From last night’s Special Report with Brit Hume:

—On the VA Tech Murders—

CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: Fifty years ago [Cho] probably would have ended up, more likely, in a state mental hospital, than in a state university.
But from the pictures we’ve just seen, the kind of iconic photograph of the way he was methodical in everything he did, the one thing you can say psychiatrically speaking, is he was not as schizophrenic — that we colloquially think of as delusional or hallucinating. This is a man who planned it out. This was a very methodical — schizophrenics are quite disorganized. He wasn’t. He was too organized.
What you can say, just — not as a psychiatrist, but as somebody who’s lived through the a past seven or eight years, is that if you look at that picture, it draws its inspiration from the manifestos, the iconic photographs of the Islamic suicide bombers over the last half-decade in Palestine, in Iraq, and elsewhere. That’s what they end up leaving behind, either on al Jazeera or Palestinian TV. And he, it seems as if his inspiration for leaving the message behind in that way, might have been this kind of suicide attack, which, of course, his was.
MORT KONDRACKE: I mean, mentally ill people adopt whatever violent examples their art in the culture or in the atmosphere and the mimic them. . . . there was a finding that he was mentally ill and that he presented a danger to others . . . Maybe it should have been in a record that was accessed when he tried to buy the guns.
FRED BARNES: You know, colleges do not act like parents anymore. . . . the Virginia legislature voted unanimously in January to pass legislation that barred colleges from suspending or expelling a student on the grounds that he was acting in a crazy way or had . . . tried to commit suicide. . . . there’s just very little that colleges are allowed to do, even with a student manifesting the things that Cho was.

—On SCOTUS and Abortion—

BARNES: The American Medical Association has said there is no — there is never a health reason for having a partial birth abortion. . . . And it’s not certain that they are right or anybody else is right, but because of this, this is an area where Congress is free to legislate and that’s what the court said. They legislated and it was proper for them to do it.
KRAUTHAMMER: This is not a sweeping decision. It’s not going to have a sweeping effect. Kennedy, who was a swing vote here, was also one of those who wrote the Casey decision which upheld essentially Roe. So, it’s not going to be overturned in this court.
