The Math And Science Is Clear: Gun Control Doesn’t Work.

(But it’s not really about guns, laws, math or science—it’s all about tyrannical power.) If you don’t have time to read my lengthy essay, just watch this. (You might decide to come back read the whole thing afterward—or even to share it.) Gun control laws not working is a big claim. While I already felt……

Never Talk To Police

Do You Know the Fifth and Sixth Amendments? Why in the world does every parent who is a prosecutor, a judge, or a law enforcement officer not just give their kids the above advice, but practically beat it into their heads? They drill into them: 1) Never, never, NEVER answer any police questions beyond just……

Free Or Cheap, No Bar-To-Entry Law School

While I’ve worked in education, I’ve never been formally employed at a university. I received free ministerial ordination through an organization unaffiliated with any faith tradition. After following Josh Kaufman’s Personal MBA blog for years and later reading his book of the same name, it occurred to me that there isn’t much reason not to……

Surrendering Sovereignty Is Unconstitutional

DO NOT COMPLY! Founding father and physician Benjamin Rush foresaw the dangers of a secret medical dictatorship. That’s right, any attempt to yield or usurp the sovereignty of the citizens, We The People, is inherently unconstitutional, unlawful, illegal and invalid—probably even in the context of a constitutional convention. Although governed, we are not subjects of……

KOMIC KAVANAUGH KAPERS IN KONGRESS

The earth’s most significant country was founded by serious men in a revolutionary experiment that has shaped human history; circa 2018, its government is running as farce. A Supreme Court nominee, an outstanding legal scholar with an impeccable judicial record,  is vilified by Congressfolk and media headlines because a woman finally noticed after some 30……

American Students Banned From Wearing American Flag T-Shirts On Cinco De Mayo May Have To Appeal To Supreme Court

– By Allan Wall – Remember the case of the California high school boys who got into trouble for wearing the American flag on Cinco de Mayo? Their attire was considered an insult and a cause of violence to Mexican-American students. This occurred, mind you, in a U.S. school, on U.S. soil. On September 17th,……

Some Thoughts on Same Sex Marriage

A poll last year found the homosexual community to be 3.6% of the American population. The question that keeps coming to my mind is why are so many people actively pushing this concept for so small a minority? Especially, why are corporations doing it? This is not economical or commercial in nature. This is not……

The Brief life And Long Death Of The American Constitution

An Epitaph: Its birthplace is debated, but the young Constitution was adopted in Philadelphia in 1787 and came into its full powers in 1789 after a brief childhood during which it grew a Bill of Rights. Its life in freedom was short; it was declared incompetent in 1803 by the Supreme Court and that body,……

Looking Past The Supreme Court’s Obamacare Decision

Mr. Chief Justice Roberts and his Left-leaning cohorts decided that the Obamacare individual mandate is a tax, and therefore, constitutional. Very well, what is a tax? Professors have described a tax as an lawfully enforced exaction by government used to pay lawful government obligations. Taxes are required to be recorded as government income when received,……

What’s Happening?

Well, consider: After Greco-Roman civilization collapsed into Christianity, things changed. Now, in America and many other places, things are changing again. The U.S. was founded as  Christian, though a non-denominational nation where citizens’ rights are unalienable because God conferred them, as the Declaration of Independence explicitly states. Of the U.S. Constitution, Founder John Adams said:……

LIBERAL SILENCE IS DEAFENING ON SUPREME COURT RULING OBAMACARE CONSTITUTIONAL

Et tu, John? This was the anguished outcry of many conservatives to Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts’ majority ruling on the constitutionality of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, affectionately known as ObamaCare. In a startling reversal of his historically conservative and originalist judicial philosophy Chief Justice Roberts wrote the majority opinion of the……

Why Won’t Utah Governor Herbert Stand Up for Utah Against Obamacare?

According to a report by Fox News and others, at least 18 GOP Governors have publicly stated they will stand up against Obamacare since the Supreme Court ruling was announced. Utah’s Governor Gary Herbert is not, however, among them and this is disheartening for Utahns, who deserve at least that much consideration and protection by their……

Dave’s Quote of the Day

‎”It is not our job,” the Chief Justice writes, “to protect the people from the consequences of their political choices.” But the Court’s most important role is to protect liberty when the political branches exceed the Constitution’s bounds, not to bless their excesses in the interests of political or personal expediency or both. On one……

A Memo to the President, Congress, and the Supreme Court

I think it necessary and proper to offer a remedial course concerning how laws are passed in our Republic. This memo is addressed to our Federal government at large. I believe all Presidential candidates, Senatorial candidates, House of Representative candidates, and Supreme Court Justices should be required to attend a 6 month course on how……

John Roberts, American Hero

I have never read a Supreme Court verdict all the way through. I didn’t read the entire decision on the Health Care case either (by the way, the full title is “NATIONAL FEDERATION OF INDEPENDENT BUSINESS ET AL. v. SEBELIUS, SECRETARY OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, ET AL.” and it’s a 193-page PDF file). But I did read……

Checkmate

Sometimes you have to give up the queen, a bishop and both rooks to expose the king. All day yesterday, conservatives divided into two camps – betrayed and “John Roberts is a brilliant, diabolical genius.”  After reading a lot of analysis, applying due consideration and separating my initial shock and disdain for leaving any part……

RESTORE THE FOUNDATION FRIDAYS – The Colonists and Colonies – Tea Party Edition

EXTRA —— EXTRA —— READ ALL ABOUT IT! HIS MAJESTY, KING GEORGE III, HAS DECREED THAT ALL COLONISTS SHALL PURCHASE ENGLANDS TEA. BY ORDER OF THE KING, BECAUSE TEA HAS BEEN DEEMED A HEALTHY SUBSTANCE, ALL COLONISTS SHALL PURCHASE TEA. IF TEA IS NOT PURCHASED, AN EXCISE DUTY MUST NEEDS BE PAID DIRECTLY TO THE……

The Constitutional Ignoramuses in Office: There Oughta Be a Test!

Any long-time readers of my various political writings are well-aware of some of my pet peeves. One is when those in office, who should know better, refer to America as a “democracy”. If they had ever so much as paid attention to the Pledge of Allegiance in school (or knew what the Constitution was) they……

“Sarah the Schoolmarm,” or maybe a “Hail Sarah pass?”

There’s a new AP story out that claims Obama’s recent intrusion into Constitutional controversy via remarks on what the US Supreme Court should do regarding healthcare is actually aimed at the election, not at intimidating the Court itself. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_OBAMA_COURTS?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2012-04-05-18-04-07 I suppose that’s possible. He can do it. It’d be dumb, but he could do it.……

Interesting thoughts on the SCOTUS and Obama’s attack(s) since Saturday

Yesterday on Red State, The Wink and the Nod posted a diary, Does Obama Know How the Supreme Court Voted?, that leaves some room for thought. Does he? The vote among the nine justices on Friday was only between them, with no witnesses. The line of attack, as TWATN and several of the comments point……
