I was driving back to the hotel from work via the TransCanada Highway (Vancouver is spectacular by the way), I was thinking about the left’s reaction to the Hobby Lobby decision…and other decisions that didn’t go their way. Isn’t it remarkable how they act like immature, spoiled children when they don’t get their way? They…
We have been chatting a lot about Obama being a usurper based on the established fact that he tends to skirt, if not actually cross over, the line of constitutionality. His presidency, more than any other, has caused me to deeply consider just exactly what it is that has kept us generally on track for…
Iyla Somin at the Volokh Conspiracy notes the role of Eminent Domain in the downfall of Detroit: Detroit’s sixty year decline, culminating in its recent bankruptcy, has many causes. But one that should not be ignored is the city’s extensive use of eminent domain to transfer property to politically influential private interests. For many years, Detroit aggressively…
I have made a point of stating that we do have a duty to respect the law and that the Supreme Court of John Marshall established itself in Marbury v. Madison as the ultimate arbiter of constitutionality of American law. I have also made the point that the basis for this assertion is that the…
SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES No. 12–307 UNITED STATES, PETITIONER v. EDITH SCHLAIN WINDSOR, IN HER CAPACITY AS EXECUTOR OF THE ESTATE OF THEA CLARA SPYER, ET AL. ON WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SECOND CIRCUIT [June 26, 2013] JUSTICE SCALIA, with whom JUSTICE THOMAS joins,and with…
DOMA knocked down 5-4. Remember when I quoted the significance of Marbury v. Madison and the Marshall Court? Justice Scalia gets it but the Liberals/Federalists on the court choose to continue Marshall’s legacy. Here’s the first part of Scalia’s dissenting opinion: JUSTICE SCALIA, with whom JUSTICE THOMAS joins, and with whom THE CHIEF JUSTICE joins as…
Didn’t know that did you? Oh, don’t worry, “we will just have to pass it to find out what’s in it” wink, wink. Obama during the 2008 Presidential campaign. WE CANNOT CONTINUE to rely ONLY ON OUR MILITARY in order to ACHIEVE the national security OBJECTIVES that WE’VE SET. We’ve gotta have a CIVILIAN NATIONAL…
Ladies and Gentlemen, What is the Duty of the Supreme Court? This is Simple! “the power of the people is superior to both, ” (the legislature and the judiciary) , AND “duty (of the Courts) it must be to declare all acts contrary to the manifest tenor of the Constitution void. Without this, all the reservations of particular…
We lost. I’ve been studying the majority opinion on Obamacare and there are no two ways around it – supporters of limited government and the Constitution lost a battle to turn back the tide of “progressivism” in a big way. What is so stunning is not that we lost – because populist “progressive” programs have…
I have had the opportunity to read over the opinions in today’s ruling. Those of Ginsberg are shocking in their anti- constitutional content. If you think Roberts’ opinion opens us up to massive government control and intrusion, Ginsberg’s is absolutely jaw-dropping in its scope and content. Justice Ginsberg clearly is of the opinion that a…
Ruth Bader Ginsberg leans left… No, seriously – she is leaning to the left.
When our founders drafted our Constitution, they understood our new Government would only be as JUST as the people who held office were ENLIGHTENED. Much thought was given to the QUALIFICATIONS, or prerequisites, required of the those that would be eligible to hold office. Contrary to our general understanding today, NOT just anyone would be…
Actually, 1994. Or as this article from ComputerWorld states – our cars have been watching us since then: What cars are equipped to narc on you? According to Crash Forensics, “As of 2011, GM vehicles as old as 1994 have accessible data, Ford vehicles as old as 2001 have accessible data, Chrysler vehicles as old…

If you aren’t familiar with the Sackett case, it is here and it is a very scary case of a government agency run amok. This is an example of administrative law used to strip a citizen of their constitutional rights. (Scott Johnson at Powerline has two great posts on ad law here and here.) From…
