It could be a coincidence—or it could foretell a historic Supreme Court term. The Court has now accepted two cases for this term that could threaten the essential legal underpinnings of the federal administrative state. The first is American Hospital Association v. Becerra, in which the plaintiff questions the Chevron doctrine—a rule fashioned by the Supreme Court itself in […]
An outsider could reasonably conclude that Justin Trudeau, with his dandy socks, worldly upbringing, and earnest progressivism—bemoaning the pandemic “she-cession” and touting the “she-covery” (groan)—is a reasonably representative archetype of the Canadian psyche.

I ask nearly everyone I meet over here in Hungary, which borders Ukraine, what their take is, and the gloom is uniform, though not apocalyptic. Nobody wants […]

A preview of what’s to come for us all: Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau has invoked special emergency powers to confront the trucker convoy, which has been blockading major cities and highways in protest against the cross-border vaccine mandate imposed by the Canadian government. The law, the Emergencies Act, written in 1988, has never […]

A bill in the Arizona legislature would create a sharper enforcement mechanism for the state’s parental bill of rights. While Arizona has a parents bill of rights, it doesn’t have any recourse for parents who think their rights have been violated. Senate Bill 1049, filed by Sen. Kelly Townsend, R-Mesa, would change that. The bill […]

Chief Justice John Marshall’s observation, “[t]hat the power to tax involves the power to destroy,” has become part of American political lore. Marshall understood that the state’s revenue-extracting power can be weaponized—even against those who have committed no crime. We are now seeing a corollary to that notion in finance, with fossil fuel companies as […]
