  • They’re Just Committing the Crimes Americans Won’t Commit

    By Selwyn Duke With the San Francisco woman murdered by one of Barack Obama’s “new Americans,” we should ask: how much innocent blood will be spilled on the altar of the Left’s “fundamental transformation” of America?

    By Selwyn Duke “To allow the policy question of same-sex marriage to be considered and resolved by a select, patrician, highly unrepresentative panel of nine is to violate a principle even more fundamental than no taxation without representation: no social transformation without representation.” So wrote Justice Antonin Scalia in his dissent in Obergefell v. Hodges, the…

  • When the Feds Quash Free Speech with Legal Tyranny

    By Selwyn Duke Imagine you run a website and are ordered by the federal government to divulge personal information on article commenters. Now imagine that the feds also issue a gag order preventing you from revealing what they’re up to.

    By Selwyn Duke Has our nation traded the rule of law for the rule of lawyers? Critics would say so. And this week’s Supreme Court rulings — most notably Friday's 5-4 decision on faux marriage — could be their Exhibit A. Friday's ruling, stating that same-sex couples have a “right” to “marry” in all 50…
