Delighted to share that Ryan Hanlon (of the National Council for Adoption, and Adjunct Professor in CUA’s National Catholics School of Social Services) and I have published an article in the Notre Dame Journal of Law, Ethics, and Public Policy entitled, “Informing Choice: The Role of Adoption in Women’s Pregnancy Decision-Making.” In this article, we describe […]
Kevin and I offer some guarded reactions to, and some explanation of some of the issues in, today’s big decisions concerning universal injunctions, the separation of powers, free speech, and free exercise. Listen in!
An essay of mine on the ascendancy of religious exemption in our world and exemption’s relationship with what I call “establishment” and “disestablishment” (hint: it’s not really about “religion,” whatever that means). A bit from the beginning, which fortuitously uses some barbecue metaphors in honor of Independence Day: What can the minority in a democracy […]
I was delighted to speak with Anton Sorkin, Director: Law Student Ministries at the Christian Legal Society and Affiliate Professor at Trinity Law School, about several things in his podcast, “Cross & Gavel”: my own background and how I got interested in law and religion as a field, as well as the past, present, and […]

It gave us a chance to revisit one of my favorite old cases, Calder v. Bull (1798), and […]
These are the topics, rather close to home, that Kevin and I take up in this episode of Sub Deo. Listen in!
A follow-up Sub Deo podcast to our last concerning the Bruen case, in this episode Kevin and I reflect on the methodology of United Stated v. Rahimi and think about judicial prudence in light of a wonderful old classic of constitutional theory from the 1980s, The Rise of Modern Judicial Review, by Christopher Wolfe. Listen […]
In our newest episode, Kevin and I interview our friend and colleague, Joel Alicea, about his very fine new article, Bruen Was Right. Along the way we cover several broad and specific matters of constitutional interpretation. It was a pleasure to do this with two originalist friends of mine. Listen in!
