Politics The Illusion of Law Judges will not save our republic. Photo by Alex Wong/Getty Images Law is power with lipstick. Contra Chief Justice John Roberts, judges are not really umpires calling balls and strikes. The rules and precedents they must interpret are too diffuse and contradictory; choosing which to prioritize or rely upon is a bit like looking out over a crowd and picking your friends. Decisions of the United States Supreme Court are better understood as corroborative. Majority, concurring, and dissenting opinions alike are the product of subjective reasoning, often telling us more about the priorities and predilections of their authors than the objective meaning of the law itself. Take constitutional interpretation. One…Open
THEFEDERALIST (Jimmy Murphy) - When Judges Cave To ‘Preferred Pronouns’ They Surrender Ultimate Truth
Courts exist to say what the law is. That duty begins with saying what is true.
THEFEDERALIST (John Daniel Davidson) - After 250 Years, Our American Republic Is Coming Apart

THEAMERICANCONSERVATIVE (Nicholas Mosvick) - Gordon Wood, the Bard of the American Revolution

Culture Gordon Wood, the Bard of the American Revolution The eminent historian died last week. The preeminent historian of the American Founding, Gordon Wood, died last week as the result of a traffic accident. Wood, a long-time professor at Brown University, had a profound and prolific effect upon the historiography of the American Revolution and the Founding in an academic career spanning six decades. Significantly, he was the first leading historian to emphasize the importance of republican thought and principles, both classical and modern, to 18th-century America, a tradition that later gave way to the totalizing force of equality and democratization. Creation of the American Republic (1969), fashioned from Wood’s dissertation under…Open
STONEZONE (Roger Stone) - The Black Robe Veto: How Unelected Judges Override the American Voter
The American voter marches to the polls, casts a ballot, waits through the clamor of campaigns and the cacophony of media prognostication, and delivers a verdict. Then, in an instant, a solitary figure in a distant courtroom raises a gavel and attempts to erase the people’s command. No cavalry charges. No tanks roll through the […] The post The Black Robe Veto: How Unelected Judges Override the American Voter appeared first on StoneZone .
The American voter marches to the polls, casts a ballot, waits through the clamor of campaigns and the cacophony of media prognostication, and delivers a verdict. Then, in an instant, a solitary figure in a distant courtroom raises a gavel and attempts to erase the people’s command. No cavalry charges. No tanks roll through the streets. No banners are lowered. Yet power changes hands all the same. This is the modern coup by injunction, and it is corroding the very foundations of the Republic. The Founders created three equal branches of government – Executive, Legislative, and Judicial – with each designed to check the excesses of the others. They did not create a judicial aristocracy empowered to nullify the expressed will of…Open
THEAMERICANCONSERVATIVE (George D. O’Neill Jr.) - Time for Courage
It is time to reclaim the American republic. The post Time for Courage appeared first on The American Conservative .
Politics Time for Courage It is time to reclaim the American republic. American patriots, what will you tell your sons and daughters when they ask why you stayed silent about the unprovoked American-Israeli attacks against the Iranian people, which have lit a blaze across the whole Middle East? To all the veterans who are appalled by these attacks—it’s time to be brave. So many of you served in our military with courage and honor, facing down real enemies on distant battlefields. The fear of being socially ostracized, labeled a traitor, or losing your pension and your place at the table may feel frightening. But courage isn’t the absence of fear. It is acting in spite of it. Just like Joe Kent. Joe Kent is no armchair critic. He is a…Open
