Jon Meacham

The March News noted the Supreme Court Historical Society’s recent “Supreme Evening” and the sublime peeving in the subjective weaving by its spotlighted speaker, historian Jon Meacham. He served up a lemon meringue harangue with “(our) democratic republic based on reason, where you need curiosity, candor, and empathy” is in the midst of an “epistemological crisis” due to denying the reality of inconvenient truths.

You teach um, Mr. Meacham. Indeed, fat cats in the high hats are canceling curiosity; “can’t” canons are cannoning candor; and the more secular the sympathies, the more ephemeral the empathies.
