Last month, three states joined State National Bank of Big Spring, Texas, along with the Competitive Enterprise Institute and the 60 Plus Association, in a major lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Dodd-Frank. The lawsuit is the latest example of the important role that state attorneys general can play when it comes to resisting the federal government's excesses. From Obamacare to the Environmental Protection Agency, the Obama administration has learned that it must deal with attorneys general who are willing to go to court to enforce the Constitution's limits on federal power. Unfortunately, there is at least one Republican attorney general who would rather sit on his hands while the Obama administration takes a wrecking ball to our Constitution and our economy. Indiana's Repu...
The first Congress enacted the first federal habeas corpus protections in the Judiciary Act of 1789,5 and that Act explicitly prohibited the use of the writ of habeas corpus in certain circumstances.6 If the Founders had understood that the Constitution created an absolute right to the writ in all circumstances, it would have been anomalous to enact only a partial creation of the writ by statute.7 As described below, the federal habeas writ is understood to derive from legislative power, not judicial power, and its application and scope have been understood to be within the power of Congress. It was feared that the disloyal inhabitants along his line of march would give such aid and information to the British commander as to imperil the safety of our cause.\n'46 Also, whereas allowing ...

There's an old saying in Washington that once you get to the nation's capital, you "never go back to Pocatello." The intoxicating brew of power and glory that comes from national politics is too great to give up once it's been tasted. After a presidential administration closes up shop, it's not unusual for many of its people to stick around D.C., where they can capitalize on their experience with the ins and outs of Beltway politics. If the next administration is friendly, chances are there will be jobs aplenty. And many aspire to the role of political pundit (think David Gergen or George Stephanopoulos) or Washington wise man (Ronald Reagan's Attorney General Ed Meese and George H.W. Bush's consigliere James Baker are prime examples). My sense of conservatives here in the Republican P...

Certain people in power can sometimes best be understood through the prism of how they grew up, says Bill Minutaglio, author of First Son: George W. Bush and the Bush Family Dynasty, and City on Fire: The Forgotten Disaster That Devastated a Town and Ignited a Landmark Legal Battle. He writes that, "The process of 'ascendance' is so important in understanding and deconstructing the 'practice' and even the abuses of power." This process is the subject of Minutaglio's latest book, : The Rise to Power of Alberto Gonzales. Based on more than 200 interviews with "colleagues, close friends, and fierce critics," the book is indispensable reading for anyone who seeks to understand Gonzales or the state that produced him. Minutaglio traces the rise of the young man from ...
