Law professor Adrian Vermeule thinks America would be better off without individual liberty. It’s an increasingly popular view among a faction of conservatives.

Dying for the Dow Jones Industrial Average is now an essential part of MAGA dogma.

Last week, he appeared to finally take the coronavirus seriously. But it’s becoming clear that he’s only worried about his presidency and bank account.

There’s only one sure way to balance the needs of public health and the health of our democracy.

He has pledged to pick a woman for vice president and a black woman for the Supreme Court. That’s not as unusual as it sounds.

Congress should launch an inquiry into the administration’s botched response to the pandemic.

Whoever gets tapped as the next Democratic attorney general could potentially define a presidency and reset a wayward Justice Department.

The vanquished Democratic presidential candidate understands power better than any of her rivals.

The Supreme Court will decide whether Elizabeth Warren’s brainchild will continue to exist, or if it’ll merely expand Donald Trump’s power over it.

The Roberts court is poised to undo the late Justice’s landmark ruling on religious freedom and government overreach.

This is how the no-longer-independent Justice Department can be deployed against the president’s 2020 opponent.

The president's crony attorney general is bent on whitewashing the administration's misdeeds, forever scarring the department's integrity.

The ideals that prompted a revival of classical edifices in America are stronger, and better, than the president who wants to force their return.
