My institutional responsibilities as head of the Ethics and Public Policy Center may keep my blogging light for a while. (Anyone who wants to help me with those responsibilities can do so here.) But I would like to highlight that this coming Tuesday, July 11, EPPC and I will be hosting an event, “Life and Death: Principles and Politics,” at which Ramesh Ponnuru and Eric Cohen will discuss Ramesh’s new book, The Party of Death. Not surprisingly, the role of the courts features prominently in Ramesh’s book. For more information, or to register to attend this event, see here.
