Walter E. Williams: What Handouts To Cut

By |2010-08-12T23:48:02-04:00August 12th, 2010|

Professor of Economics Walter E. Williams wrote this column appearing August 11, 2010 on Townhall.com.

Because of failure to heed the limitations of the U.S. Constitution, which has produced runaway federal spending, our nation sits on the precipice of disaster. Former Senator Alan Simpson of Wyoming and Erskine Bowles, White House chief of staff under President Bill Clinton, co-chairmen of President Obama’s debt and deficit commission, in a Washington Post article “Obama’s Debt Commission Warns of Fiscal ‘Cancer'” (July 12, 2010) said that “(A)t present, federal revenue is fully consumed by three programs: Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. The rest of the […]

Jan LaRue: The Manhattan Mosque and Women

By |2010-08-07T12:33:33-04:00August 7th, 2010|

ACRU Senior Legal Analyst Jan LaRue wrote this column appearing August 7, 2010 on The American Thinker.

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, the ACLU, and the go-along-to get-along throng who support building a massive mosque at Ground Zero need to explain why they’re okay with a Shariah version of Jim Crow laws for women in America. Are they ignorant or just indifferent to backers of the mosque who promote Shariah law as compatible with U.S. law?

Is their support of a thirteen-story, $100-million mosque about two hundred feet from where the World Trade Center collapsed and nearly three thousand innocents died […]

Robert Knight: The Kagan Moral Train Wreck

By |2010-08-04T16:59:05-04:00August 4th, 2010|

ACRU Senior Fellow Robert Knight wrote this column appearing August 3, 2010 on Townhall.com.

As we watch in disbelief, the United States Senate is about to take the Fifth on a Supreme Court nominee who has no business being near a courtroom except as a defendant.

The word from Capitol Hill is that the GOP won’t even bother with a filibuster despite evidence from Elena Kagan’s Judiciary Committee hearing that she falsified evidence used in a Supreme Court case and committed what might be perjury before that committee.

One wonders what it would take for the Senate to deny this […]

Walter E. Williams: The Founders' Vision Versus Ours

By |2020-04-23T21:54:03-04:00July 20th, 2010|

ACRU Policy Board Member Walter E. Williams wrote this column appearing on the Townhall.com website on July 7, 2010.

The celebration of our founders’ 1776 revolt against King George III and the English Parliament is over. Let’s reflect how the founders might judge today’s Americans and how today’s Americans might judge them.

In 1794, when Congress appropriated $15,000 to assist some French refugees, James Madison, the acknowledged father of our Constitution, stood on the floor of the House to object, saying, “I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of […]

Ken Klukowski: Red-state Dems should save themselves, oppose Kagan

By |2020-04-23T21:54:04-04:00July 20th, 2010|

ACRU Senior Legal Analyst Ken Klukowski wrote this column appearing on WashingtonExaminer.com on July 5, 2010.

There remain three big issues weighing against Solicitor-General Elena Kagan’s confirmation to the Supreme Court. Given these three factors, Democratic senators in red states would do themselves a favor by voting against her.

During her hearings, Kagan showed herself to be friendly, engaging and intelligent. But while some issues seem to be receding to the background, she failed to dispel concerns on three constitutional issues that will doubtless come before the Court many times, on which Kagan is on the wrong side of the American people.

First, the […]

Ken Klukowski: "How Dare He Speak!"

By |2020-04-23T21:53:00-04:00February 18th, 2010|

This piece originally appeared on Townhall.com on February 17, 2010.

The ink isn’t yet dry on January’s landmark Supreme Court campaign finance decision Citizens United v. FEC, and already Round Two has begun. As new legislation is planned to limit political speech and some even call for a constitutional amendment, the courts are addressing the next round of constitutional challenges.

Last month the country’s second-highest court, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, heard arguments in SpeechNow.org v. FEC. This case was already pending at the D.C. Circuit before the Supreme Court handed down its decision in Citizens’ United. Some aspects of the […]

Ken Blackwell: Courting Disaster, America won't like Obama's Supreme Court.

By |2008-11-01T09:58:53-04:00November 1st, 2008|

Barack Obama's shocking statements from 2001 about the U.S. Supreme Court offer a deeply disturbing insight into what he hopes to achieve through remaking our highest court. Taken with what is currently at stake in the Court, it paints a picture that should cost him millions of votes on Election Day.

Thomas Sowell on Judges

By |2008-10-29T11:38:55-04:00October 29th, 2008|

Dr. Thomas Sowell’s analysis of the impact of this election on federal courts and the Constitution.

One of the biggest and most long-lasting “change” to expect if Barack Obama becomes President of the United States is in the kinds of federal judges he appoints. These include Supreme Court justices, as well as other federal justices all across the country, all of whom will have lifetime tenure.
