Margolis: A victory for constitutional clarity as Justice Barrett shuts down Jackson’s activist dissent

By Matt Margolis | Commentary, PJ Media Justice Amy Coney Barrett has gotten a bad rap lately for siding with the leftist wing of the Supreme Court on a few cases, but if you ever needed a reminder of why ACB was such a pivotal addition to the Supreme Court, look no further than her latest majority opinion, which brutally destroyed Ketanji Brown Jackson for her moronic dissent in Trump v. CASA, Inc. In a 6-3 decision that handed President Trump a major victory, the Court put the brakes on runaway district judges issuing nationwide injunctions — an abuse that’s become the left’s favorite tool for stalling any policy they dislike. Jackson’s dissent veered into unhinged territory, and she wildly accused the administration of asking the court for “permission to engage in unlawful beha...

Garbo: Sanctuary policies led to chaos—and now they’re blaming ICE

By C. J. Garbo | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice The chaos unfolding in Los Angeles isn’t just disturbing, it’s the natural result of years of political cowardice and ideological extremism. The riots erupting in response to ICE’s lawful enforcement of deportation orders are not acts of civil disobedience. They are acts of defiance against the rule of law itself. And the blame lies squarely at the feet of Democratic leadership in California, who declared Los Angeles a “sanctuary city,” emboldening illegal activity while abandoning their sworn duty to protect American citizens. Let’s be clear: no elected official has the right to nullify federal law to score political points. Yet that’s exactly what California’s leadership has done - undermining immigration enforcement, encourag...

Bhagat and Terjesen: To stay competitive, U.S. markets must reward performance—not politics

By Sanjai Bhagat and Siri Terjesen | The Daily Signal President Donald Trump’s America First Investment Policy touts that welcoming foreign investment and strengthening the United States’ “world-leading private and public capital markets will be a key part of America’s Golden Age.” Of the $124 trillion market capitalization of the global stock market, U.S. stocks account for 49%, and international investors own 17% of those U.S. stocks. By comparison, Chinese stocks comprise 13% of the global stock market, and international equity ownership of Chinese stocks is just 3.4%. Why does the U.S. stock market dominate internationally? Why are international investors attracted to the U.S. stock market? What can U.S. policymakers do to increase the a...

John Fabbricatore details ICE detainee process as state pushes back against federal enforcement

By Alliyah Sims | Fox31 DENVER (KDVR) — FOX31 is learning that 105 people were detained at an underground nightclub bust in Colorado Springs over the weekend. That’s down from the original reported count of 114. The Drug Enforcement Administration said nine people had previous contact with immigration officials. The Colorado Springs Police Department told FOX31 that two people were arrested on existing warrants. One was arrested for a warrant out of Denver for assault, criminal mischief and child abuse. The other was wanted in Adams County for a misdemeanor. John Fabbricatore, former ICE Regional Director, told FOX31 that when there are that many people in custody, the process can take a while, and it really matters where people are going. He said that processing one single ...

Aurora’s 3-strike vehicle law: Nearly 1,000 off the streets as crackdown unfolds

By Vicente Arenas | Fox31 AURORA, Colo. (KDVR) — Aurora Police Department statistics show 920 vehicles have been impounded under the city’s new three-strikes seizure law. Ward IV Council member Stephanie Hancock sponsored the city’s new traffic law. “I think the concern with our constituents has been, ‘Why are there so many cars with expired tags or no license plates at all on the roads?’ It’s very likely these cars don’t have insurance,” Hancock said. In Aurora, vehicles can be seized when a driver lacks a license, insurance and registration. Pictures of some of the vehicles that have been seized and sold can be seen on the Roller Auction website. When the new law went into effect, FOX31 saw several expired plates in just one location. APD said there are also a...

Krannawitter: The budget and rule of law

By Thomas L. Krannawitter, Ph.D. , Substack, Commentary Think the rule of law is important? Then the joke is on you. The rule of law has been murdered—it is dead, or close to it. And the prime suspect is the very body that writes laws: Congress. In 1974, Congress passed The Congressional Budget Act, a law prescribing a proper, formal annual budget process that features separate itemized appropriations bills that are supposed to be passed on time like clockwork. Congress didn’t have to create this kind of law binding on itself, but it did. READ THE FULL STORY AT SUBSTACK
