The Court Just Rewrote the 14th Amendment

This was never supposed to be a hard case. The text of the 14th Amendment was written by men who had just buried six hundred thousand Americans fighting over whether a human being could be property. It was written to settle one specific question. Today the Court used it to settle a completely different one.

What Michigan Knew in 2023 That the Left Still Won’t Admit

In June 2023, the city council of Hamtramck, Michigan voted unanimously to ban the Pride flag from public property. Every council member was Muslim.

Then that same council told Pride organizers "No."

Election Day is not a ‘Day’ Anymore

When the Supreme Court agreed to hear Watson v. Republican National Committee earlier this year, election integrity advocates had reason for cautious optimism. The case presented a clean legal question: does the federal law establishing Election Day require ballots to be received by that date, or merely cast? On Monday, in a 5-4 decision authored by Justice Amy Coney Barrett, the Court answered that question in a way few conservatives anticipated—and the consequences will extend well beyond Mississippi.

The Courts Finally Let America Enforce Its Own Laws

The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit issued a ruling this week that should have been unnecessary to obtain in the first place. In a 2-1 decision handed down Tuesday, the court restored the Trump administration's authority to apply expedited removal to undocumented immigrants anywhere in the country, not merely near the border, reversing a lower-court injunction that had blocked the policy for months. The ruling is a legal victory, and it is the right outcome, but the fact that the federal government had to fight its way through multiple layers of litigation simply to enforce a statute that Congress passed in 1996 tells you a great deal about how far the judiciary has drifted from its proper role.

The Party of Gaza: What Tuesday’s New York Primaries Revealed About the Democratic Party’s Future

The crowd at 99 Scott Studio in East Williamsburg did not cheer the candidate's name when the race was called Tuesday night. They chanted something else entirely. "Free Palestine. Free Palestine."

A Million Ghosts on Obamacare’s Tab

When Barack Obama addressed a joint session of Congress on September 9, 2009, he had a direct response for critics who warned that his proposed health care overhaul would extend benefits to people who had no legal right to them. "There are also those who claim that our reform effort will insure illegal immigrants," he said from the House chamber. "This, too, is false. The reforms I'm proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally." From the Republican side of the aisle, Congressman Joe Wilson of South Carolina broke with decorum and shouted two words: "You lie!" History has been considerably kinder to Wilson than the Washington press corps was that evening.
