The last vote of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, in 2016, may have undermined the originalism that he championed in a way he could never have imagined, writes Andrew P. Napolitano.

Napolitano In a famous U.S. Supreme Court one-liner, reminding the legal community of the finality of the court’s rulings, the late Justice William J.

Donald Trump sold himself to the American people as the ultimate dealmaker during his first run for President. He argued that Obama’s poor negotiating skills had impoverished the American people, and he would Make America Great Again by getting tough with both allies and adversaries. The American people bought the narrative and elected him over Hillary Clinton in 2016. In the President’s five years in office, he had been unable to cement any agreement that benefited Americans. During his first administration, he engaged in talks with North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un. The two leaders met three times, including…

Photograph Source: NASA – Public Domain The Earth is in a fine mess, but human beings sealed in laboratories full of energy and vigour, attached to screens, and running tests about conditions in space, have another reason to cheer.  Between April 1 and April 11, the Artemis II undertook a flyby of the Moon and returned safely.  News bulletins, life stream feeds and podcasts afforded it saturating room and coverage.  This was the first Moon mission with a crew in over five decades.  Cue, then, for the grand claims, the exaggerated hopes, the silliness of it all. Absurdly, the effort is being heralded as…

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche announced Thursday that the Justice Department has reclassified “FDA-approved marijuana and state-licensed marijuana” from Schedule I controlled substances to Schedule III controlled substances. The move, which does not legalize marijuana, will facilitate the use of the drug in medical research. Schedule III substances are still subject to numerous legal restrictions, including on transportation across state lines. Blanche also announced that the Justice Department would hold expedited hearings to reschedule marijuana as a whole. The reclassification fulfills an executive order signed by President Donald Trump in December 2025 directing the administration to move the drug to…

It is much easier to complain about how the Supreme Court handles interim orders on the “Shadow Docket” than to propose meaningful and acceptable reforms. That is, if one is concerned about the process and practice of the Court (and not just its jurisprudential tilt), one must confront the trade-offs inherent in any reform of how interim orders are sought, considered, and addressed. This is one of the lessons of Garrett West’s important new paper “Taming the Shadow Docket,” just published in the Virginia Law Review. Here is the abstract: The Supreme Court’s shadow docket is causing a supposed legitimacy crisis.…

We’re surrounded by redcoats. They might not be part of King George’s military, but their mindset, what they support and what they’re willing to impose, is everywhere. The founders didn’t just fight an army. They fought a long, bloody war to secede from a system built on a set of views they considered as a fate worse than death. Here are 6 ways to spot a redcoat without ever seeing a uniform. LOYALTY The quickest way to spot a redcoat is one question: where does their loyalty lie? Loyalty to a single person isn’t patriotism. It’s a complete rejection of…
