Precisely, Tom. Hold his feet to the flame. If FOCA leads to an upswing of abortions, plaster egg all over his face. There must be a price for his shucking and jiving. Time to draw up the bill.

He has spoken about FOCA, as he was asked directly about it at the forum at Oakland University. He said that it is "boneheaded" for Obama to support it, and that he has spoken to him about it. He also downplayed the probability of it being passed, saying that it had been "impending for 20 years."

I know in your busy schedule you were unable to upload those videos, but you have them to check to get a direct quote.

He was a prof of mine at Notre Dame, and I didn't care for him even then. But then who compares to Charlie Rice? ;-)

Andrew - thanks I'll look at them. My point was that Kmiec never brings it up himself. And far from being improbable, Obama has promised to sign it into law.

Archbishop Chaput was against the Human Life Amendment too, Tom.

Is it worth keeping a track record on Mr. O and his anti-catholic policies and how he inacts them and send them to Mr. K.? I think so.

Ah, yes, it is a nice bit of egoism to believe that the Other secretly wants to consume your culture.

Well, the Us and the Other reminds me of the virgin/whore dichotomy proposed by feminists. As Dawn Eden put it, we might be able to buy it if its proponent's sympathies didn't lie entirely with the whore.
