Schadenfreude Without Shame

I do not know what kind of world Eugene Volokh wishes to live in , but it certainly cannot be one in which Christianity has any relevance.  His post left me speechless and deeply disturbed.   Neverthelss, I appreciate his honesty.  No doubt many other Americans share his views and it helps to put a lot of what is going on in our country into sharper perspective.  I would assume that Volokh found the torture memos insufficiently aggressive in their assertions of executive privilege.

I just have a brief response to Rob's questions.  For a Catholic to embrace Eugene Volokh's view is akin, in my opinion, to a rejection of the entire New Testament.   One might as well reject the divinity of Christ.
