Everyone’s taking the day off, it seems, so we’ll offer a classic episode of TEMS rather than do a live show today. I’m also pretty busy covering the blog in Allahpundit’s absence, attempting to keep content flowing in both the Headlines and main blog, so this will give me a day to get my feet under me. In last week’s Monday show, Timothy Dalrymple of Patheos discussed the ruling in the SCOTUS case involving the Christian group as well as his essay on Christianity and the Tea Party movement. In the second half, Matt Lewis of Politics Daily joined me to talk about the SCOTUS handgun ruling, the controversy over Dave Weigel, and Robert Byrd’s death, and much much more!

The Ed Morrissey Show’s dynamic chatroom will be open today on the permanent TEMS page — be sure to join in!
