But, he held correctly that the health… [read post]

Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment bans anyone from holding any federal office who has taken an oath to uphold the Constitution and who then breaks that oath by engaging in "insurrection or rebellion against the same." Donald J. Trump is precisely such a person. Trump took the Presidential oath of office at noon on January 20, 2017. Then, knowing that he had lost the 2020 election, he engaged in an "insurrection" on January 6, 2021. Trump tried to persuade Vice President… [read post]

[The left has abolished the secret ballot and legalized fraud-friendly mail in voting. now they want to destroy our independent judiciary] The Left wing attack on our traditional forms of constitutional democracy has had great success in abolishing cherished institutions like the secret ballot and same day voting.

[the lying liberal jurors and new york state democrats will twist his words to convict him for lying under oath just like they did with Michael Flynn] Any conviction obtained at the so-called "trial" of former President Donald Trump's alleged alteration of financial records will be reversed on appeal, if necessary by the U.S. Supreme Court, because altering financial records is only a crime in New York if you do it to conceal some other crime. Paying Stormy Daniels money is NOT a… [read post]

Vice President Kamala Harris has called for eliminating the filibuster to pass a national bill codifying abortion rights. Other top Democrats have called for abolishing the filibuster to pass a Supreme Court packing bill or voting rights legislation. Suspending the filibuster for your highest policy priorities, like guaranteeing abortion rights nationwide, is a very bad idea for four reasons. First, if Kamala Harris and the Democrats abolish the filibuster on an issue as big as abortion rights for… [read post]

[We need a district judge to enter a nationwide injunction putting a stop to these huge unilateral, presidential tax increases on ordinary working-class people.] President Trump blinked today after his "Liberation Day" tariff/taxes catastrophe led to the worst S & P stock market performance for the start of a presidency since George W. Bush's first term. Trump reduced his blanket tariff for most nations to 10% (for 90 days) while raising tariff/taxes on imports from China.… [read post]

[Three lessons for Attorney General Pamela Bondi.] Forty years ago today, Edwin Meese III took the oath of office as the United States' 45th attorney general. Gary Lawson and I argue in a new book, The Meese Revolution: The Making of a Constitutional Moment, that Ed Meese was the most influential attorney general in American history. It is impossible to understand modern law without understanding Ed Meese's role and influence in shaping it. The rise of originalism, the rediscovery of… [read post]

Whereas previously the secret ballot and same day voting was the norm, and one needed an excuse to get an absentee ballot, suddenly the Left declared it was… [read post]
