Democrats: You Had BETTER Reclaim Leadership in Constitutional Law and Civics Education, like RIGHT NOW.
Just when I thought I knew most all of the far right, pro-fascist Web sites out there, I come across this rather new one that lays bare the threat to our liberties and makes imperative the need to retake the fields of Civics and Constitutional Law with an urgency that I have never seen. If…

We’re Not a Monarchy; We’re a Constitutional Republic
If you’ve discussed or debated politics, chances are that you’ve come across a MAGA who flexed his asserted political acumen with statements like “We’re not a democracy. We are a Constitutional Republic.” That’s true, in fact, if “democracy” is taken to mean direct, unrestrained democracy in which a 50% plus one majority gets its way…

Wait a Minute! I Thought MAGA Believed in “Free Speech on College Campus!”
We all knew that was a self-serving line of bull, but now it has proven itself to be such. The latest university to cave to Trump’s and MAGA’s war on campus free speech is Columbia University. One of MAGA’s censorship attempts is stifling the free speech rights of pro-Palestinian students. It wasn’t so long ago…

MAGA Undermined Parental Rights by Packing the Courts with Anti-Liberty Judges
In MAGA’s quest to assert the “parental right” to put other people’s children in danger, they have begun claiming that parental rights are fundamental rights protected by the Due Process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. That was actually true — during the heyday of the liberal Supreme Court. In their Parental Rights Toolkit, the Alliance…

Deliberately Overbroad Rulings: How a MAGA Supreme Court Obliterates As Many Rights As Possible in One Fell Swoop
Imagine that the case before you is one large, ugly dandelion growing in your otherwise perfectly manicured lawn. You can either: apply a specific herbicide that targets only certain kinds of broad-leaved weeds, or you can bust out the Roundup and kill the whole damn lawn, deciding the dandelion case in the process. Either method…

How MAGA Really Feels About The Right To Privacy
You may, of late, hear far right organizations pretending to care about the right to privacy. Often, they appeal to children’s rights to privacy when they spill their malicious bile against the rights of transgender students. Every fascist movement requires a current, trendy target – and as of now, trans Americans are it. Let’s get…

I may have read Amy Coney Barrett correctly.
When Amy Coney Barrett was rammed through confirmation to the Supreme Court as a result of Mitch McConnell’s second theft of a Supreme Court vacancy, I was hesitant to jump on the bandwagon of condemning her as a person. I thought to myself, “yeah, I know she’s against abortion rights, and I know that she…

** I HAVE IT!! **
It takes the form of a PDF file, but you can navigate this PDF as if it’s an actual Web site. Here are my works when I was 20-25 years old. These will show that I was warning about Trumpism 30 full years ago! Browse away!

The MAGA Doctrine of Religious Liberty: “It’s My Right to Leave You to Die Because Your Existence Goes Against My Conscience!”
If that sounds like a wild, histrionic exaggeration, I get that. But I am going to demonstrate that this is well within the realm of possibility. But first things first: As is usually the case, MAGA’s definition of words and phrases is very unlike what normal people understand them to be. Oftentimes, MAGA’s definitions of…

Two Obscure but Key SCOTUS Rulings Prove that the Right Wing’s Supposed Reverence for “Free Speech” is a Lie
For 30 years, the far right has been falsely claiming that they are the true champions and defenders of the First Amendment’s guarantees of freedom of speech. For the last 15 of those years, they have succeeded in convincing a majority of Americans that the right wing consists of Constitutional purists who diligently defend our…

The First Amendment Right that MAGA Hates More than Any Other Right
It’s no secret that MAGA hates the Establishment Clause with a white-hot passion. Their book banning, book burning, and other censorship crusades make their contempt for the Free Speech and Free Press clauses very evident. And they hate religious liberty with such intensity that they are now trying to redefine “religious freedom” to give adherents…

Stolen Power Is Illegitimate Power (Or, Why the Current Supreme Court is Illegitimate)
Let me start with a completely uncontroversial stipulation: Stolen power is illegitimate power. Just as a stolen car does not belong to the thief, and stolen merchandise is not the rightful property of the shoplifter, stolen political power does not belong to the thieves who connived and conspired to steal it. And today’s Supreme Court…
