ABOARD THE PAPAL AIRLINER — Inserting himself into the Republican presidential race, Pope Francis on Wednesday suggested that Donald J. Trump “is not Christian” because of the harshness of his campaign promises to deport more immigrants and force Mexico to pay for a wall along the border.
“A
person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and
not building bridges, is not Christian,” Francis said when a reporter
asked him about Mr. Trump on the papal airliner as he returned to Rome
after his six-day visit to Mexico.

has led to a political fight. His replacement on the court could
lead to a historic change in the court’s balance of power.
There are two ways to think about the change.
One is to compare Justice Scalia with the person President Obama
nominates for his spot. The second is to think about how a new justice
might shift the court’s overall balance of power. Any nominee more
liberal than Justice Anthony Kennedy would make the justice at the
center of the court more liberal than in nearly 50 years.

WASHINGTON — There is a reason Republican senators are so adamant in their refusal to let President Obama appoint a successor to Justice Antonin Scalia,
a towering figure in conservative jurisprudence. An Obama appointment
would be the most consequential ideological shift on the court since
1991, creating a liberal majority that would almost certainly reshape
American law and American life.
