Courts have become almost entirely political, so when I heard that there was a chance that the DC Circuit Court might be hearing the Sullivan/Flynn mandamus case en banc, I wrote the following prediction: I think the court will grant … Continue reading →
A lot of previously seemingly-sane people have lost their minds, or at least their reasoning power. Check this out from Bernard Goldberg: I’m no fan of Donald Trump. And that’s putting it mildly. I don’t like his chronic dishonesty. I … Continue reading →
Almost from the start, nearly everyone on left and right claimed that the video of George Floyd’s dying moments made it clear that Officer Chauvin was a murderer. I found this to be a shocking assertion – not in terms … Continue reading →

Seattle’s Carmen Best could read the writing on the wall that told her the City Council was determined to cut the legs out from under the police, and to personally punish her as well. So Best – the first black … Continue reading →
