Michelle Malkin:
Notes on the murder of George Tiller — *Late-term abortion doctor George Tiller was gunned down at his church in Kansas Sunday morning in a thoroughly evil, cold-blooded act of domestic terrorism. Yes, terrorism. Not “extremism.” Interesting how the t-word has been rediscovered.

Judy L. Thomas / McClatchy Washington Bureau:
Suspect supported killing abortion providers, friends say — George Tiller's body removed from church. — The suspect in custody for the slaying of Wichita abortion doctor George Tiller was a member of an anti-government group in the 1990s and a staunch opponent of abortion.
New York Times:
Suspect Is Identified in Killing of Abortion Doctor — WICHITA, Kan. — The suspect in the fatal shooting of one of the nation's only doctors to perform late-term abortions had professed an anti-government, anti-abortion philosophy in years past, some who knew him said on Monday.
Ezra Klein:
How Should Congress Respond to George Tiller's Murder? — There is an impulse to understand George Tiller's murder as a horrific, but comfortingly aberrational, act of extremist violence. That is the wrong way to think about it. Tiller is not the first abortion provider to be shot to death.

DIVERSE OPINIONS — In making nominations to the Supreme Court, Presidents care about diversity, which is a relatively new term for an idea that is nearly as old as the Court itself. In the early days of the republic, when regional disputes were the foremost conflict of the era, nominees were generally defined by their home turfs.
