An excellent piece of historical and political analysis, and why "progressivism" needs to be fought at every opportunity! Totally violates everything that the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution stand for!

He nails it!
We’re going to miss Justice Thomas when he retires.

Which I hope isn’t for a good long while, at which point he is replaced by some equally conservative, and enjoys a long, peaceful, and happy retirement.

Smile WSJ published excerpts of this speech on Wednesday - link to unlocked article: WSJ 4/15/26 "Justice Thomas: Progressives vs. the Declaration"
quote:
Progressivism was not native to America. Wilson and the progressives candidly admitted that they took it from Otto von Bismarck’s Germany, whose state-centric society they admired. Progressives like Wilson argued that America needed to leave behind the principles of the Founding and catch up with the more advanced and sophisticated people of Europe. Wilson called Germany’s system of relatively unimpeded state power “nearly perfected.”

The Wall Street Journal regularly demonstrates that not all of the “legacy” media has nothing worthwhile to offer interested readers. Do I agree with or like reading all of their editorial opinions? No, but sometimes the truth hurts, and no one benefits from never hearing contrary views about important issues either.
