In the past two years, more than 1 million students have walked away from higher… Continue reading College Enrollment is Down – But There’s a Silver Lining

Although it may seem counterintuitive, the Supreme Court’s ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Center may ultimately help secure a woman’s right to an abortion. By extinguishing Roe v. Wade’s constitutional abortion rights, the court has created the acute need for a national compromise, which can lead to landmark legislation on abortion, and other… Continue reading A Proposed National Agreement on Abortion

This is based on a July 6 talk for a panel, “Tocqueville and America” at “Harvey Mansfield at 90: A Conference on Major Themes of His Work,” sponsored by the American Enterprise Institute and the Foundation for Constitutional Government.

The morning after the Supreme Court overturned Roe, I kept hearing one phrase again and again: I didn’t think I’d see this in my lifetime.

The Supreme Court wrapped up its history-making term last week with a shot across the bow at government regulatory agencies. One of its two final rulings, West Virginia v. EPA, saw the court rule 6-3 along ideological lines that the Clean Air Act does not give the Environmental Protection Agency broad authority to regulate greenhouse… Continue reading SCOTUS Decision May Limit More Than Just the EPA

The headline in Newsweek was typical of the corrupt media, which will stoop to any depth to promote leftist propaganda: “Republican Who Called Roe Ruling ‘Victory for White Life’ Wins Primary.” The Republican in this case was Rep. Mary Miller of Illinois, who was endorsed by Donald Trump and therefore fair game for sliming. At… Continue reading Dobbs Ruling Is a Victory for ‘Black Life’

From dialysis to chickens, the U.S. Department of Justice and its regulatory compatriot, the Federal Trade Commission, are flexing Uncle Sam’s antitrust muscles, notwithstanding strong headwinds from skeptical judges and juries. As the United States Chamber of Commerce recently warned in a brief filed with the courts, “Allowing [DOJ] to retroactively criminalize behavior strikes at… Continue reading FTC and Antitrust Lawyers Targeting America’s Business Sector
