Thomas Sowell: 'Messing With The Constitution'
Taking power back from lawyers in robes. In recent years, a small but growing number of people have advocated a convention of states to propose amendments to the Constitution of the United States. The reaction to the proposal has been hostile, out of all proportion to either the originality or the danger of such a convention. The political ... MOREVIDEO: Brian Brown - Supreme Court Resistance
If the Supreme Court declared the sky to be green, would it cease to be blue?
The Constitution, The President And Guns
by Andrew Napolitano. "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." — Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution In 2008, the Supreme Court laid to rest the once-simmering dispute over the meaning of the Second Amendment. In an opinion written by ... MOREJohn Vibes: Watch Politicians Snap When Alternative Media Journalist Jan Helfeld Asks Them One Very Basic Question
Can you delegate a right that you don’t have? Jan Helfeld is a political journalist who has been traveling around and asking politicians some of the same awkward questions that work to expose the illegitimacy of their authority. His questions were extremely simple and many times ridiculed as “stupid” by the politicians that he interviewed, ... MORE
Micah J Fleck: New York’s “Misgendering” Law Is Wrong
Another slap at free speech. The Republic just published a very informative report on a new civil rights guideline that could end up with NYC citizens facing hefty fines for what is being called “misgendering.” The idea, as the original news story explains, is that calling a trans person the wrong pronoun or title is now seen as a civil rights violation. ... MOREObama’s Top Ten Constitutional Violations Of 2015
by Ilya Shapiro. As we approach the final year of Barack Obama’s presidency, there isn’t much that the president can do to change people’s opinion of him, for better or worse. His legacy, barring some extraordinary occurrence — including an extraterrestrial one, as the holiday advertising blitz for the new Independence Day movie reminds us — is ... MORE
Thomas Sowell: Attacking the Truth: Part II
Merely applying the laws. The case currently before the U.S. Supreme Court, involving racial
double standards in admissions to the University of Texas at Austin, has
an Alice-in-Wonderland quality that has been all too common in other
Supreme Court cases involving affirmative action in academia, going all
the way back to 1978. Plain ... MORE
Cutting Constitutional Corners Won't Stop Terrorism
by Andrew Napolitano. If you were looking for a needle in a haystack, simple logic would tell you that the smaller the haystack the likelier you are to find the needle. Except for the government. Since Edward Snowden revealed the federal government's unlawful and unconstitutional use of federal statutes to justify spying on all ... MOREAndrew Napolitano: The Spies Who Ruin Us
The Fourth Amendment has numerous virtues. In an effort to draw attention away from the intelligence failures that permitted the attacks of 9/11 and create the impression that it was doing something — anything — to avoid a repeat, the federal government tampered seriously with freedoms expressly guaranteed in the Constitution. ... MOREJohn W. Whitehead: The Surveillance State Is Alive & Well
Life in the electronic concentration camp. Bottle up the champagne, pack away the noisemakers, and toss out the party hats. There is no cause for celebration. We have secured no major victories against tyranny. We have achieved no great feat in pushing back against government overreach. For all intents and purposes, the National ... MORENullification And The Kentucky Resolution Of 1798
by William J. Watkins, Jr. Because the United States was founded as a constitutional republic -- one based on certain specific principles, not power or privilege -- Americans of all eras frequently raise concerns about federal authority that bear resemblance to debates from earlier times in our history. A good illustration of this “echo effect” in American ... MOREThe Unelected Shadow Government Is Here To Stay
by John W. Whitehead. America’s next president will inherit more than a bitterly divided nation teetering on the brink of financial catastrophe when he or she assumes office. He will also inherit a shadow government, one that is fully operational and staffed by unelected officials who are, in essence, running the country. To be precise, ... MORE
