  • Be Careful, Mr President!

    This is what Justice Gorsuch said during a recent interview with Fox News. To be precise, the following is a direct quote from the above NBC article, which includes the exact statements he made during the interview: Asked by Fox News’ Shannon Bream to respond to Biden’s proposal, Gorsuch told her, “You’re not going to…

  • Statutes of Limitation

    It is not too difficult to find laws that seem counter-intuitive. For example, if I understand correctly, in both state and federal laws, the request for recusal of a judge from a case should first be handled by the judge himself. That is, the very same judge that is being requested to be recused, for…

  • You won’t have to vote again

I am not going to repeat my reasoning for feeling entitled to express my opinions in these matters without having a law degree. Please refer to the first paragraph of “Bribe, or Gratuity?” for more on that. This case is…

  • Do Supreme Court Justices Appreciate the Absurdity of Some of Their Own Rulings?

    I have been wondering about this a lot in recent days. It is clear that this question is not relevant to the three liberal justices dissenting most if not all of the recent absurd rulings. As for the remaining six conservative Republican-appointed justices, I would like to say that the answer is yes. But then,…
