They have a baby on our land, the baby becomes a citizen… It’s ridiculous. Donald Trump, Axios on HBO, October 2018 It sounds reasonable, maybe even responsible. At first glance, it’s a call to order, just a little policy tweak, they say, to ensure the integrity of the nation. A system where being born here […]

Fast tyranny depends on slow justice In a quiet opinion buried in the noise of summer headlines, the Supreme Court has struck a blow against the very idea of emergency resistance. No fireworks. No marches. Just one more tool of liberty snapped clean in half. The Court has ruled that federal district judges may no […]
