For Immigration Enforcement Supporters, Texas Provides a Path
Whether that's good policy or bad policy for Texas is up to Texas. But it's a decision for Texas, not Washington D.C.
Dangerous: Abandoning the Constitution in Michigan?
Any time we post something positive happening in Michigan, we get a small, but very vocal group of commenters who say that, basically, constitution be damned – because … there are muslims in Michigan. I shouldn’t have been surprised to see Don, who lives in New Hampshire, use the same approach in response to a bill…
The Never-Ending Excuse: Violating the Constitution to “Save Lives”
Whenever someone is confronted with the fact that some federal act they favor is a violation of the Constitution, they’ll simply sidestep constitutional arguments and claim it’s necessary anyway. While some people are used to hearing these kinds of claims from democrats or republicans, we hear them from everyone, libertarians, too. Take this comment from…
This Email is Good Reason to Oppose Government Schools
Received last week, this rambling, mostly-incoherent email is – unfortunately – pretty common. It’s got some spicy language, but is still worth the read. Government-run schooling at its finest. Hi, guys! Your group is not a defender of anything other than paranoid, middle aged white guys. You wouldn’t know the U.S. Constitution from a Chinese takeout menu.…
Podcast: 9 Reasons Cosmo Should Stick to Orgasms

He could have taken the opposite approach, and attacked the…
Under Attack: SPLC, then Maddow and now Harvard too!
TAC is definitely catching flak - and in my opinion, that means we’re doing something right.
Another Conservative Who Doesn’t Care About the Constitution
For those who breathed a sigh of relief when Republicans gained control in Washington D.C. - don't say we didn't warn you.
Another Year, Another “Hate Group” Listing at SPLC
“Listing here does not imply that the groups themselves advocate or engage in violence or other criminal activities, or are racist…” That’s one caveat that SPLC has been putting in their yearly list of “dangerous” groups. TAC has been there for years, and I see we’re listed once again. LewRockwell.com is new on the list,…
Spinning 180s on the Constitution
Progressives have done a complete 180 on the Constitution over the last few week. And so have conservatives. Typical progressive narrative, circa 2009-2016: The Constitution is a “living document,” the expansion of executive authority is justified under numerous circumstances, the president is merely repeating the precedents of his predecessors, and the president has a pen…
