Principles of Constitutional Interpretation, by Jon Roland

With the recent Supreme Court nominations, there has been a good deal of talk about Constitutional interpretation. But the words might lack meaning with many people, and the question as to how we are to interpret the document may be difficult to answer (even amongst many judges). Mr. Roland explains precisely what we are supposed to be doing when we interpret the Constitution.

With All Your Heart, by J.E. Heath

We wish to welcome Mr. Heath as a full-time member of the magazine staff. His debut article in that role tackles the Greatest Commandment. His meditation on the simple verse provides new insight and understanding into some of the most meaningful words ever spoken. And for those of you who do not remember what the Greatest Commandment is, we quoted the appropriate verse at the head of the essay.

You Can't Take the Sky from Me, by Paul Lytle

The film Serenity has been released, but has it lived up to the expectations of die-hard Firefly fan Mr. Lytle? In truth, it was nothing as he expected, but something very different and something much larger. Mr. Lytle explores the hidden plot of the movie, a plot that began in Serenity Valley and might not end for some time. We trust that this will be the last article on Mr. Lytle’s little obsession, but we cannot count on it.

Despair of Oblivion, by Daniel Morgan

John Updike is supposed to be a Christian, but does his work reflect that faith, even the mere peace and hope of Christianity? Mr. Morgan explores the work of the literary writer, finding not hope, but despair. But despite that, Mr. Morgan’s prose is surprisingly cheerful.

Whatever Happened to Free Speech?, by Paul Lytle

People are invoking the Right to Free Speech more than ever now, but it seems that every time those people demand Free Speech, another person’s Free Speech is abridged. This is not the way Free Speech is supposed to work. Personally, I thought this article a little self-indulgent, but Mr. Lytle is one of the publishers, and he can print anything he feels like. I mean, who cares about censorship?
