Government School Malfeasance: Thoughts From Maharrey Head 154

You cannot simultaneously support perpetual warfare abroad and limited government at home. Most people tend to separate domestic and foreign policy. The problem is, the two are intimately intertwined, and the things that happen "over there" don't stay over there. They always end up having an impact here at home, as I explain in this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head.

Impeachment! Meanwhile... Thoughts From Maharrey Head 151

This week's episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head is a hard dose of reality. Both Republicans and Democrats claim to revere the Constitution. But do they? Really? I don't think they do. In fact, I think the vast majority of politicians, including the current president, view the Constitution as nothing but a prop in their political theater.

The Constitution Is a Political Prop: Thoughts From Maharrey Head 150

Progressives don't like it so much when the government expands its own power in ways they don't like. One of the first articles I wrote for the Constitution 101 series was titled "Living and Breathing Is Dead." It makes the fundamental point that if the government can interpret and apply the Constitution in such a way that it expands its own power, the Constitution itself is meaningless. You can't have "rule of law" when the "rule of law" is subject to reinterpretation at the whim of government judges, bureaucrats and elected officials. A constitution must mean what it was intended to mean when ratified, or it's really pointless to have one. Progressives (on both the left and the right) have pushed this notion of a "living breathing" Constitution for decades in order to further their own policy agendas. Well, some folks in Florida recently got a nasty dose of their own medicine when a state judge essentially said city governments get to interpret statutes as they see fit. While this wasn't a constitutional issue, it illustrates the danger of "living breathing law." In this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head, I talk about it.
