On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: With the start of school just around the corner, the White House laid out its plan to get children back in class. It released a document saying "safe in-person learning is possible." And after 6 months of negotiation, the long awaited details for the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure package are finally out. Senators will now push forward with amendments and attempt to pass the measure by the end of the week. Editorial Director of the Daily Caller, Vince Coglianese, joins to share his thoughts on the bill and ultimately how he sees this playing out. He also discusses the more expensive Democratic bill in Congress, the new mask mandates and the border crisis. Professor Robert George from Princeton University is among those who submitted a brief in a Supreme Court case regarding a pro-life measure in Mississippi. His brief says there is historical evidence that unborn children were understood to be persons by the framers of the 14th Amendment. Professor George joins to tell us more about the history and evidence he provided in his argument. Finally this evening, today marks the Roma Genocide Remembrance Day, when women, men and children were murdered by Nazi officers. The total number of victims who were killed in the genocide is estimated to number between 220,000 and 500,000. Rome Correspondent, Colm Flynn joins to tell us more about this anniversary.
