Judge McConnell, on many people's short list for the next Supreme Court vacancy, gave an excellent lecture on public virtue and disestablishment of religion at the Founding for an audience at the University of Minnesota Law School on Monday night. The event was co-sponsored by the MacLaurin Institute and the University of Minnesota Law School Federalist Society, of which I am an officer.
John Hinderaker, of the infamous Powerline blog, was in attendance and wrote this nice summary of the lecture.
