Learn the Founder's vision.

by Steven Greenhut. By ballot initiative. Regardless of one's take on the Supreme Court's 5-4 decision on
Friday forbidding states from banning same-sex marriage, it's clear the
ruling didn't come in a vacuum. Analysts said the court "created" a new
civil right, but public attitudes have shifted dramatically in recent
years. The court simply gave its blessing ... MORESupport Grows For States To Ignore The Federal Courts

MOREThomas Sowell: Supreme Court Disasters
Supremely lawless overreaches. Next president more crucial than ever.

rationalized) for ... MORERaisins, The Supreme Court, And Food Freedom
by Baylen Linnekin. High Court enforces Fifth Amendment! This was, to put it mildly, a big week for legal news. Given the

to forget that the week started off with a key Supreme Court decision striking ... MOREScalia's Impossible Possiblity: High Court Resigns Duties, Tortures English Language In Order To Save ObamaCare
by Robby Soave. The High Court plays politics.

Burwell, which preserves ... MOREHouse Bill Would Force Supremes To Enroll In ObamaCare
