JUSTICE ALITO ON RELIGIOUS FREEDOM: Supreme Court Associate Justice Samuel Alito told the National Lawyers Convention of the Federalist Society Thursday that “religious liberty is in danger of becoming a second-class right.” He said much, more about that issue, freedom of speech, the dangers of the administrative state and related issues.

This address is worth spending quality time listening to and thinking about his observations. And don’t miss his wonderfully tongue-in-cheek explanation for why he believes “it would be good if what originates in Cambridge, stays in Cambridge.”
