What a Hidden Supreme Court Case Tells Us About the Constitution (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Many years ago, Congress adopted a law that prohibits home whiskey distilling. That law is now under constitutional challenge. One way the government’s lawyers defend the home-distilling ban is to refer to the Constitution’s Interstate Commerce Clause: It grants Congress power “to regulate Commerce ... among the several States” (Article I, Section 8, Clause 3). The government’s lawyers also point out that the Constitution gives Congress authority to make laws “necessary and proper” for carrying
The Extremism—And Irrelevancy—of the ‘Democratic Socialists’ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This column may provide you with all you need to know about the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). This is the fringe group that the media and a relatively small handful of voters have turned into a supposedly significant force. This column makes two points.

The 1768 Massachusetts Circular Letter: A Forerunner to the Constitution (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Some people seem to think the Constitution’s framers simply made the whole thing up. “Why should we pay attention to what 55 dead white guys wrote 239 years ago?” they ask.

Illustrating this is a document written nearly 20 years before the framers met in Philadelphia—a document that proclaims concepts later incorporated into the Constitution. This was the time when the Br

Read excerpt
Are you one of those people who votes for candidates advocating smaller government—only to see government keep growing? However, party dilution laws may be unconstitutional. They are under legal challenge in several states. In addition, some states, such as California and Louisiana, have adopted laws that create election systems that don’t meddle with party selection procedures—but may (or may not) undermine political parties in other ways. The Supreme Court calls these systems “nonpartisan blan
New Supreme Court Case Reopens Question About the 2020 Presidential Election (opens the original)
Read excerpt
However, in that essay, I noted that the extended mail-in ballot procedures of many states seemed to violate federal law. I further explained that these procedures probably flipped at least one swing state—Pennsylvania—from Trump to Biden. The illegality of extended mail-in ballot schemes, I wrote, was the “elephant in the room” that everyone was ignoring. Even critics of the election were disregarding it, presumably to avoid seeming to oppose popular provisions for legitimate absentee voting. O
