William P. Barr just gave the worst speech by an Attorney General of the United States in modern history. Speaking at the University of Notre Dame last Friday, Barr took "religious liberty" as his subject, and he portrayed his fellow-believers as a beleaguered and oppressed minority. He was addressing, he said, "the force, fervor, and comprehensiveness of the assault on religion we are experiencing today. This is not decay; this is organized destruction."
