The Rule of Law is almost dead in America

Posted on March 26, 2023March 27, 2023 by Wolf Howling

As Stanford Law School shows, the Rule of Law is almost dead in America, and it must be resuscitated if our nation is to survive.

Progressives collude to prevent investigation of attempted coup

Posted on May 26, 2019May 26, 2019 by Wolf Howling

By resisting an investigation of the apparent attempted coup against Trump, Progressives reject a core Anglo-American doctrine that no one is above the law. The “Trump-Russia collusion investigation” — 2+ years, $30+ million, and using all the investigative resources of government — is over. Given the specificity and nature of

Spying On Trump & A Progressive Game of Semantics

Posted on April 13, 2019April 13, 2019 by Wolf Howling

Proggie congresscritters claim to be shocked at charges about Obama administration “spying” on team Trump. Given the public record, that is itself shocking. This from the Blaze (internal links omitted): At a hearing before a Senate Appropriations subcommittee, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) asked Barr about a team he had indicated the

Progressives are engaged in a “de-civilizing process” that will end badly

Posted on November 26, 2018November 26, 2018 by Bookworm

Everything Progressives do is part of a de-civilizing process that will plunge us back into the cruelty and murder that make up humankind’s natural state. I am reading Steven Pinker’s The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined, which is very enjoyable because Pinker is a lucid, interesting writer.

Bookworm Beat 8/29/2018 — the “bitch is back” edition

Posted on August 29, 2018 by Bookworm

I’m in a snarky mood today and this Bookworm Beat has a lot to snark about, from McCain’s funeral, to Hillary’s server, to Pontiff scandals, and much more. Again, my apologies for the delay in getting this post up. Aside from catching up on things that fell behind during my

Conservative judges stand head and shoulders above Leftist judges

Posted on July 26, 2018 by Bookworm

Because they are constrained by the rule of law, conservative judges are invariably going to be better than Leftist social justice activists on the bench. The ostensible starting point for this rumination is a post I read at Power Line about Administrative Law Judges, which I’ll get to in a

New York Times has no standing to talk about the rule of law

Posted on April 11, 2018April 11, 2018 by Bookworm

I refuse to listen to the hypocritical New York Times when it suddenly discovers the rule of law and starts to care about a president’s associates. A Progressive friend was tremendously excited about an editorial in the New York Times. In it, the editorial board exulted about the fact that

Reviewing an online BYU high school Honors Government class

Posted on February 8, 2018February 8, 2018 by Bookworm

Reviewing Unit 1 of BYU’s online Honors Government class suggests it’s no better than the high school class; the only advantage is that students save time. There’s an interesting unofficial experiment taking place at Little Bookworm’s high school: Rather than sitting through a semester of Government (five days a week

Thoughts on the Alabama election and Donald Trump

Posted on December 12, 2017December 13, 2017 by Bookworm

It would have been nice to have kept the Alabama seat in Republican hands, but the truth is Trump doesn’t need it for now — he’s doing great on his own. I’d be lying if I said I was pleased about what happened tonight in Alabama. I strongly feel that

Outrageous Leftist hypocrisy about Arpaio’s pardon and DACA

Posted on September 7, 2017September 7, 2017 by Bookworm

Progressives claim Trump acted “unconstitutionally” with Arpaio’s pardon, while excoriating him for reversing Obama’s unconstitutional DACA program. Back in August, when President Trump pardoned Joe Arpaio, my Leftist friends were outraged. As far as they were concerned, he’d effectively pardoned the KKK’s Grand Kleagle. You can imagine then, how thrilled

Bookworm Beat 3/29/17 — web design and teaching an old dog new tricks

Posted on March 29, 2017March 29, 2017 by Bookworm

I have been a bit remiss in blogging the past few days, but that’s because I’ve been caught up in web design and lose track of time. I’m creating the web as a companion piece to my app project. Learning web design provides me with fun and frustration in equal measure.

The real Obama legacy (and it’s worse than Obamacare)

Posted on March 28, 2017 by Bookworm

The real Obama legacy is a toxic administrative statute, a corrupt judiciary, the end of the Rule of Law, and a world that is unstable and very dangerous. With only 1,392 days left in the Trump presidency, we’re already being told that, because Obamacare has not yet been repealed, Trump’s

VICE News uses one illegal immigrant to push anti-Trump propaganda

Posted on March 17, 2017March 17, 2017 by Bookworm

VICE News’ sob story about an illegal immigrant forced to cross legally into Canada to escape the evil Trump was truth to Leftist, but propaganda to me. The other night, I found myself sitting with a Progressive friend and watching VICE News, which is a Bill Maher production that runs

The Bookworm Beat 3/16/17 — the Rule of Law is Dead edition and open thread

Posted on March 16, 2017March 16, 2017 by Bookworm

While the rule of law is not completely dead, it’s dead enough to justify the title for this quick round up of today’s lawless news. The latest federal opinions would bar President Trump from ever again issuing an executive order. William Jacobson, of Legal Insurrection, has looked beyond the obvious

The Bookworm Beat 3/8/17 — Keeping Up With The Culture Wars

Posted on March 8, 2017 by Bookworm

To stay ahead of the Left’s gnawing away at every underpinning of Western civilization, we need to stay updated about the culture wars. This post helps. Modern wars are never fought on one front. They are fought on all fronts. Obama’s minions in government are trying to bring President Trump
