The American Spectator: Ohio’s Gamble With Constitutional Democracy
In a recent Supreme Court case, Justice Gorsuch emphasized the importance of allowing policy decisions to remain with the people and their elected representatives in a functioning democracy. The court's decision to uphold a law approved by California's citizens signifies a move away from legislating from the bench. Meanwhile, Ohio is working to tighten its constitutional amendment process with a new amendment on the ballot requiring a three-fifths majority for approval, which is opposed by special interests and abortion advocates wishing to remove the right to life from the unborn. Upholding basic ground rules that bind us together under law is essential in today's society, and we must not confuse them with ever-changing policies requiring constant debate and revision.
Ohio's Constitution began as a concise and direct document, but has become cluttered and overlong due to a low bar for constitutional amendments. The state is working to improve this issue by making the petition process less lax and requiring a three-fifths majority for the referendum to approve a new amendment. Abortion advocates oppose this amendment as it would make it more difficult to remove the most fundamental of all rights, the right to life, from the unborn. We need to re-establish basic ground rules that bind us under law and never confuse them with constantly changing policies that require constant revision and debate. The vote in Ohio this August will determine whether the state will uphold its constitutional democracy and reject those who seek to subvert it.

National Review: The Corner: Bravery and Barbarism
The press covering the Ukraine war risk everything to inform the world, as seen in the life and work of Arman Soldin, an AFP journalist who lost his life in eastern Ukraine. Additionally, the Associated Press received a Pulitzer Prize for capturing the human toll of the war in Ukraine through 15 images.
Russian scientist Sergei Abramov has been placed under house arrest for financing the Anti-Corruption Foundation led by opposition leader Alexei Navalny, while Navalny's colleague Maria Pevchikh tweeted about Boris Obnosov, the man behind missiles killing Ukrainians, sending his family to live in the free, democratic West. Meanwhile, Ukraine receives support from Italy's prime minister, the pope, and Germany as Mikhail Khodorkovsky and his center continue their invaluable work. Dissidents like Vladimir Kara-Murza and Navalny survived murder attempts, yet both chose to return to Russia, knowing they could be arrested, imprisoned, or killed.

The American Spectator: Manhattan Parishes Host ‘God is Trans’ Art Exhibit, Yoga at Altar
The Archdiocese of New York is investigating St. Paul the Apostle in Manhattan for an art exhibit called “God is Trans: A Queer Spiritual Journey.” The exhibit, installed around the church’s high altar, features three stages of the queer spiritual journey: sacrifice, identity, and communion. The exhibit has garnered mixed reactions from parishioners, prompting the archdiocese to investigate the matter and speak with the pastor of the parish for more information.
Meanwhile, the Church of St. Francis Xavier, a Jesuit parish near Union Square, has also faced criticism for hosting a “Catholic Lesbians” community that challenges the use of male-centric language and images of God and advocates for female diaconates and priests. The parish also hosts “Xavier Yoga” in the church’s sanctuary, which has raised concerns of sacrilege or blasphemy. Archbishop of New York Timothy Cardinal Dolan is faced with the task of bringing these wayward sheep back into the fold.

The incident serves as a reminder to those in tornado-prone areas to stay weather-ready and follow safety guidelines, such as seeking shelter in a basement or interior room away from windows, during tornado warnings.
