Congratulations to Jennifer Rubin, formerly of PJM, PJTV, Commentary and the Weekly Standard, now the WaPo’s newest blogger. January 14, 2011 Toward a New View of Civil MarriageFederal marriage policy establishes many different rights and obligations – by one estimate, over 1,100. One appealing response to federal involvement in marriage is to say that all of these should be abolished. But in a new paper, Cato scholar Jason Kuznicki argues that marrying is a fundamental right, and the federal government may well need to recognize that fact, the better to get out of the way. “Some federal recognition of marriage,” says Kuznicki, “may strengthen families, prevent outside interference, and even save taxpayers money.”
Improving the Employment-Based Visa SystemEfforts to reform immigration are, at a minimum, delayed because of lack of support in the U.S. Congress. Attempts to impose more restrictive measures are expected in the coming year. Whether new legislation is pro-immigration or anti-immigration, it is important to understand the rules, quotas, and reality of the current employment-based immigration system if we are to avoid reforms that do more harm than good. The Importance of Civil DebateIn the wake of Saturday’s horrific murder spree in Tucson that left six dead and Rep. Gabrielle Giffords gravely wounded, some are using this tragedy to try to delegitimize opinions that they disagree with. Others would go even further to stifle debate. In a recent op-ed, Cato scholar Michael D. Tanner argues, “This country faces serious problems, and there are profound disagreements about how to solve those problems. …If we believe in the merits of our argument, let’s make it on its merits — without invective, personal attacks, or impugning the motives of our opponents.”
