Earlier today, I wondered why Republicans in Florida wanted to risk new avenues of lawfare that could boomerang on conservatives. After all, as radio host Trey Radel told Fox News Digital, all they need to do is look at how prosecutors and courts are manipulating the law to punish Donald Trump for deciding to run […]
Florida Republicans want to change defamation laws in the state to hold mainstream-media outlets more accountable for fake news. They might instead write a death warrant for smaller alternative media platforms, especially conservative media, while turning Florida into a “libel tourism destination,” one radio host warns. The axiom Be careful what you wish for applies here, […]
Why do this? It’s not going to accomplish anything except maybe to reinforce that the 2nd Amendment cannot be sidestepped by state courts. Is this literally virtue signaling? Whatever the case, this is just embarrassing. Hawaii’s highest court on Wednesday ruled that Second Amendment rights as interpreted by the U.S. Supreme Court do not extend […]
Let’s preface this discussion by reminding ourselves that predicting a Supreme Court decision based on oral arguments is usually a fool’s errand. Justices often engage in Socratic-method questioning of the lead attorneys, challenging them to allow a better exposition of their arguments, and to cover gaps that may have appeared in the motions.

Earlier this month, Space X filed a lawsuit claiming the structure of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is unconstitutional. The company has been embroiled in employment-related complaints with the NLRB and other federal agencies. If successful, the suit would immediately throw the NLRB’s authority to police the workplace into chaos and create a thorny […]
Ever since the Supreme Court put an end to Affirmative Action in college admissions many have noticed that Chief Justice Roberts seemed to offer a back door for schools looking to get around it. At the same time, as all parties agree, nothing in this opinion should be construed as prohibiting universities from considering an […]
Cities on the west coast have been fighting two 9th Circuit Court decisions which limit their ability to remove homeless encampments. The 2018 Boise decision and the 2022 Grants Pass, Oregon decision effectively mean that cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles can’t clear sidewalks or parks unless they have a bed to offer every […]
Just as Joe Biden wants to save democracy by banning his political opponents from running for office and putting them in jail, liberal lawyers are now arguing that the only way to save the Supreme Court is to unpack it by appointing six or more liberal justices. To somebody untrained in the arcane doublespeak of critical […]
Earlier this week former president Trump’s lawyers appealed to the Supreme Court to get him back on the ballot in Colorado. Here’s a bit of what they said in their filing: It is a “‘fundamental principle of our representative democracy,’ embodied in the Constitution, that ‘the people should choose whom they please to govern them.’ […]
Former President Trump has filed a request that the Supreme Court overrule the Colorado Supreme Court and put his name back on the ballot. Just over two weeks ago, the Colorado Supreme Court ruled that Trump’s name would be removed from the ballot on the grounds that he had violated the 14th Amendment. Trump’s attorneys […]
