The theme of “unity v. division” still applies to our nation, which is so divided that members of the same party are turning into adversaries, and citizens are willing to use violence and fear rather than admit defeat. As long as Americans refuse to see each other as people, and instead see each other as “the enemy”, there will be no compromise. There will be no united country until compassion overcomes hostility.

In the US, we've gotten used to conservative judges politely refusing to admit their bias. One need not look far to uncover Justice Barrett's judicial core values. She is a devout Catholic and is pro-life, once a member of her Alma Mater Notre Dames “Faculty for Life” club. She once wrote that court precedents on the topic (including Roe v. Wade) are not “sacrosanct.”
