Government Overcriminalization Catches Unwary Americans
A strange trend has emerged in the law – strange and dangerous.

Progressive EV Mandates and Economic Reality
President Joe Biden advertised himself as a uniter of Americans but instead seems to have embarked on a crusade to unite government with industry.

Inventing Human Rights To Erase Religious Freedom
I lack confidence that very many legislators will even read, let alone heed, this legal opinion as to why Proposal 4 is a complete waste of taxpayer resources, and so I am writing this opinion directly to Vermonters.
