What is it that needs executive privilege protection? Few principles are more important to our constitutional scheme than the separation of powers, which is precisely why President Obama's bogus assertion of executive privilege to thwart Congress' investigation into Fast and Furious is so inexcusable. Executive privilege is an important ... MOREDavid Limbaugh: An Arrogant And Lawless Cover-Up
What is it that needs executive privilege protection? Few principles are more important to our constitutional scheme than the separation of powers, which is precisely why President Obama's bogus assertion of executive privilege to thwart Congress' investigation into Fast and Furious is so inexcusable. Executive privilege is an important ... MOREKyle-Anne Shiver: Is This Republic Worth Saving?
We've got the means, but do we have the will? There's been a great deal of talk lately on the likely demise of this Grand Republic of ours. Very wise and scholarly Americans have taken to opining publicly on the dire state of things, all asking the basic question, "Can this Republic be saved"? Some historians have compared our current plight to that ... MORELou Rom: Jury Nullification In The Roger Clemens Verdict?
Perhaps a protest against minutia. The Rocket launched another unbelievable shutout Monday, leaving federal prosecutors holding their bats in disbelief at the end of a costly, drawn-out perjury trial. A day after the verdict, the consensus is that Clemens' acquittal doesn't mean he's innocent, but rather that the jury was unconvinced of his guilt ... MORE
Jonathan Hoenig: The Economic Police State
When the economy is not free, neither are you. Taking a page from the United States, Argentina announced plans last week to stimulate its stagnant economy with no-cost housing loans. The idea is to boost growth by intervening in the supposedly "free" economy. It won't work. Japan's decades of infrastructure spending, government- ... MORE
Brian Phillips: Social Problems And The Solution
Once the core problem is identified, the solution is simple. If we look at any number of social problems, we find numerous similarities. No matter the issue–education, energy, infrastructure, pollution, and much more–Americans look to government to provide the solution. These issues provoke heated political debates, with ... MOREJoan Lowy: Drones Spark Privacy Fears
Thousands of drones patrolling U.S. skies? Predictions that multitudes of unmanned aircraft could be flying here within a decade are raising the specter of a “surveillance society” in which no home or backyard would be off limits to prying eyes overhead. Law enforcement, oil companies, farmers, real estate agents and many others have ... MOREOle Martin Moen: Did Ayn Rand Eat Babies For Breakfast?
A clear and present danger to leftist ideology. According to Mahatma Gandhi, revolutionaries are first ignored, then laughed at, then attacked—and then they win. Reading George Monbiot’s piece on Ayn Rand, “How AynRand became the new right’s version of Marx” (The Guardian), has made me think that Gandhi could have included an intermediary ... MOREAndrew Napolitano: Can Obama Rewrite Federal Law?
Power without limits. Here we go again. Is the Constitution merely a guideline to be consulted by those it purports to regulate, or is it really the supreme law of the land? If it is just a guideline, then it is meaningless, as it only will be followed by those in government when it is not an obstacle to their purposes. If it is the supreme law of the land, what do we ... MORE
130,000 Elderly Brits A Year Killed By Gov't Health Service?
Top doctor says a 'death pathway' is used. NHS doctors are prematurely ending the lives of thousands of elderly hospital patients because they are difficult to manage or to free up beds, a senior consultant claimed yesterday. Professor Patrick Pullicino said doctors had turned the use of a controversial ‘death pathway’ into the equivalent of euthanasia ... MOREEmily Miller: Gun Ownership Up, Crime Down
The inconvenient truth for gun control advocates. Gun-control advocates are noticeably silent when crime rates decline. Their multimillion-dollar lobbying efforts are designed to manufacture mass anxiety that every gun owner is a potential killer. The statistics show otherwise. Last week, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) ... MORE
