Andrew Napolitano: A Not-So-Happy Fourth Of July

How can we celebrate the degradation of liberty?      Do you have more personal liberty today than on the Fourth of July 2012? When Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence, he used language that has become iconic. He wrote that we are endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights, and among them are    ... MORE

Walter E Williams: Distrusting Government

To celebrate our Declaration of Independence.   Recent opinion polls demonstrate a deepening distrust of the federal government. That's not an altogether bad thing.

No precept may properly be made law if it violates rights. To defend the principles of the Constitution, one must understand what they are.
