The closure of a corrupt government agency is always cause for celebration. Not that it happens very often. As President Reagan once remarked, “The closest thing to eternal life on earth is a government program.” In the case of the now-defunct U.S. Agency for International
In This Issue: On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear a challenge from pro-life activists, led by Coalition Life, against “buffer zone” restrictions around abortion clinics in Illinois.
