"Why Our Constitution Secures Liberty, Not Democracy"
Post Date: 2024-11-21 09:14:53 by Mudboy Slim
3 Comments
In his newly released book, No Democracy Lasts Forever, University of California law school dean Erwin Chemerinsky provides the latest in a series of unfortunate attacks on the United States Constitution. Despite his academic accomplishments, Chemerinsky has put forward a thesis that is fatally flawed. While he asserts our Constitution fails to deliver democracy to the masses, this was never its purpose. Our Constitution provides a legal platform for a balanced and ordered liberty, not a majoritarian democracy. It was written to form a federal government, balance power among its branches, protect the smaller states from the larger states, and secure the individual rights of those governed. ...
"Restoring a ‘Great Moderation’ in Fiscal Policy"
Post Date: 2024-10-23 09:12:39 by Mudboy Slim
1 Comments
One of the most important gifts that we can pass along to the next generation is a balanced budget. During the Great Moderation of the 1990s, it appeared that we had achieved this goal. The statutory rules enacted by Congress in those years required Congress to bring expenditure into balance with revenues in the near term. With these statutory fiscal rules in place, the country experienced rapid economic growth. After decades of deficit spending and debt accumulation, federal expenditures were brought into balance with federal revenues, and the debt was stabilized. Over the past two decades, however, we have virtually abandoned rules- based fiscal policies. The statutory rules enacted by ...
What the framers said about the 14th Amendment's disqualification clause: Analysis
Post Date: 2023-12-30 00:12:59 by A K A Stone
0 Comments
The intent of the 14th Amendment's disqualification clause is central to the debate over whether former President Donald Trump's name should be stricken from GOP primary ballots now that the issue has landed at the steps of the Supreme Court. Judges and officials across many states around the country are now grappling with language that was written a year after the end of the Civil War. The words "insurrection" and "rebellion" had certain meanings to those who had them added to the Constitution, and a key question for arbiters now is whether the language drafted a century-and-a-half ago should be applied to Trump's role in the Jan. 6 riot. As it originally ...

Ukrainian parliament votes to ban Orthodox Church
Post Date: 2023-10-21 14:47:45 by Orthodoxa
1 Comments
The Ukrainian parliament gave initial approval on Thursday to a law that would ban the Moscow-linked Ukrainian Orthodox Church after Kyiv accused it of collaborating with Russia following last year’s invasion. The UOC – which is distinct from the Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU) – says it no longer aligned with the Russian Orthodox Church and denies the charges levelled at it by Kyiv and said the draft law would be unconstitutional. Yaroslav Zheleznyak, a member of parliament, said on the Telegram messaging app that deputies had voted to support the bill in its first reading. It has to be backed in a second reading and approved by the president to go in to force. The law ...
Supreme Court Needs to End Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

On October 10, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a case of interest and significance to politicians and people alike: the case of Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) v. Community Financial Services Association of America. At the heart of the matter lies a narrow, yet critical question, one that strikes at the very foundation of our constitutional order: Is the CFPB’s peculiar and historically unprecedented practice of simply sending demand letters to the Federal Reserve a violation of the appropriations clause? In this pivotal debate, progressive judges seem to pivot away from the black letter of our Constitution, leaning instead toward statistics to justify this ...

Schools cannot ban 'merely offensive' speech on gender identity, appeals court rules

Fifty-six years after it exempted antiwar teenagers from First Amendment protections while on campus, a federal appeals court in America's heartland affirmed students' speech rights in public schools on an equally contentious subject today. The St. Louis-based 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a preliminary injunction Monday against an Iowa school district policy that threatens suspension and expulsion for "intentional and/or persistent refusal … to respect" a peer's gender identity, finding it's likely too vague to survive legal scrutiny.

The Curious Case of How Mike and Michael Saved America from the Globalists
Post Date: 2023-09-20 23:20:10 by Charles_Byrd

The current twist in the plan to put globalists in charge of America, under the pretext of saving society from infectious disease, has two tracks—a treaty track and a track to modify international health regulations. Boiled down to their essence, both tracks aim to hand the WHO control over most aspects of Americans’ lives, to be triggered by the WHO allegedly determining that a new pandemic is underway. Dr. Meryl Nass has taken the lead in warning about the current iteration of the plan, and, on September 1, 2023, she was interviewed by Del Bigtree about it. Nass is the founder of Door to Freedom, and its website has information about the looming threat of WHO control. James ...
‘Muzzling Speech’: Federal Appeals Court Shoots Down California Gun Ad Law

A federal appeals court Wednesday ruled against a California law banning certain gun advertisements. The California law prohibits firearm advertisements that could be construed as “designed, intended or reasonably appears attractive to minors.” But since minors can’t purchase firearms, and California already takes steps to prevent youth gun violence, the laws serves the purpose of banning “truthful” gun advertisements in a sweeping and “extensive” manner, according to the ruling by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

I am enormously grateful to Law & Liberty for recruiting such heavy hitters to respond to my lead essay. What a joy to get such humbling and instructive comments, each brimming with its author’s characteristic intellectual virtues. I thank all four responders and only regret that the imperative for brevity in this summary reply means I can only scratch the surface of what they had to offer. They should know that I have more to say, especially by way of gratitude and admiration. James Stoner brilliantly deepens and sharpens the case for the Constitution’s unifying potential in several important respects, and he rightly ends up worrying that the problem we face now is a ...
Does Common Law Survive the “Age of Statutes”?
Post Date: 2023-09-01 01:07:10 by Charles_Byrd

Is forty years too far along for a book review? Another look at A Common Law for the Age of Statutes by eminent Second Circuit Judge and Yale Law professor Guido Calabresi suggests no. Published in 1982, the book originated in his 1977 delivery of the Oliver Wendell Holmes Lectures at Harvard Law School. If not the cure for what ails the Anglo-American legal tradition, it at least proposes one road out of the precarious place at which our system has arrived over the last century or so. Through Calabresi, more about him here, perhaps this reviewer can invite more discussion of both the common law’s problems and the need for solutions. Click for Full Text!
The Incorporation Doctrine Waters Down the Second Amendment
Post Date: 2023-08-31 23:38:02 by Charles_Byrd
0 Comments
Many people want the federal government to protect the right to keep and bear arms by applying the Second Amendment to the states and using it to limit state gun control. The problem with this strategy is that we almost always end up with a lower standard for the right to keep and bear arms that then gets applied nationwide. Furthermore, putting the feds in charge of protecting the right to keep and bear arms gives states the cover they need to implement more gun control instead of limiting it. That’s because even though states can technically impose limits on their government that go beyond what the Supreme Court dictate, they rarely do. Any federal court decision usually becomes the ...
How to Lose Sight of the Constitution

The Harvard law professor Cass Sunstein is a prolific author with very wide-ranging interests. He has written (and in some cases co-authored) books on behavioral economics; on lies, rumors, and conspiracy theories; on republican theory and political conflict; on feminism; on free speech and dissent; on animal rights; even on Star Wars—and I’m leaving some out. In many of the fields in which Sunstein has written, I would hardly be qualified to judge his work. (Aren’t the Ewoks just really small Wookiees?) But his latest effort, How to Interpret the Constitution, is one that I can confidently say is very disappointing. This brief book has three primary characteristics: ...

In forty years of teaching, the most difficult or at least the most disconcerting question I have been asked came during a summer seminar when I was lecturing on the Constitution and on Lincoln’s attitude towards it. I had been reviewing the various compromises made at the Philadelphia Convention concerning slavery when a student asked, point blank, whether, if I had been there, would I have voted for them. I paused. It was easy enough to explain what the compromises were, why those who made them thought them necessary for the document’s completion and ratification, how the Constitution contributed to the growth and success of the United States, and even how the Constitution ...
KOSA Still Poses a Grave Threat to First Amendment Rights

Today, TechFreedom sent a letter to the U.S. Senate Commerce Committee reiterating our concerns about the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA). Last year, joined by leading Internet law and First Amendment scholars, we explained that KOSA would force platforms to age-verify their users and impose an undefinable and unmeetable duty of care—violating users’ First Amendment rights to anonymous expression and ensuring that minors will be cut off from information they are constitutionally entitled to receive. This year’s iteration of KOSA poses those same problems, only with slightly different words. “Platforms will still have to age-verify users, violating their First Amendment ...

Not long ago I spoke to the fearless Heather Mac Donald, author of When Race Trumps Merit, about how the toxic doctrine of “disparate impact” has undermined standards of all kinds, all across society. Symphony orchestras, for example, are known for holding their auditions behind a screen, to make absolutely certain that individual musicians’ characteristics do not interfere with the dispassionate analysis of their musical abilities. But because this impartial process yields orchestras that are too white and Asian (and therefore has a “disparate impact” on blacks), there is buzz about taking the screens down for the precise purpose of allowing orchestras to ...

Should professors at state universities be allowed to write about controversial subjects outside of class? Should those professors be allowed to publish articles in their private lives that might offend some people at the university where they teach?

There are people who believe that the answer to those questions is “no,” and they are prosecuting a professor for presenting the results of a scientific study in his lecture. Click for Full Text!

AHMAD ALUSH obtained permission from Swedish authorities last week to hold a protest outside the Israeli embassy in Stockholm on Saturday. He intended, he said, to publicly burn a Torah and a Christian Bible in retaliation for the burning of a Quran in front of Stockholm's largest mosque last month. The burning of the Quran on June 28 — for which Swedish police had also granted permission — set off a deluge of outrage. The governments of numerous Islamic countries condemned the action. So did the US State Department and the president of Israel. With tensions running high, Alush's plan to set fire to copies of the Jewish and Christian scriptures was guaranteed to make an ...
