American Caesar and Constitutional Indifference
A recent column in The Economist magazine asking if America is dictator-proof got me to thinking if our constitutional guarantees are secure. Stated differently: Can the custodians of our constitutional norms be trusted to restrain a deliberate attempt to ignore,...

From COVID-19 to Campus Protests: How the Police State Muzzles Free Speech

A Nanny State Idiocracy: A Tale of Too Many Laws and Too Little Freedom
