Sam Harris: Let me be the first.
Rick Warren: I think your books are quite angry.
Sam Harris: I would put it at impatient rather than angry. Let me respond to this notion of answered prayer, because this is a classic sampling error, to use a statistical phrase. We know that human beings have a terrible sense of probability. There are many things we believe that confirm our prejudices about the world, and we believe this only by noticing the confirmations, and not keeping track of the disconfirmations. You could prove to the satisfaction of every scientist that intercessory prayer works if you set up a simple experiment. Get a billion Christians to pray for a single amputee. Get them to pray that God regrow that missing limb. This happens to salamanders every day, presumably without prayer; this is within the capacity of God. I find it interesting that people of faith only tend to pray for conditions that are self-limiting.

– Former Army Sergeant Kayla Williams dropped a lot of wisdom in an NPR interview earlier this week. You should go read/listen to what she had to say. (via thepoliticalnotebook)
