In defending the school’s decision to have Bob Casey Jr. speak there tomorrow, Catholic University’s law-school dean tells the Washington Times :

Mrs. Miles said that in June, when she decided to invite Mr. Casey to lecture on the importance of pro bono work for Catholic lawyers, she didn’t think a speech to be given in an academic setting in the nation’s capital would have much to do with a Pennsylvania election.
”I did know he was running for the Senate, but we are not in Pennsylvania, and this is not an election that would impact this community in Washington,” she said.

Who wins in Pennsylvania absolutely impacts that “community in Washington,” and a helluva lot of other communities nowhere near the Keystone state.
