The nullification movement’s ideology is rooted in reverence for states’ rights and a theocratic and neo-Confederate interpretation of U.S. history.

I heard recently from one of my regular readers (I’ll call her “Kathy”) who shared her concerns about the future of our shared faith. Like me, she is a Roman Catholic with liberal religious and political inclinations.

Tom Daschle, a pro-choice and pro-stem cell Catholic, will serve as Obama’s Secretary of Health and Human Services. Though attacked in the past, he has a history of keeping church and state separate.
