CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY OCTOBER 20, 2025
WORLDVIEW IS EVERYTHING. HOW ONE LOOKS AT THIS FALLEN WORLD, OR EVEN IF ONE THINKS IT ISN’T FALLEN, INFLUENCES WHAT WE THINK ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE.
ANTHONY KENNEDY IS A RETIRED SUPREME COURT JUDGE. KENNEDY WROTE THE MAJORITY OPINION FOR THE CASE THAT ALLOWS SAME-SEX MARRIAHE.
HE HAS WRITTEN A BOOK CALLED “LIFE, LAW AND LIBERTY.” THE WALL STREET JOURNAL REVIEWER REMINDS US OF KENNEDY’S WORLDVIEW IN HIS OPINION UPHOLDING ROE V. WADE WHICH WAS SUBSEQUENTLY OVERTURNED AND SAME-SEX MARRIAGE WHICH THE CURRENT COURT MAY RECONSIDER.
HE STATED HIS WORLDVIEW IN AN OPINION HE AND THEN-JUSTICE SANDRA DAY O’CONNOR WRITE UPHOLDING ROE IN THE PLANNED PARENTHOOD VS. CASEY IN 1992: “(EVERY PERSON HAS) THE RIGHT TO DEFINE ONE’S OWN CONCEPT OF EXISTENCE, OF MEANING, OF THE UNIVERSE, AND OF THE MYSTERY OF HUMAN LIFE.”
THIS IS SECULAR-PROGRESSIVISM AT ITS HEART. IF EVERY PERSON IS HIS OR HER OWN GOD, HOW CAN ANYTHING BE TRUE, INCLUDING THE LAW? THE COURT DIDN’T GRANT EVERY PERSON TO DECIDE WHAT IS RIGHT WHEN IT CAME TO SLAVERY, CIVIL RIGHTS AND A HOST OF OTHER THINGS. THAT’S WHY ITS CRITICAL THAT A POTENTIAL JUDGE BE ASKED ABOUT HIS OR HER WORLDVIEW BEFORE BEING CONFIRMED. I’M CAL THOMAS.
