A convent of Spanish nuns is facing a steep bill for having a priceless church organ repaired without the state's permission. The sisters of Santa Ines in Seville, southern Spain, decided that the instrument in their convent church needed to be fixed, and accepted an offer from a local charity to have it restored it for free. But the regional government of Andalusia did not see it that way, and has fined the convent a hefty 170,000 euros for the "unauthorised" work on the organ. It has, however, said it will let the charity finish the restoration work in time for Christmas.

Don’t Allow Canada and Mexico to Influence US Environmental Laws at NAFTA Talks
The fifth round of NAFTA renegotiations is getting underway in Mexico City. Unfortunately, American trade negotiators have proposed expanding NAFTA’s environmental reach. This is counterproductive and seems to be inconsistent with the Trump administration’s broader deregulatory agenda. U.S. officials should not only reject an expansion of NAFTA’s environmental regulatory reach in this round, they should work to remove any focus on environmental regulation from the NAFTA process altogether.

Neil Gorsuch: Scalia's views on the Constitution aren't 'going anywhere on my watch'
Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch touted his confirmation to the high court as evidence that the late Justice Antonin Scalia's legal thinking had triumphed. Gorsuch spoke at a dinner Thursday night held by the Federalist Society in honor of Scalia at Union Station in Washington, D.C., and said the jurisprudential philosophies of originalism and textualism popularized by Scalia had emerged victorious. "Tonight I can report that a person can be both a publicly committed originalist and textualist and be confirmed to the Supreme Court of the United States," Gorsuch said. "Originalism has regained its place at the table … textualism has triumphed … and neither one is going anywhere on my watch."
