Marjorie Dannenfelser is president of the national pro-life group Susan B. Anthony List.
The independence of the Supreme Court is crucial to preserving the original meaning of the Constitution and preventing a radical transformation of our laws and our country.
But with Democrats in control of the White House and slim majorities in the House and Senate, not only are basic rights like the right to life under daily assault, the very foundations of America are threatened like never before.
President Joe Biden last month announced a 36-member commission to study potential “reforms” for the Supreme Court, including possibly increasing the number of justices on it.
South Africa’s main opposition party, the Democratic Alliance (DA), has suffered a series of recent public embarrassments as a clutch of its senior figures, including its national leader, John Steenhuisen, a party provincial head or two and yet other members of Parliament such as Natasha Mazzone, have had their claimed academic credentials or the lack of them called into public question about whether they are well-enough educated for national leadership.
While these occurrences have made headlines, bruised egos, rubbished reputations in many eyes, and even forced a sullen withdrawal from public office for several individuals, they have not been the only times outings over false or absent credentials have occurred in South Africa. Political figures from the governing party and others have also been forced to carry out painful public retreats from claims in their CVs or to issue a painful admission if they have allowed such claims to be widely circulated on their behalf.

In his 2014 book “The Boys in the Boat,” Daniel James Brown told the story of how the University of Washington’s rowing team won an Olympic gold medal.
Brown’s latest narrative is about another bunch of working-class kids, whose lives were upended by the start of World War II.
“Facing the Mountain” details the predicament and the plight of Japanese Americans after the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. The book’s heroes are American soldiers and civilians, men and women who look in the mirror and see “Americans looking back at them,” only to go outside and be viewed as foreign enemies.
