Aztlanderos – A Deluded and Dangerous Brotherhood By Al Garza, Published by The Christian News, November 2012 Too few U.S. citizens realize there is a virtually unrecognized violent faction of pro-Palestinian anti-U.S. activists plotting and laboring to overthrow the states of California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas, and eventually, according to some who follow the […]
A Partial Defense of the Majority Opinion in Bond v. United States
Chief Justice Roberts’ majority opinion in Bond v. United States has been sharply criticized (see here and here), so I’ll say few words partially in its favor. The case has seemed odd from the beginning because the federal statute at issue implements the Chemical Weapons Convention and (as the majority says) the local misuse of household chemicals does not seem the type…

ECB: Bank With Us … and We’ll Charge You Interest
"This morning, the ECB took the radical stepof cutting its deposit rate to negative 0.1 percent. It also lowered its benchmark lending rate (similar to the federal funds rate the U.S. Federal Reserve has been raising and lowering for decades) to 0.15 percent from 0.25 percent.

The President’s Power over Prisoners of War
Several excellent posts challenge the legality of the President’s exchange of five Taliban prisoners held at Guantanamo for a U.S. soldier held by the Taliban — see Josh Blackman here, Ilya Somin here (toward the bottom of the post), and especially Tim Sandefur here. As the posts explain, the exchange violated a U.S. statute that prohibits releasing any prisoners…
