Justice Alito’s Slapdowns of Transgender Treatments for Minors Go Viral, by Craig Bannister

By Craig Bannister, MRC TV - Audio clips of SCOTUS Justice Samuel Alito dissecting and disproving arguments against a Tennessee law banning transgender medical treatments on minors went viral after the SCOTUS justices heard oral arguments in U.S. v. Skrmetti (SB1)... At Wednesday’s hearing, Biden Administration Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar and ACLU lawyer Chase Strangio presented arguments on behalf of the plaintiffs... Their lawsuit asks (SCOTUS) to either strike down Tennessee’s law banning transgender medical procedures, such as hormones and puberty blockers, on minors or at least send it back down to a lower court for further scrutiny.

What Children Do, by Regis Martin

By Regis Martin, Crisis Magazine - ... if we are to take seriously the injunction Jesus gives us in Matthew 18:3: “I assure you, unless you change and become like little children, you will not enter the Kingdom of God.” This is not an invitation for the adults in the room to set about infantilizing themselves, but to become rather like little children themselves. And how do they do that? By keeping their eyes wide open. “Reason is like an eye,” explains Luigi Giussani in his signature work, The Religious Sense, “staring at reality, greedily taking it in, recording its connections and implications, penetrating reality, moving from one thing to another yet conserving all of them in memory, trying to embrace everything.”

Advocates Push for Finding the Lost Migrant Children, by Judy Roberts

By Judy Roberts, National Catholic Register - Amid the presidential campaign, the political football of illegal immigration figured prominently, but the children at the center of it were rarely mentioned... For all the talk about illegal immigration during the recent presidential campaign, one aspect that got little attention was the plight of thousands of unaccompanied migrant children said to have disappeared since crossing the border... Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, did raise the issue during October’s vice-presidential debate when he claimed the Department of Homeland Security had effectively lost 320,000 migrant children.
