Sheldon Richman: Conceived In Tyranny
The move toward centralization. If the American Revolution was in some large measure a tax rebellion, we should appreciate the bitter irony that the U.S. Constitution was in some large measure a reaction to a tax rebellion. It’s another reason we can reasonably view the move toward the Constitution — toward, that is, the concentration of power in a ... MORE
Walter E Williams: Our Forgotten Statesman
James Madison should have a holiday. George Washington, our first president, is probably our greatest and most decent statesman. We celebrate Washington's Birthday each February. But March 16th marks the birthday of probably the second-most important and decent American, James Madison. Madison became our fourth president, but his ... MORE

originalism is likely to fade away in the aftermath of the death of

Andrew Napolitano: Justice Scalia & Constitutional Fidelity
Integrity matters. When the sad news came of the sudden death this past weekend of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, I wept for my friend. We had developed a happy friendship during the past 15 years, one which I had selfishly hoped would endure. He permitted his friends to see all of him. We knew him to be in private just as he appeared in ... MORE

Andrew Napolitano: What If There Is No Difference?
What are the lovers of liberty to do? What if all the remaining presidential candidates really want the
same things? What if they all offer essentially the same ideas couched
in different words? What if these primary races have become beauty
pageants largely based on personality and advertising? What if our system of governance is so deep ... MORE
Cruz Makes Play for Libertarian Voters. Is Anybody Game?
by David Boaz. As he moved from evangelical Iowa to fiscally conservative New
Hampshire, Sen. Ted Cruz didn't waste a minute in changing his tune. In his Iowa victory speech Cruz gave a shout-out to libertarians, who are thick on the ground in New Hampshire. He declared, "That old Reagan coalition is coming back together, ... ... MORE
