We live in a nation that is run by federal bureaucrats. There is almost nothing we can do to stop them from interfering in our lives, other than through the courts. It is extremely expensive to do this. Let me give you a recent example. The United States Supreme Court is hearing a case in […]

Nope. Or at least, I have as much authority in saying that, as the bloggers and pundits who claim otherwise. Here’s what the relevant section from the Fourteenth Amendment says: Section 4. The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for […]

The United States Constitution is clear: “All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills.” (Article I, Section 7) If the Republicans decide not to submit a budget, the government will shut down. That is what we are being […]

Sometimes, I get excited. What if this plays out? The House of Representatives may decide to let Obama’s immigration reform bill die. The House doesn’t kill it. It just lets it sit. This caught my attention: an article with the catchy title, “Obama’s Immigration Nuclear Option: Stopping Deportations Unilaterally.” When it comes to the idea […]

Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon is by far the most outspoken foe in Congress of the NSA and the domestic surveillance state that was created by Woodrow Wilson in 1917, accelerated by Harry Truman, and made exponential by the passage of the Patriot Act in 2001. He delivered a remarkable speech on July 23 at […]

On Sunday morning, the CEO of the Associated Press called the Justice Department’s collecting of phone records of AP reporters “unconstitutional.” That it was unconstitutional is obvious. That Obama remains mute on this incident is not unconstitutional. It is political. What is significant is this: the CEO speaks for the entire media industry. They do […]

Barack Obama, who did not close Guantanamo, prosecute corrupt bankers, or get American troops out of Afghanistan, delivered his second inaugural yesterday. The address was a judicious combination of platitudes, deception, code words, and a large dose of bloviation at the end. To bloviate is to give long speeches with high-flying words, yet communicate little. […]

Gary North’s Reality Check (Nov. 16, 2012) On January 7 of this year, I wrote an article on the idealism of younger voters who flocked to Ron Paul’s campaign for the Republican Party’s nomination for President. It is posted here: http://www.garynorth.com/public/8940.cfm. My opinions have not changed. I am convinced that there is a bond between […]

Constitutional lawyer John Whitehead has provided a list of issues that Romney has not hammered Obama with. Time is running out on Romney’s campaign. He is falling behind daily on Intrade. Why not use these now? Militarized police. Drones. SWAT team raids. Suspect society. VIPR Strikes. Invasive surveillance technology. USA Patriot Act, NDAA. Schoolhouse to […]

This video is what we would expect. A man asks a Republican Congressman about Obama’s kill list. The Congressman says the list is Constitutional. The man protests. The Congressman contemptuously dismisses him. These people are contemptuous of voters. But should this be surprising? They are far more contemptuous of the Constitution. Video cameras are these […]
