On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: The US Supreme Court heard oral arguments today in the case, Carson v Makin, which involves school choice in Maine that is tied to state-funded tuition aid in settings where public schools are not available. Cofounder of SCOTUSblog, Amy Howe, joins to tell us how she thought the oral arguments went. Meanwhile, the US House took the first steps to finishing its list of must-pass bills. Democrats say they've opened the door to raise the debt ceiling. They also see the finish line ahead for President Joe Biden's Build Back Better agenda. Republicans say the economy is still in danger. And before departing for a trip to Kansas City, Missouri, President Biden told reporters that, “I made it very clear [to President Vladimir Putin], if in fact he invades Ukraine there will be severe consequences… economic consequences like none he’s ever seen.” Senior Fellow at the National Security Institute and Principal International at the BGR Group, Lester Munson, joins to share his take on the conversation yesterday between President Biden and President Putin. Finally this evening, the Holy Father honored Our Lady with a quiet moment in Rome. Because of the coronavirus pandemic he did not hold his traditional ceremony.
