I keep hearing about Ted Cruz and the nine times he argued before the Supreme Court. But I hear absolutely nothing about his record before the highest court in the land. And while arguing before the Supreme Court has to be one of the greatest honors in any Attorney’s career, Cruz was the Solicitor General […]

Over the last couple of days, I have heard increasing insight into the role of the judiciary in the deterioration of American liberties. Mark Levin, hearkening back to his first book, Men In Black: How the Supreme Court is Destroying America, lambasted The Court last week for essentially superseding its authority, time and again.

Over the last month, we’ve seen Mark Levin and the Constitutionalist Movement slam full steam ahead into an inconspicuous iceberg called the John Birch Society. Almost instantaneously, conservatives and constitutionalists picked sides, armed themselves with their talking points, and BOOM, you get what we had here last week. They say that when passions rise, logic […]

Like everyone else on the right, I detest this ruling and truly hoped that it had gone the other way. But in the back of my mind, when the government made the argument that the mandate was a tax, I thought that was something worth worrying about. Of course, the argument during the legislative process […]

The ruling shocked nearly everyone. And the Democrats were, indeed, wrong. The mandate is not constitutional under the Commerce Clause. That much was affirmed. But Justice Roberts surprised everyone by allowing the mandate to survive as a tax, an argument that the government never pushed, and one Obama flatly denied, as did most Democrats. “This is not […]

I wholeheartedly support and endorse the Guardian’s (UK) editorial on the death sentence of Pastor Youssef Nadarkhani. Mohammad Ali Dadkhah, the lawyer who was brave enough to defend him, was himself sentenced to nine years on trumped-up charges this summer. Both these sentences are offences against natural justice. Both were appealed. The supreme court in […]
