Doomsayers Doomed in Washington State Marijuana Debate
In contrast to the prohibitionist propaganda messages, legalization has resulted in fewer arrests, convictions, and criminal records.
Failing Constitution 101, Making Stalin Proud: Chris Christie on the 4th Amendment
The dust-up between New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul over presidential fidelity to the Constitution — particularly the Fourth Amendment — was the most illuminating two minutes of the Republican debate last week. It is a well-regarded historical truism that the Fourth Amendment was written by victims of government snooping, the…
30 Ways Congressional Republicans are the Same as Socialist Bernie Sanders
Bernie Sanders is an Independent U.S. Senator from Vermont who caucuses with the Democrats. He is a self-proclaimed socialist. He is a Democratic candidate for president. He is many things, but a Republican he is not. Yet, even though most people think there are many differences between Sanders and the typical Republican member of Congress…
But Doesn’t Federal Law Supersede State Law?
Whenever we publish something about an anti-commandeering-style nullification bill, somebody inevitably responds with something along these lines. “I’m not a lawyer, but doesn’t federal law supersede state law?” In short, the answer to that question is no. In fact, the Supremacy Clause doesn’t even apply when it comes to anti-commandeering. Anti-commandeering laws merely prohibit the…

Radio Interview: The Texas Gold Depository and Nullifying the Federal Reserve
A couple of weeks ago, I appeared on “An Economy Of One” podcast to discuss the new Texas gold depository. Gary Rathbun and I discussed two important impacts the Texas depository will have.

Radio Interview: Nullification Movement Building Momentum
Last week, I appeared on the Scott Horton show to discuss six new laws that went into effect August 1. Four of these laws nullify specific federal acts in practice, and two others that went on the books placing significant roadblocks in the way of some federal programs. During the show, Scott and I talked…
The Federal Reserve’s War on Drugs
That’s right: the Federal Reserve is now in the business of enforcing the U.S. government’s drug laws, even if that means making a mockery of both state governments’ right to set their own drug policies and the Fed’s own governing statutes.
Obamacare Decisions Undermine American Constitutional System
With the Supreme Court saving Obamacare’s hide yet again, what does its decision and the actions of the administration in implementing the law mean for Congress’s authority to write legislation? More fundamentally, what do they mean for the constitutional system itself. From the beginning, Obamacare has been riddled with dubious political moves by both the executive…
