Out of Uniform

Standard

My column today at Broad+Liberty: Governor Wolf’s proposed tax hike isn’t just a bad idea. It also violates the state constitution.

Enough is Enough

Standard

The Constitution allows for speech that makes conspiracy-mongering legal, but we must demand more from our presidents than minimal compliance with the law. I wrote why Trump deserved his impeachment, today at The Federalist.

Pelosi’s Constitutional Shenanigans

Standard

Today at The Federalist, I wrote about how Nancy Pelosi’s 25th Amendment bill would politicize a non-political process at a time when the nation would least be able to afford it.

Pence has the power

Standard

Don’t believe the latest wish-casting from the legal academy: Vice Presidents can cast tie-breaking votes on judicial nominations. Read my article about it at The Federalist.

50 is enough

Standard

Rioting in the capital shows why the federal government needs to control its own environs and why D.C. should not become a state. My latest at The Federalist.

Unsuccessful Succession

Standard

No matter how many people Congress impeaches, Nancy Pelosi will never be President. My latest at The Federalist.

Taxing Our Rights

Standard

Elizabeth Warren’s latest proposal is a plan to tax your natural rights out of existence. My latest at The Federalist.

General Warrants, Big Government’s Best Friend

Standard

Creeping government control is nothing new, but the Justice Department’s disregard for the Second and Fourth Amendments shows old protections against abuses of power will wear thin without public vigilance. My latest at The Federalist.

Wealth Taxes and the Constitution

Standard

I wrote two articles for The Federalist about Elizabeth Warren’s wealth tax plan. In Part 1, published today, I discuss why the tax would be unconstitutional.

The Right to Free Tweets

Standard

Do you have the constitutional right to make the President listen to you? I wrote about Twitter and free speech today at The Federalist.
