Voices from the Abyss: The Lone Dissents of Ginsburg, Scalia, and Murphy
In the cold, indifferent machinery of the American legal system, three justices—Ginsburg, Scalia, and Murphy—dared to howl against the iron consensus of their peers. Alone in the judicial void, they each lit a solitary candle in a courtroom long surrendered to silence, fear, or compromise. Their dissents, unheeded in their time, read now like deathbed […]

NFIB v. Sebelius
On the surface, National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius was about health care—Obamacare, they called it. But beneath that clean, bureaucratic title, the case revealed something far darker: a confrontation with the question of whether the government could compel you to live, act, breathe… and buy.

Lopez v. United States
In the eerie stillness of America’s legal halls, a chilling precedent was set. Lopez v. United States declared that merely possessing a gun in a school zone was not a crime—at least not one the federal government could touch. The message was unspoken but clear: the gun could stay.

Congress Is King
Congress wields more power than a Bond villain with a grudge. Thanks to the Exceptions Clause, they can slice and dice the Supreme Court’s appellate jurisdiction like a cheap steak.

In the past, the Court has avoided ruling on certain cases by either delaying decisions or remanding them to lower courts. Many cases involving the 14th Amendment and due process have been postponed […]

Another Anonymous US Supreme Court Case
Ohio vs. Bradenbury: yet another Supreme Court free speech case so toxic, even the Justices wouldn’t touch it with their names. Can you blame them? It’s not every day you want the KKK’s RSVP to your next barbecue. And when it came to assigning liability, the Court basically said, “Nah, we’re good.”

No Unions Or Human Rights Allowed!
Here’s a quick illustration of Cedar Point Nursery v. Hassid. Imagine you’re a nursery owner, minding your own business, watering your prized saplings. Enter stage left: the government, clipboard in hand, announcing, “Congratulations! You’ve just been awarded the privilege of sharing your property with whoever we say, whenever we say. But don’t worry—it’s not all […]

Lochnerism
Lochnerism is basically when the Supreme Court decides to turn the Constitution into a choose-your-own-adventure book using the 14th Amendment’s liberty clause. They say, “We’re here to protect freedom!” But then the existential crisis kicks in: What even is freedom? The Constitution doesn’t spell it out, so the Court just kind of wings it.

Government Bulldozes A Woman’s Little Pink House
Once upon a time, there was a little pink house. It wasn’t much, but it was home for Susette Kelo—until the government decided that a cozy, working-class neighborhood wasn’t quite…profitable enough. Enter Pfizer, the pharmaceutical behemoth with grand plans to swoop in, take her land, and bulldoze her house. Why? To build something more, well, […]
