James has campaigned on lawfare and the Democratic New York voters have wildly supported her weaponization of the legal system against Trump and others. Now some judges are balking… Here is the column: Continue reading “Letitia James May be Winning the Lawfare but Losing the War” → 185 Comments Supreme Court September 29, 2024September 30, 2024 Lebowitz Calls for Biden-Harris to “Dissolve the Supreme Court” Author and cultural critic Fran Lebowitz added voice to the unhinged calls on the left for trashing the Supreme Court. As I discussed recently in the Wall Street Journal (and in my book), there is a growing counter-constitutional movement in the United States led by law professors, pundits, and celebrities. Lebowitz amplified those calls in a radical demand to simply get rid of the Court.

The GOP pachyderm will be packed away to protect the sensibilities of Democrats. The appearance of the elephant was too triggering for liberals and boycotts were being threatened.

Trump Group Accuses Airbnb Host of Eviction on Political Grounds There is an interesting controversy growing over an alleged eviction by an Airbnb host in Philadelphia of Trump supporters. The conservative site Breitbart is reporting that “ballot chasers” for Trump were allegedly given an hour to clear out after the host learned that they were in Pennsylvania to get out the vote for Trump. If true, the incident raises a serious matter for Airbnb over hosts imposing political conditions for the use of their property. Continue reading “Airdnc?

The most serious charges may be the foreign campaign contributions and the use of straw man transactions to gain both unlawful contributions and increased matching funds. However, some of these charges are not nearly as overwhelming as suggested by the government. That may be why they are openly threatening Adams associates to cooperate or face ruin. Here is the column: Continue reading “All the King’s Upgrades: There May Be Less Than Meets the Eye in the Adams Indictment” → 216 Comments Academia, Columns September 26, 2024September 26, 2024 What Happens if We Hold College and Nobody Comes? Below is my column in the New York Post on a growing crisis in higher education as enrollments and trust falls. Despite these trends, administrators and faculty appear entirely oblivious and unrepentant. They continue to alienate many in the country who view schools as pursuing indoctrination rather than education. Here is the slightly expanded column: Continue reading “What Happens if We Hold College and Nobody Comes?” → 369 Comments Columns, Constitutional Law, Free Speech September 25, 2024 The Counter-Constitutional Movement: The Assault on America’s Defining Principles Below is my column in the Wall Street Journal on the growing counter-constitutional movement in the United States. This assault on the Constitution is being led by law professors who have lost their faith in the defining principles and institutions of our Republic. Here is the column: Continue reading “The Counter-Constitutional Movement: The Assault on America’s Defining Principles” → 326 Comments Academia September 24, 2024September 24, 2024 “Slitting the Master’s Throat”: Fired Machete-Wielding Professor Leads Protesters in Chilling Chant We previously discussed Shellyne Rodríguez , the machete-wielding former Hunter College professor. Rodríguez is back with a large following shown in a video with protesters chanting with her about “slitting the throats of the masters.” Continue reading ““Slitting the Master’s Throat”: Fired Machete-Wielding Professor Leads Protesters in Chilling Chant” → 293 Comments Lawyering, Media, Supreme Court September 23, 2024September 23, 2024 The Supreme Crisis of Chief Justice John Roberts Below is my column in The Hill on a growing crisis at the Supreme Court for Chief Justice John Roberts. A new breach of confidentiality shows cultural crisis at the Court. While the earlier leaking of the Dobbs decision could have come from a clerk, much of the recent information could only have originated with a justice. Here is the column: Continue reading “The Supreme Crisis of Chief Justice John Roberts” → 336 Comments Constitutional Law, Free Speech, Torts September 22, 2024September 22, 2024 California Sued Over New “Deepfake” Law California has triggered the first lawsuit over its controversial new laws that require social media companies to censor fake images created by artificial intelligence, known as deepfakes as well as barring the posting of images. A video creator is suing the State of California after his use of a parody of Vice President Kamala Harris was banned. The law raises serious and novel constitutional questions under the First Amendment. Continue reading “California Sued Over New “Deepfake” Law” → 166 Comments Academia, Free Speech September 21, 2024September 21, 2024 Indiana State University Cancels Conservative Journalist Over “Safety Concerns” One of the skill sets of the anti-free speech movement has been the art of faux outrage. Pundits will often adopt a tortured meaning of a statement, an obvious joke, or take some misstatement and go into vapors on social media. That pattern has repeated itself with National Review editor-in-chief Rich Lowry, who was just canceled by Indiana State University under the common excuse of “safety concerns.” Continue reading “Indiana State University Cancels Conservative Journalist Over “Safety Concerns”” → 245 Comments International, Religion September 20, 2024 Fall from Grace: Olympian Suspended for Making Sign of the Cross International Judo Federation (IJF) has suspended a Serbian judo champion for five months from any international competitions for making the sign of the cross after his match in the Paris Olympic games this year. It is another bizarre controversy from the games, including France barring French Muslim athletes from wearing hijabs in competition.

In the middle of the speech, the media reported that an Alaska man was arrested for threatening to assassinate six members of the Supreme Court and harm two family members. While the government has not confirmed the identities of the justices, some media outlets are reporting, that Panos Anastasiou, 76, threatened the six conservative justices.

She is now suggesting the arrest of Americans who spread what she considers disinformation. It is a crushingly ironic moment since it was her campaign that funded the infamous Steele dossier and spread false stories of Russian collusion during her presidential campaign. Presumably, that disinformation would not be treated as criminal viewpoints.
