From Sanford Levinson, Professor of Law of the University of Texas, on interpreting the Constitution: “It really is open to interpretation by anybody, in what I sometimes call the lawyerhood of all citizens. Anybody in a bar can get into a shouting argument over what equal protection means, or the right to free speech.” He must hang out in ver...

I don’t know if y’all have noticed, but Obama really enjoys coming to the Philadelphia area. He’s here often enough that when Sebastian complains about all the cops out when he drives to or from work, we can safely assume that Obama is here. I think I just figured out why that is. It’s not because the City of Brotherly Lov...

There’s been some more activity today on the issue of whether the Slaughter Rule for passing Health Care would be constitutional.  Michael McConnell says it’s not constitutional in an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, via Jonathan Adler of the Volokh Conspiracy. Based on this reading, which would indicate the House and Senate never act...

Sometimes people forget their place in the world. As advocates of the right to own firearms we sometimes think we are above being prey. That is when tragedy strikes but at least we have means to defend ourselves. The opposition only has a phone, a three digit number and minutes to wait until help arrives. In short, they have a lifetime to wait. Bri...

When it comes to Jim Crow gun laws the Democrats rein king, from the public gathering clause in Georgia, to prohibiting blacks from open carrying loaded guns in California with the Mulford Act. Well, Chicago is continuing the tradition of disarming,and denying the rights of blacks and other minorities. Yet, for some odd reason Republicans are alway...

Limits.Knowing when to stop, knowing when to press on. Decisions that aren't just daily ones, but the ones on which your life may some day depend.During the declining part of the year, I walked along a forest trail.

Welcome to Georgia,where vibrators are illegal,can't buy beer on Sundays,and we register everybody as a sex offender - even if they are not. Now, while I have no problem with keeping tabs on folks who take advantage of little kids,or can't understand that no means no. It is both scary,and a huge waste of time to keep tabs on common criminals who ha...

The Social Security Administration has begun cashing in IOU,in the form of Treasury Bonds. This could be the end of the ponzi scheme that has been perpetrated on the American tax payer. However, I think it will get ugly, for we have a generation, the Baby Boomers, who feel they are entitled to your money,and will fight to get it....

So much for Obama's promise to cut out special deals in the health care bill. There are so many deals already made that they can't do any more without interfering with the existing deals.House Democratic leaders are closing down their trading post on the health care bill. Party leaders are beginning to spread the word to rank-and-file lawmakers th...

Over at Handguns there is a review of the Dan Wesson CCO Bobtail. Though like many reviews in magazines (Guns and Ammo) this one noted no deficiencies it appears to be a fine weapon. Of course only hands on with a lot of ammunition will render a verdict on its dependability but for those who like the looks of things it is a nice work of art. No r...

This appears to be a pretty big difference in rates between male and female prison staff having sex with prisoners -- more than a two-to-one difference.Inmate Michael Murphy usually started by seeking a small favor.

Don’t ask me how, but I always manage to congeal all my subscriptions and memberships to die at the same darn time.

By Dave Yost It will be a long time before Second Amendment rights are finally treated with the same respect as the rest of the Bill of Rights. But we continue to tip-toe toward intellectual consistency, and the Ohio General Assembly will soon have an opportunity to take another small step. The issue is called restoration, and I'm told a bill will ...

Remember the guy who took his AK-47 pistol with tip painted orange to look like a toy gun and went gallivanting through the woods and was shocked when the other folks in the park weren’t fans. And then was held by the po-po who determined that, well, he had a permit? Yeah, that guy. His carry permit has been revoked by the TN Department of Sa...
