Continue readingDemocrats are denying Trump due process to poison the well with their Star Chamber Proceeding. The testimony of Vindman yesterday is but one example of it.

Is the Supreme Court about to curtail the administrative state (and perhaps circumscribe judicial activism) by holding that Art. 1, Sec. 1 of the Constitution actually means what it says?
