One of the few huge mistakes that Trump made was back in 2017 after the Las Vegas shooting at a music festival where 58 people died. He, with the ensuing caterwauling by the anti-Second Amendment folks, commanded the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (“ATF”) to find that bump stocks, by their mere existence, can turn anything into a machine gun.

Night Cap: Judge Sotomayor Was Great, But That Was Then, We Need Her Out Now
Thank you, Soto. You served your purpose, but your time has come. You are 70, and, yes, that is twelve years younger than feeble Joe, but we need your robe for a younger dudette. BTW, we need this to happen soon so we can replace you before Joe loses to Trump on November 5.
With 9-0 Decision SCOTUS Tells Public Officials How Blocking People on Social Media Could Get them Sued
I like to harp on local House Reps, typically Democrats, who block people on social media that disagree with their public political statements, positions, or advocacy. Now, I can say they should have seen this coming, especially those who praised the courts for smacking then-President Trump around for doing the same thing.
Democrats Take A 9-0 Smackdown
The Biden Campaign has been very slow out of the gate as they appear to be patiently waiting for the courts to beat Donald Trump for them. With the Monday 10 AM decision posted on the SCOTUS website, the Supreme Court said, no, they yelled to Joe Biden that it would not be doing the work for him.
Breaking – SCOTUS Rules 9-0: Colorado Can’t Remove Trump From The Ballot
At least a few of the Several States, all run by political partisans exercising political will, attempted to keep a candidate for the office of President from appearing on an opposing (private) party primary ballot. The candidate, Donald Trump, asked the Supreme Court to review Colorado’s effort, and they have.
Habeus Convictus
One of our oldest legal concepts is habeas corpus. (‘You must have the body.’) The basic idea is that you can’t detain someone indefinitely without showing cause why he should be detained. It gives the accused a right to challenge the accusations against him in court.
Night Cap: SCOTUS Saves 32,000 Newborns
It isn’t just the Supreme Court, but the MAGA Republicans, Conservatives, and people who respect life, but it all started with the overturning of Roe v. Wade. In the two years since the Court shook the world and disappointed the Left Wing of the nation, there have been 32,000 more births and 32,000 fewer abortions.
In a Blow to Due Process, Supreme Court Gives Police the Green Light to Misidentify, Arrest and Jail Innocent Americans
In a blow to due process safeguards that protect Americans against reckless and wrongful arrests by government officials, the U.S. Supreme Court has refused to hold police accountable for misidentifying and wrongly arresting an innocent man twice in five years, then jailing him for three days before taking a few minutes to verify his identity.
Supreme Court Protects Anti-Government Speech …
WASHINGTON, DC — In a 7-2 ruling that protects anti-government speech, the U.S. Supreme Court has narrowed the scope of a federal law that makes it a crime to “encourage” illegal aliens to remain in the country.
SCOTUS Says No, Joe Says Yes!
In one of the last rulings of the 2023 session, the Supreme Court of the United States decided that Joe Biden’s attempt to forgive up to $20,000 of current balances of student loans was unconstitutional.
Weeding Out the Subverters of Democracy
I have written before about the recent tendency of US Democrat Party members to act to subvert the idea of democracy in attempts to rile up citizens, cultivating and nurturing democracy in the process. Like stoking a fire, except it is not as simple as poking some embers with a stick to send up a shower of sparks.
SCOTUS Speaks. Will Biden and The Left Listen
It is the last day of the Supreme Court session, and as usual, the decisions on the more complex cases are coming down in rapid succession. On Thursday, Joe Biden took little time to speak to the nation, and openly criticized the Court.
Time To End Affirmative Action Everywhere
It is finally time to live what we preach and treat everyone equally. We claim that we do not want racism in any form, yet we have systems that give preferential treatment to specific genders or races.
Breaking: US Supreme Court Rules Against Biden’s Student Loan Forgiveness Scheme
The Democrat’s latest get-out-the-vote scheme already did its damage, so this seems like a moot point, but it does one thing. It saves taxpayers (or, more likely, their grandchildren) a trillion dollars plus interest.
Breaking: SCOTUS Strikes Down Affirmative Action Admission Policies
The US Supreme Court has ruled that college admissions policies based on race are a no-go. The cases involving Harvard and the University of North Carolina, Harvard, for under-enrolling qualified Asian applicants while UNC was accused of failing to achieve diversity by other means.
This Recent Supreme Court Decision Is an Embarrassment
This week the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) rendered its decision in a critical case. The court’s decision was an embarrassment in the United States versus Texas. Here is why.
Justice Gorsuch Has Some Thoughts About the Response to COVID-19
In what may be the non-sequitur of the century, US Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch appended a procedural order with a 900+ word public service announcement about the danger to liberty and Democracy … from the political response to COVID-19.
If You Want a Dirty Justice, The Wise Latina Failed to Recuse Herself and Then Ruled in Her Publisher’s Favor
Justice Sonia Sotomayor, an Obama appointee, has made most of her accumulating wealth from book deals with Random House or its subsidiaries. A sum of 3.6 million dollars over eleven years if the reporting is accurate. So, why didn’t she recuse herself in Aaron Greenspan v. Random House?
SCOTUS on Senate Ethics Complaint Against Justice Clarence Thomas: A Unanimous “Up Yours!”
An Update: Well, perhaps not quite that direct but certainly, within the “politically polite” language used in DC (aka “my friends on the other side of the aisle” as they are shivving each other), a 9-0 unanimous vote against acceding to the whims of an (allegedly) co-equal Branch of government.
