Angelo Codevilla Passes

It is with heavy hearts that we share the news that our beloved friend, mentor, and senior fellow Angelo Codevilla passed away last night. We’ve lost another great soul at a time when we’re most needful of his wisdom and guidance. R.I.P. pic.twitter.com/Wuu105xe3L

R.I.P. Angelo Codevilla. He was so much more alive than most men that it is hard to believe he is gone. If you don’t know his work, start here.https://t.co/miRWOxoQuO

Meanwhile, a part of ConInc. attempts to hold on to market share through the only way it knows, character assassination:

Angelo Codevilla was killed by a drunk driver while walking home from church. And the Bulwark’s resident garbage disposal’s first instinct was to dance on his grave, which is surely the only exercise that gelatinous blob has done in the last decade. pic.twitter.com/FT64CbBwYn

A Straussian Fantasy

And a poor understanding of the Constitution:

The U.S. Constitution’s letter gives nearly all powers of government to the states, and reserves unmentioned ones “to the people.” Surely that includes powers over bathrooms, marriages, who competes with whom in sports, etc. It certainly includes power over elections. Customarily, we have regarded counties and cities purely as legal creatures of the states, enjoying only such autonomy as the states may concede. Though a federal statute granting broad autonomy over such matters to the states’ constituted sub-units and giving enough likeminded people the power to form units that enjoy such autonomy would run against more than a century of court decisions, it finds no barrier in the Constitution’s letter. Congress and the president can do this.

"The oligarchy that annihilated or perverted the American Republic’s institutions rules not simply to secure privileged access to wealth. It is equally, if not principally preoccupied with crushing the way of life of whoever are not its members or clients..." - Angelo Codevilla
