Rand Paul: Big Brother Says, 'Open Your Mouth!'
Overreaching government wants your DNA. The Bill of Rights is and should be popular. It is something most Americans overwhelmingly support. Conservatives love the Second Amendment and honest progressives defend the First Amendment. But it is sometimes harder for the public to embrace and champion the due process of the ... MOREAndrew Napolitano: An Assault On Freedom Of The Press
Government's response to inconvenient truths. The firestorm commenced by the revelation of the execution of a search warrant on the personal email server of my Fox News colleague James Rosen continues to rage, and the conflagration engulfing the First Amendment continues to burn; and it is the Department of Justice itself that is fanning ... MORETeacher Faces Discipline For Informing Students Of Rights
by Jacob Sullum. A
high school social studies teacher in Batavia, Illinois, faces
disciplinary action for informing students of their Fifth Amendment
rights in connection with a survey asking about illegal drug use.
The survey, ostensibly aimed at assessing the needs of students at
Batavia High School, was distributed on April 18. After picking up ... MOREA. Barton Hinkle: Obama's War On The Constitution
Where the "change" is focused. A physician’s expertise makes him capable of inflicting great harm, noted Plato a couple thousand years ago, and no one is better positioned to steal than a guard. So perhaps we should not be surprised that the most conspicuous foe of liberty and the Bill of Rights turns out to be a former professor of constitutional ... MOREDr. Milton R. Wolf: Tyranny In Our Time
American must repudiate the political class. Americans are beginning to recognize the disturbing similarities between President Obama and the fallen Richard Nixon, but the comparison that may matter more is between Mr. Obama and King George III. “He
has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of
Officers to ... MORE
Ira Stoll: The IRS v. The First Amendment
Whatever happened to "Congress shall make no law"? Of all the discouraging news in the scandal involving President Obama’s Internal Revenue Service, the most illuminating is that one of the things that triggered additional scrutiny from the IRS for groups applying for tax-exempt status was any plan for “educating on the constitution ... MOREWhy All Of Us Should Mistrust The Government
by Andrew Napolitano. It should come as no surprise that President Obama told Ohio State students at graduation ceremonies last week that they should not question authority and they should reject the calls of those who do. He argued that "our brave, creative, unique experiment in self-rule" has been so successful that trusting the government is the same ... MOREWashington Times: A Good Day For The 2nd Amendment
Common sense prevails in Senate! The president raged. The mayor of New York frothed. Joe Biden cried. But at the end of the day, common sense prevailed. The Senate killed the effort to unreasonably expand background checks for buyers of guns. The measure is not quite graveyard dead; it can be brought up again, but prospects for ... MOREScott Miller: Nullification Is For Nutcases? Hardly
After all, there is a Tenth Amendment. Some people want you to believe that only crazy people support
resisting federal power on a state or local level. They’re wrong. In a snarky, condescending article titled, “SC Nullification – Are these guys nuts?,”
published in several Palmetto State newspapers, Phil Noble promoted the
most repeated ... MORERand Paul: Rising In Defense Of The Constitution
Insisting on a meaningful Bill of Rights. On Wednesday, I rose to begin a filibuster on the nomination of John O. Brennan to be director of the CIA. I stood up with the intent of speaking until I was no longer able to speak. I vowed to speak as long as it took, until an alarm was sounded from coast to coast that our Constitution is important, that our rights to ... MORECharles C. W. Cooke: Repeal the 17th Amendment!
Re-empower the states. In our grubby, unhelpful political lexicon, certain words exist solely to end conversations. The most prominent such word is “racist.” Less popular, but by no means less potent, are “democracy” and “rights.” When welded together as “democratic rights,” the pair becomes all-powerful — strong enough to send ... MOREWilliam A. Levinson: Never Let A Dead Child Go To Waste
Let's act quick, before their heads clear. Barack Obama, Dianne Feinstein, Michael Bloomberg, Andrew Cuomo, and their cohorts followed Rahm Emanuel's advice to "never let a good crisis go to waste" when they used the Sandy Hook shooting to renew their assault on the Bill of Rights. Former Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell added, in effect, that ... MORELook Who's Mocking Fascist Fear-Mongering Now
by A. Barton Hinkle. One of the arguments we’re hearing in the current debate about gun control is what might be called the anti-anti-tyranny argument. Coming from liberals, it’s a little rich. Some gun-rights supporters say the Second Amendment’s purpose is not merely to protect the right to hunt or defend yourself, but to guard against ... MORE
Victor Davis Hanson: The War Between The Amendments
Parity to an all-powerful, centralized government. The horrific Newtown, Conn., mass shooting has unleashed a frenzy to
pass new gun-control legislation. But the war over restricting firearms
is not just between liberals and conservatives; it also pits the first
two amendments to the U.S. Constitution against each other. Apparently, in the sequential ... MORE
Supreme Court Makes Ruling In Favor Of Private Property
Government no longer free to cause flooding. Supreme Court boosted property rights Tuesday, ruling unanimously government is not automatically exempt from liability when it causes flooding. In an Arkansas case, the justices said there is no automatic exemption from the Constitution's takings clause in the Fifth Amendment -- ... MORERon Resnick: How Reality TV Saved The 2nd Amendment
An unexpected source promotes liberty. I used to dream that someday I would make a fortune, retire from whatever business occasioned the fortune, and endow what I would call the Second Amendment Litigation Trust. The sole purpose of this trust would be to finance Second Amendment attorneys to prosecute litigation designed to result ... MOREDeborah Weiss: The War Against Free Speech Rages On
The president should defend American principles. The Obama administration conveniently scapegoated a short, anti-Islam video for the murderous attacks on the US consulate on September 11, 2012. Now that the State Department has confessed its knowledge that Benghazi was the result of a pre-planned terrorist attack, many in both the mainstream ... MORE
