Andrew Napolitano: Questions For The Nominee

A Constitutional Attorney General or another Eric Holder? Within hours of realizing that his party lost control of the U.S. Senate last week, President Obama nominated Loretta Lynch, the chief federal prosecutor in Brooklyn, N.Y., and an outstanding and apolitical professional, to be the next attorney general.

Thomas Sowell: Random Thoughts On The Passing Scene

Observations of a wise man.   I don't know why we are spending our hard-earned money paying taxes to support a criminal justice system, when issues of guilt and innocence are being determined on television — and even punishment is being meted out by CNN's showing the home and address of the policeman accused in the Ferguson, Missouri     ...

Country Moves Toward GOP On Every Significant Issue

New AP poll reveals verdict on hope and change.     Although you wouldn’t know it from the lack of media coverage, or even the AP's own write-up of the poll (which gives new meaning to the phrase "buried lead"), a new Associated Press-GfK poll offers nothing but harrowing news for Democrats and the media who love them. Buried in the "pox  ... MORE

Brian Fung: Think The Supreme Court Protected Your Cellphone From Warrantless Searches? Think Again.

It was supposed to be a simple day trip to Niagara Falls. Little did he know the visit might land him in prison for the next 100 years.
