Micah Beckwith's quarrel with America's founders (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Indiana Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith loves to prolong old quarrels. Even ones that his side lost a couple of centuries ago. The latest example of this is his escalating feud with Indiana Treasurer Daniel Elliott and the stateâs Muslim citizens, as documented in some fine reporting by The Indiana Citizenâs Sydney Byerly. (Disclosures: The Indiana Citizen and The Statehouse File are partners and Byerly is a former student of mine.) Beckwith has called for religious tests for Muslims. Elliott has po
Trump, ICE and the American Revolution in reverse (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The immigration crackdown has come to Indiana. Agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs EnforcementâICEâshowed up in the Indianapolis metropolitan area and elsewhere in the state and began taking an undetermined number of people into custody. As usual, ICE refused to provide any detailed information about the people taken into custody and what crimes they had committed. Most, it seems, could be accused of misdemeanors at worstâand many may not have broken any law at all. And thatâs the p
Donald Trump's damage to the GOP (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Years ago, during Donald Trumpâs first presidency, I made a prediction. I wrote that, while Trump doubtless was going to do damage to many American institutions and aggravate Democrats to no end, he was going to hurt the Republican Party the most.

Thatâs what seems to be happening now. At prese
Dolly Parton and the sad goodbye (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In 2019, The New York Times declared that there was only one thing upon which a deeply divided America could agree. The hours after Partonâs death demonstrated that statementâs truth. Tributes to her musical genius, her generosity, her kindness, her loyalty to her family and home country, her commitment to literacy and a host of other virtues began flowing forth from every corner of the country as soon as the news of her passing broke. Parton was a gifted singer and songwriter, a natural and
Bonnie Raitt and her American dream (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Years ago, when I was about to attend my first Bonnie Raitt concert, a friend delivered a cutting remark. This was when Raittâclosing in on 40 and after nearly 20 years of touring and recordingâhad finally broken through to mainstream success with her massive hit album, âNick of Time.â As success so often does in our country, Raittâs produced a backlash. Listeners who liked her when her records sold poorly but were criticsâ darlings whined that sheâd sold out. âI preferred her wh
