It's Time We Ask: What Do We Do When The Lights Go Out?

Republicans Need A Nudge To Lower Health Care Costs
Republicans in Congress and the Trump administration repealed the penalties associated with the Affordable Care Act’s individual mandate in the tax act that passed in December. Now they need to replace the mandate with something that will address rising premiums and command broader support. Automatic enrollment into health insurance plans is a good place to start.
A New Classic
In the London library in St. James’s Square, the books on World War II are somewhat archaically shelved under the classification “European War (II).” This was because when the Great War broke out in 1914, the librarian gave it the designation “European War.”
Trump Is Reorganizing The Public Land Leviathan- And DC Bureaucrats Are Not Happy
Not since the Reagan administration has the Secretary of Interior received so much attention. Then Reagan’s interior secretary, James Watt, without the aid of a Twitter account, polarized the electorate saying there are “liberals and Americans.” That and other provocative statements led Time Magazine to include him in its list of the “Top 10 Worst Cabinet Members.”
Stewart: Memos Show Comey Was ‘Dishonest’ From ‘The Very Beginning’
Former FBI Director James Comey’s redacted memos released Thursday detailing his early conversations with President Donald Trump show that Comey “was dishonest with the president from the very beginning and continues to be” to this day, Rep.

Trump Once Again Takes His Talents-- And Another Supreme Court Pick-- To Primetime
LeBron James is no fan of Donald Trump. In 2016, the NBA great campaigned for Hillary Clinton in his native Ohio.

Another Brutal Review Of Nancy Maclean, Democracy In Chains
As readers will recall, Duke history professor Nancy MacLean wrote a widely-publicized book, Democracy in Chains, that purports to be an intellectual history of the late public choice economist James Buchanan, and his asserted vast influence on current American politics. Critics, most but not all of them libertarians intimately familiar with Buchanan's life and legacy, have been harshly dismissive.
The Second(-Class) Amendment
If liberals should fear the great contradiction between the Constitution’s text and their elevation of an unenumerated right to privacy (as we argued in our last article), conservatives must confront the same challenge with gun ownership. Despite the text of the Second Amendment, supporters of a right to bear arms have rooted their arguments in a murky pre-constitutional right to self-defense.
An End To Racial Preferences At Last?
The Supreme Court could be ready to rule that racial discrimination is illegal, even if it is purportedly done for a good cause.
More On The Free-Exercise Clause And Religious Exemptions
Despite a pair of recent responses by Ramesh Ponnuru and another by Professor Vincent Philip Muñoz, we continue to view the original understanding of the Constitution’s free-exercise clause to require exemptions to otherwise generally applicable laws except under certain conditions, such as harm to individuals, danger to the public, or the infringement of equal rights.
'He's Become A Comic Figure': Victor Davis Hanson On Comey Denying Blame, Ripping Fox
Hoover Institution fellow Victor Davis Hanson discusses James Comey and his behavior as Director of the FBI.
‘Free Speech’ Means Just That
A too-broad interpretation of the Constitution’s free-speech clause protects things that have nothing to do with speech and makes other clauses superfluous.
The Supreme Court Should Make Politics Local Again
With President Trump in the Oval Office, liberals who sought broad national powers during the Obama years have discovered the virtues of federalism. On issues from immigration to the environment to drug policy, they rely on states’ rights to chart a path at odds with that of Washington, D.C.
Finally, The Supreme Court Is Taking Up Gun Rights Again
On Tuesday, the Supreme Court granted review of a case involving the constitutional right to keep and bear arms. The case challenges a New York City law that prohibits transporting handguns, even licensed and unloaded ones, to places outside of the city, including to a second home or a shooting range.

The Forgotten Foot Soldiers Of The ‘Resistance’
We are still trying to fathom the apparent but transient palace-coup attempts of Rod Rosenstein and Andrew McCabe. No one has gotten to the bottom of the serial lying by McCabe and James Comey, much less their systematic and illegal leaking to pet reporters.
