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.

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!
