The Anatomy of an Insult: When Dissent Becomes a Diagnosis (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“Trump Derangement Syndrome” is often used as a shortcut—a way to dismiss criticism of Donald Trump without answering the facts, the law, or the constitutional concern being raised. But what happens to a democracy when disagreement is treated as a psychological defect? When opposition becomes pathology, accountability becomes hysteria, and citizens who sound the alarm are portrayed as the real problem? In this episode of Justice ReDesigned , Steven Teske examines the history and civic function o
The Measure – Part VII: The Journey Home (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every journey eventually reaches a place where the questions change. When I began The Measure , I thought I was writing about politics, constitutional government, and the role of Christian values in public life. Along the way, we explored authority, integrity, conscience, mercy, and the teachings of Christ. But somewhere in that journey, I discovered the series was never ultimately about America. It became about me. After more than twenty-two years on the bench, I came to understand that the cou

The Measure – Part V: When the Standard Is Tested (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Throughout this series, we’ve explored the teachings of Christ as a measure of justice, integrity, and the responsible exercise of authority. But every moral tradition eventually reaches a moment when its highest ideals become difficult to live. This is that moment. Drawing upon more than two decades on the bench, Steven Teske reflects on one of the hardest lessons the courtroom ever taught him: justice is rarely about choosing between right and wrong. More often, it requires holding competing t
The Measure – Part IV: The Wrong Question (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What if the most important question isn’t about America at all? For much of this journey, I believed I was wrestling with a political question: Is America becoming a Christian nation? But after years on the bench—and months reflecting on Vice President J.D. Vance’s call to recover Christian values—I came to an unexpected realization. I had been asking the wrong question. In this fourth installment of The Measure , I explore one of the most important lessons I learned as a judge: justice begins n
