Cities that want to forbid religious organizations from participating in public programs have a new obstacle to overcome. The Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court—all nine of them—agreed in Fulton v.

246 years after the U.S. Army was established, today’s Department of Defense appears to be distracted from its national defense mission. Media commentators and service members alike have lamented the military’s drift toward becoming a testing ground for social policy experimentation.

While the highest court in the land attracts most of the attention, leftists plot an ideological capture of the lower courts.
