A Hollywood studio also said it would do away with its mandate. Officials for the hospital system told the Santa Rosa Press Democrat that the mask policy applies only to staff, not patients. It said that it is “strongly encouraging masks for patients, members, and visitors in the hospital and medical offices in the Santa Rosa Service Area in response to this latest increase in COVID-19 cases.” Click for Full Text!

South Carolina Supreme Court Upholds New Heartbeat Law

In a splintered majority, the South Carolina supreme court in January 2023 ruled by a 3-to-2 vote (in Planned Parenthood v. South Carolina, aka Planned Parenthood I) that the heartbeat law that the state enacted in 2021 violated the state constitutional right to privacy. As I explained, Justice John Cannon Few’s separate opinion in support of that ruling was “the most interesting, and in some respects the most puzzling, of the three” opinions issued by the members of the majority, and it even strongly suggested that he would uphold a ban on abortion from conception.

On Monday, the Indiana Supreme Court voted 4-1 to affirm its previous ruling that the law did not violate the state’s constitution. The law was originally passed by the Legislature and signed by Governor Eric Holcomb in August of 2022. Enforcement of the law has been held up by court proceedings initiated by Planned Parenthood and the ACLU since then. Click for Full Text!

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has said that federal legislation addressing some of the banking challenges facing the legal cannabis industry is a priority this year. However, despite Sen. Schumer’s support, new concerns have emerged within his caucus that may endanger proposed solutions. The Secure and Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act has been billed as the answer to banking woes for cannabis companies and a version of it has been introduced in every Congress since 2013. The U.S. House of Representatives first passed the bill in 2019 and has passed it seven times in total. Some of these votes have occurred on a standalone version of the bill, while others incorporated ...

Despite its status as the highest-grossing indie film since 2019’s “Parasite,” “Sound of Freedom” has been dismissed as a QAnon fever dream by large swaths of the mainstream media. But that derisive label is “so ridiculous” to the film’s writer-director Alejandro Monteverde, who began working on the project in 2015, two years before QAnon emerged. “The origin [of the film] has been avoided, purposely or accidentally, in the media,” Monteverde said. “The origin will answer a lot of these misconceptions on the film.” Click for Full Text!

America’s democratic system was designed by our Founders with numerous checks and balances to ensure policy change is deliberative and truly representative of what the people want. In general, new laws are enacted through the legislative process: bills are introduced by popularly elected representatives, debated, and passed by those representatives in the legislature, and then signed into law by the governor. This process is representative democracy in action: the citizens’ will is implemented by the legislators and governor they elected. Click for Full Text!

One day after California green-lighted a massive expansion of driverless robotaxis in San Francisco, the implications became clear. At about 11 p.m. Friday, as many as 10 Cruise driverless taxis blocked two narrow streets in the center of the city’s lively North Beach bar and restaurant district. All traffic came to a standstill on Vallejo Street and around two corners on Grant. Human-driven cars sat stuck behind and in between the robotaxis, which might as well have been boulders: no one knew how to move them. Click for Full Text!

Some Parts of America Are Already on the Verge of Being Ungovernable as Rampant Lawlessness Spreads Like Wildfire

In order for a civilized society to function, most people have to willingly follow the rules of that society. If that happens, law enforcement authorities can deal with the few that choose to be lawless. For generations, that is how things worked in America. There was a high standard of morality among the general population, and so the police were able to successfully handle the few bad apples that insisted on breaking the law. But now everything has changed. As a result of decades of extreme moral decay, lawlessness is rampant and there are vast multitudes of young people that openly flaunt the rules of our society. In fact, there are already some areas of the country that are literally ...
