'We can't talk about the thing we constantly talk about' is a regular theme of right-wing infotainment.

When something like DePape -- or Kanye -- hits the news, we're forcibly reminded that we really don't have a consensus or a common language about mental illness and how it is or isn't causal of actions and the interplay of illness and bad ideology.

Tomorrow the Supreme Court hears oral arguments in the most important case in the term.

Harvard discriminates on the basis of race in admissions, and it should lose. There are better paths to diversity than violating the clear commands of American law: thedispatch.com/article/racial…
