George Will: When Everything Is A Crime
Congress has work to undo. What began as a trickle has become a stream that could become a cleansing torrent. Criticisms of the overcriminalization
of American life might catalyze an appreciation of the toll the
administrative state is taking on the criminal justice system, and
liberty generally. In 2007, professor Tim Wu of Columbia Law ... MOREAnger Over Killer Cop's 'Cover-up' Grows Llouder As Questions Are Raised Over His Fellow Officers' Actions

by Julian Adorney. Dating is perhaps the freest “market” in the United States today, and its lack of regulation can teach us powerful lessons about the flaws inherent in government regulation. Most people recognize the absurdity of trying to regulate romantic relationships. What many don’t realize is that this absurdity stems not from the nature of ... MOREAndrew Napolitano: Shooting Themselves In The Foot
Next time, consult the Constitution. The turmoil over the efforts by the State of Indiana to make lawful the decisions by operators of public accommodations to decline their services based on their stated religious views has died down because the legislature amended the offending parts of its legislation so that the new law prohibits denying services ... MOREPeter Holley: Kansas Wants To Ban Welfare Recipients From Swimming Or Seeing Movies On Government’s Dime
A downside of government being your daddy. There’s nothing fun about being on welfare, and a new Kansas bill aims to keep it that way. If House Bill 2258 is signed into law by Gov. Sam Brownback, R, this week, Kansas families receiving government assistance will no longer be able to use those funds to visit swimming pools, see movies, go ... MORE
Rand Paul Vows End Of NSA Spying 'On Day 1' Of Presidency
by Robby Soave. Taking back America. Rand Paul's campaign kickoff just concluded with a rousing speech by the libertarian-leaning U.S. senator from Kentucky in which he promised that his first act as president would be to stop the NSA's illegal spying on American citizens. He vowed to win the White House while clutching the Bill of Rights in one ... MORERand Paul Champions An Unenumerated Right To Privacy
by Damon Root. In his speech yesterday announcing his 2016 presidential campaign, Rand Paul gave the following reasons for why he is seeking the White House: I have a vision for America. I want to be part of a return to
prosperity, a true economic boom that lists all Americans, a return to a
government restrained by the Constitution. A return ... MOREJohn Stossel: A Right To Discriminate
Bake me a cake, or go to jail! Sadly, that is the new message from "inclusive" America. If you don't want to cater, photograph, preside over, sell pizza at, sell flowers to or otherwise participate in a gay wedding, you will be punished. If you don't want your business to pay for a kind of birth control that you consider murder, you will pay fines until your ... MORE
U.S. Secretly Tracked Billions Of Calls For Decades
by Brad Heath. The U.S. government started keeping secret records of Americans' international telephone calls nearly a decade before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, harvesting billions of calls in a program that provided a blueprint for the far broader National Security Agency surveillance that followed. For more than two decades, the Justice Department ... MORERand Paul Unveils Populist, Anti-Establishment Slogan

King: A Rising Insurrection Against Obama
Liberty rising. It’s a scary thought (OR NOT), but here it is: If some red states were to openly defy the authority of President Obama in the exercise of his constitutional duties, would today’s Republican Congress side with him? Or would they honor the insurrection? I wish it could be said with confidence that the legislative branch would oppose a ... MORE
Can Libertarian Rand Paul Win A Republican Primary?
by Mara Liasson. Rand Paul is not like other potential presidential candidates. The Kentucky senator, who announced his candidacy for the White House on Tuesday morning, doesn't fit neatly into the molds of either party. Socially liberal on issues of crime and punishment — especially when it comes to drug sentencing — against a federal ... MOREJacob Sullum: South Carolina Cop Charged With Murder After Video Shows Him Shooting Motorist in the Back
Bystander video reveals inconvenient truth. In a column
last December, I noted that video footage, while not necessarily
decisive in cases where police use deadly force, can make a crucial
difference. Here is a good example: Today police in North Charleston,
South Carolina, arrested
one of their own, Patrolman Michael Slager, and charged ... MORE
