This is a little arcane! LOL!. But the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago allowed US District Judge William Conley’s ruling on absentee ballots in Wisconsin stand. I complained last week about Judge Conley’s late rulings on all of this…and this isn’t over yet despite it being just weeks…

It isn’t any wonder that Federal Judge Amy Coney Barrett is drawing a lot of scrutiny as she is one of the women on President Donald Trump’s shortlist for appointments to the Supreme Court. And the president has stated on a number of occasions that he plans to nominate a…

In 2020 we face a serious Constitutional crisis if we don’t have nine justices on November 3rd. Well this is hogwash.

After the anger, the crying, the counter accusations, the obfuscation, the boldfaced lies, it is obvious that Judge…

Yes that is hyperbole…and then again it isn’t. I don’t know much about President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Judge Neil Gorsuch, so I don’t know what kind of jurist he’ll be. But from the headlines in my inbox, he is the harbinger of doom. But I don’t intend to go…
