EJ Dionne and MS Winters might have thought there was terrible overreaching in principle. I did not. Notre Dame and Steubenville sued Obama’s administration. But many Catholic institutions did NOT sue Obama. I think a lot of Catholics did not think the opposition to the mandate was justified, even from the beginning. They may not have spoken up. But that didn’t mean they agreed. And many women–including many Catholic women responded to the “war on women” meme.

I think it would be interesting to ask the leadership of Catholic institutions about what they would do about coverage, apart from the pressure from the Church, on the one hand, and the government, on the other.

No one can reject from the feature of this video posted at this site, nice job, keep it all the time….

I think we are understanding one another. But I presume you meant to write “shouldn’t” in the second sentence above.

All of those tribes of North American constituted “First Nations”. What the term first nation implies is that those tribes had legal possession of the land. It could only legally be claimed by way of public treaty. This was outlined specifically by King George in the Royal Proclamation of 1763 after the seven year war.

And whereas it is just and reasonable, and essential to our Interest, and the Security of our Colonies, that the several Nations or Tribes of Indians with whom We are connected, and who live under our Protection, should not be molested or disturbed in the Possession of such Parts of Our Dominions and Territories as, not having been ceded to or purchased by Us, are reserved to them, or any of them, as their Hunting Grounds — We do therefore, with the Advice of our Privy Council, declare it to be our Royal Will and Pleasure, that no Governor or Commander in Chief in any of our Colonies of Quebec, East Florida. or West Florida, do presume, upon any Pretence whatever, to grant Warrants of Survey, or pass any Patents for Lands beyond the Bounds of their respective Governments.

And, on the point of those nation to nation treaties:

if at any Time any of the Said Indians should be inclined to dispose of the said Lands, the same shall be Purchased only for Us, in our Name, at some public Meeting or Assembly of the said Indians, to be held for that Purpose by the Governor or Commander in Chief of our Colony respectively within which they shall lie: and in case they shall lie within the limits of any Proprietary Government, they shall be purchased only for the Use and in the name of such Proprietaries, conformable to such Directions and Instructions as We or they shall think proper to give for that Purpose

In Canada, the Royal Proclamation is still valid and enshrined in the constitution and charter of rights. In the USA, after the revolution, they set up some other kind of administration but the same principle (I think) applied.

Treaties were supposed to apply “as long as the sun shines, the grass grows, and the rivers flow”.

Yes, what Luke said :)

It’s not just a subculture thing to support marriage equality. But speaking of subcultures, one that does have a majority support for SSM is Catholicism … http://abcnews.go.com/ABC_Univision/News/majority-catholics-support-gay-marriage/story?id=18684305#.UZ5_L4Li7wg

The Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca nations would be quite surprised to hear that the Mohawks were the “First Nation,” not to mention the Huron, Tuscarora, all the various Algonquian-speaking nations, and many more.

The indigenous inhabitants of North America were and are not a single nation or a single people, but many different nations. Treating them all as if they are the same is as inappropriatae as treating them as inherently inferior to the white man.

Absolutely.

Oh, sorry, I thought this was in reference to Konczal and Frase and a Universal Basic Income.
