Barrett’s inevitability will stabilize the Supreme Court
A unanimous Supreme Court decision about voting rights bodes well for Barrett’s nomination and for post-election integrity and stability. The Supreme Court handed down an interesting ruling yesterday. The issue before it in Andino v. Middleton was whether the federal court could ignore the South Carolina legislature’s refusal to use

Bookworm Beat 9/20/20 — the Supreme Court illustrated edition
Leftists, having gone insane over the summer, are dialing up the tantrum over the Supreme Court. Memes, both funny and wise, are beginning. And to help you remember the kind of justice Ginsburg was:

Ruth Bader Ginsburg — first thoughts and Open Thread
I’m abandoning the rule about not speaking ill of the dead. Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a politician in robes and we’re in a political season. Ruth Bader Ginsburg has died. These are my first, rough thoughts, and they’re not in any particular order. I’ve also skipped hyperlinks, although I’m pretty

Progressives See Themselves As Above The Law And The Rest Of Us As Below It
American Progressives want to be above the law and the Constitution, while treating Trump and his supporters as below the law and the Constitution. This can’t end well. INTRODUCTION We live in two Americas today, two parts that are in a cold civil war. The divide is between progressives who

On Constitution Day, Leftists assault the Constitution
For most of America, September 17 was “Constitution Day.” For progressives, it was a day to launch a multi-pronged assault on the Constitution. On September, 17, 1787, the delegates to the Philadelphia Convention signed their finished product, the Constitution, and released it to the states to consider for ratification. It

For the past near century — since FDR’s infamous court packing scheme — the administrative state (or bureaucratic state, call

President Trump is the “dayenu” president
No matter how imperfect Trump is, looking at his record of accomplishments, as to each one I say the Passover word “dayenu” — it would have been enough. During the Passover dinner, one of the songs Jewish families sing is Dayenu. It is in the nature of a “count your

Bookworm Beat 10/5/2018 — the “Leftists don’t speak for this woman” edition
The Kavanaugh hearings have served a useful purpose in that they revealed the Leftists’ vicious and unbridled lust for power to all Normal Americans. I’m delighted that it looks as if the Republicans, with help from Manchin and no help from Murkowski, will be able to drag Kavanaugh across the
