We discussed the first part of the second chapter last time (8 Jan 2026) and this time we continue with the second half of Chapter 2, pp. 16 to through 23.Stephen Macedo published "The New Right v. The Constitution" with The CATO Institute in 1986. We're going to make a fair use and do a transformative reading of the book.CATO offers a free download of the book here: https://www.cato.org/books/new-right-v-constitutionWe'd like to thank Stephen Macedo for writing the book and to thank CATO for making this material available in publishing it.
