Reminder: The Constitution doesn’t actually mention tariffs and the Supreme Court ruled in 1928 that the power can be delegated to the President

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

Rather than looking at the Constitution, the history, the law, and the facts, many automatically assume President Trump will not prevail at the Supreme Court or anything else, but what else is new? Last week, Supreme Court pundits and watchers were convinced the Justices were set to overturn President Trump’s global tariff policy because several… Continue reading Reminder: The Constitution doesn’t actually mention tariffs and the Supreme Court ruled in 1928 that the power can be delegated to the President

Progressives should’ve listened to Chuck Schumer because they are the ones now reaping the whirlwind

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

While some say this more aggressive use of power will come back to haunt us as Democrats regain these same powers and use them in turn, conservatives have already been silenced and punished.  There is little more that they can do, and a little retribution is more than well deserved. “You have unleashed the whirlwind… Continue reading Progressives should’ve listened to Chuck Schumer because they are the ones now reaping the whirlwind

Wait, I thought the Supreme Court was just a bunch of partisan hacks in black robes

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

Despite the naysayers, the Supreme Court continues to demonstrate a rare independence of thought in our polarized age, issuing several decisions just this month that featured shifting coalitions of conservative and liberal Justices, completely defying any simple categorization as partisan.  Progressives, along with some conservatives, have taken up trashing the Supreme Court and recommending all… Continue reading Wait, I thought the Supreme Court was just a bunch of partisan hacks in black robes

The reason even Special Counsel Jack Smith acknowledged at least some of the former President’s actions were official is because elections are essentially political and it has been a democratic norm since the dawn of the Republic that political actions are not criminal. The Supreme Court, fortunately, seems to realize this and is likely to… Continue reading The media is shocked to discover that the Supreme Court cares about more than Donald Trump

No, unaccountable government agencies aren’t “democracy in action”

Christian Twiste1 Comment

Some progressives are openly claiming all power resides with federal agencies, and your power is limited to voicing your opinion.  They say they care deeply about democratic norms and assaults on democracy, while they assault every norm there is and redefine democracy at a whim, outright proposing technocratic authoritarianism and calling it democracy. Recent Supreme… Continue reading No, unaccountable government agencies aren’t “democracy in action”

NCAA: The Supreme Court deals a blow to their slave labor policy, but how was it allowed to exist in the first place?

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

For an organization that claims to be woke and not-for-profit, the NCAA has a lot of explaining to do.  Coaches and executives make millions, players make nothing and can’t even control the usage of their own image.  We’re told it’s for their own good, but slaveholders in the antebellum south said much the same thing… Continue reading NCAA: The Supreme Court deals a blow to their slave labor policy, but how was it allowed to exist in the first place?
