The past year has seen louder calls for impeachment, invoking Article 25 of the Constitution and the subsequent removal of Trump for his unhinged behavior towards everyone he sees. Yet, as you will see in Phil Wilson’s piece, Article 25 may not be enough to do that. What will be needed is something that is … Continue reading 25th Amendment is Not Enough →

The American Postal Workers Union launched an ad campaign Thursday to push back against efforts to scale back voting by mail. The initiative comes in response to legal action by state and federal governments over the past year to delegitimize mail-in ballots, including President Donald Trump’s recent executive order to limit mail-in voting.

ISLAMABAD: Jamaat-i-Islami (JI) emir Hafiz Naeemur Rehman on Monday approached the Federal Constitutional Court (FCC) against the petroleum levy, arguing that the government had effectively granted itself unrestricted power to tax citizens through executive notifications without parliamentary oversight.

President Donald Trump suggested earlier this week that Venezuela should be annexed by the United States. He reportedly told Fox News correspondent John Roberts—not to be confused with the chief justice—that he was “seriously considering a move to make Venezuela the 51st state.”
This is a far-fetched idea, to say the least. Venezuela has no interest in voluntarily becoming a U.S. state, as its…

For decades, the United States didn’t realize it had a town in Mexico. Rio Rico, which sits just south of the Rio Grande and an hour’s drive from the southern tip of Texas, was founded in 1929 and functioned as part of Mexico in every practical sense. Its residents bought goods with Mexican pesos, paid Mexican taxes, and were subject to Mexican laws. Nothing about Rio Rico suggested that it…
Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch and American Revolution art in the background
The president has publicly declared that the Supreme Court should cave to his whims, penning that it’s “OK” for his appointees to “be loyal.”
In a lengthy Truth Social rant Sunday, Donald Trump railed against justices he appointed to the nation’s highest judiciary, wondering how he’s supposed to “reconcile” rulings that he claimed were ideologically opposed to his agenda.
Trump called out…
Justice Gorsuch speaks to Nick Gillespie against a bright orange background.
Rather than lifting us out of our current political trench warfare, the dispute over a reference to God in the Saarland constitutional preamble merely illuminates it.
Chief Justice John Roberts and his colleagues have a problem on their hands. Americans have an increasingly low opinion of the Supreme Court. Thanks to its aggressive and corrosive rulings, a growing number of voters and elected officials favor structural reforms to rein in the conservative justices—by expanding its size, narrowing its jurisdiction, and other major changes.
The chief justice…

Dans une lettre au Congrès, vendredi, Donald Trump affirme pouvoir se passer de son autorisation, jugeant que le conflit avec l’Iran n’est plus actif. Une position contestée par les démocrates
President Donald Trump claimed Friday it’s unconstitutional to seek congressional approval for war.
Speaking to the press outside the White House, Trump whined that he should not have to comply with the War Powers Resolution of 1973, which requires the president to withdraw his forces from a conflict after 60 days unless Congress declares war or approves an extension.
“There’s no other country…
