Courts
SCOTUS: Twitter v Taamneh
The Supreme Court has released their decision in Twitter v. Taamneh. This decision was a unanimous decision authored by Justice Thomas with one short concurrence by Justice Jackson.

Political Parody As a Weapon, Part LXXXVII; “A predictable sad ending to an investigation that never should have taken place.”
Will We Keep Our Republic?
Ben Franklin famously said, “You’ve got a republic, if you can keep it.” That warning is particularly haunting now, because we seem on the verge of losing it – not from foreign invasion – not from revolution – but because we stopped caring about it.
The fertile imagination of E. Jean Carroll
Clearly, no one knows what did or did not happen in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room 25 to 30 years ago between Donald Trump and his accuser, advice columnist E. Jean Carroll. But after perusing a series of Carroll’s tweets from around a decade ago – that are still up by the way – her …
A Layman’s Guide to Penumbral Reasoning
Penumbral reasoning is absurd for contract law, and it’s also absurd for constitutional law. If the words don’t have concrete meanings, the documents they are written on become meaningless.
No Knock Warrants
“No-Knock” are overly dangerous and often un-justifiably in their use. As a rule I do not favor “No-Knock” warrants, where you kick the door and try to take control of the scene. Calling them dangerous is being generous. Not just for the cops, but the people in the building you’re breaking into. A point to …
The Real Constitutional Crisis is Upon Us
What happens when the constitution is ignored rather than respected? In that case it will cease being a guarantee of our rights or a constraint on government overreach. That will be a true Constitutional crisis.
We Don’t Know What Happened-Stop Trying To Shove Bad Policy Down Our Throats

State Supported Child Kidnapping
Star Chambers Coming for Your Children. Washington & Minnesota, have already legalized the kidnapping and mutilation of children without parental consent
America, A Nation Of Grievances
America has become a nation of grievances. Is anyone else but me tired of the whining? In 1911, Booker T. Washington wrote, “There is another class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able …
SCOTUS Stays District Court Order on Abortion Drug
If the Court chooses to hear this case, the stay will remain in place until the judgment of the Supreme Court has been given.
Spheres of Influence; The Church in American Society
America’s federal government is much bigger than it was ever intended. One of the reasons is the marginalization of Christ’s church in our society.
The Law is Our Last Bulwark against Tyranny?
By Dan Davis and John R. “Buck” Surdu We all have witnessed the aggressive, “creative,” and putatively unethical behavior of a few of our prosecutors. At the same time, they have facilitated significant rises in violent crimes by creating novel excuses for releasing the most violent among us, all the while they were focused on …
There’s No Statute of Limitations on Stupidity
Those who know me know that I am not just Catholic in name only, but a Mass every Sunday, and occasionally attend weekday Mass as well. I have article tags for the Catholic Church and Catholic Priesthood. And the last thing I want to see are more sexual abuse cases among the priesthood revealed. Philly …
Build Back Broker
Just as North Korea is neither the people’s, nor democratic, nor a republic, Build Back Better is nothing that it claims to be. After two years we are witnessing the destruction wrought by Biden’s vision for America and it ain’t pretty.
Crime and Sacred Cows
Thanks to the Biden administration, left-wing politicians and prosecutors across America, this country is experiencing a serious increase in violent crime.
Abortion Pills, the FDA and the Courts
In the aftermath of the Dobbs decision, litigation continues mostly in the States about what protections should exist for unborn babies. Within the past week, however, the federal courts have issued rulings about whether the abortion pill should remain FDA approved (and thus widely available for purchase). A District Court in Texas issued a ruling …
The 1st Amendment in an Increasingly Authoritarian 21st Century Society
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

There May Be a Gift for Alvin Bragg in that Pandora’s Box He Opened
Legacy Media: Bragg investigated Trump for 2 years, upended our legal system, and launched a media circus for this? This nothingburger is all he’s got?
