The Storytelling of Clint Eastwood – Emina Melonic

Jan 10, 2025 | lawliberty.org | Emina Melonic |Austin Raynor |Alex J. Pollock |Max Skjönsberg

Clint Eastwood is an unstoppable force. An actor and a director who has been building his career since his first appearance on screen in 1955, Eastwood, now 94 years old, has directed and produced a new film. Juror #2 was released in November, and like many of Eastwood’s films, it deals with justice and moral dilemmas that characters face. In the final analysis, it is a moving film that captures the complexity of human life while pointing to the redemptive power of truth.

Jan 9, 2025 | lawliberty.org | Adam Candeub |Alex J. Pollock |Max Skjönsberg |Daniel Mahoney

January 9, 2025 In the wake of technological revolution, the Supreme Court should let states and parents protect their children from online pornography. The smartphone has transformed American childhood. Kids today respond above all to social media’s panopticon of perpetual peer judgment and corporate-funded online influencers. As a result, kids have less need for the approval of parents, teachers, coaches, and ministers.
Sleep Training the American People – Rachel Lu

Jan 9, 2025 | lawliberty.org | Rachel Lu |Alex J. Pollock |Max Skjönsberg |Daniel Mahoney

January 9, 2025 Sleep experts are anxious to end Daylight Savings, because they want to put us to bed like toddlers. As a new chapter opens for American politics, it is natural to feel a certain uneasiness. What lies ahead? Will Americans continue to enjoy the peace and prosperity with which we have for so long been blessed, or will our way of life be torn asunder, as customs and conventions are reordered by an aggressive state?
Age-Verification Laws are a Verified Mistake – Corbin K. Barthold

Jan 9, 2025 | lawliberty.org | Corbin K. Barthold |Alex J. Pollock |Max Skjönsberg |Daniel Mahoney

During Robert Bork’s bruising nomination process in 1987, a reporter realized that he and Bork frequented the same video store. This reporter hit on the idea of asking to see Bork’s rental history, and, lo and behold, a clerk coughed it right up. The list was not what sank Bork’s nomination—the good judge was fond of Cary Grant and Alfred Hitchcock; there was nothing salacious. But there could have been, and lawmakers on both sides of the aisle were scandalized by the invasion of Bork’s privacy.
The Supreme Court and Online Age Verification – Law & Liberty Editors

Jan 9, 2025 | lawliberty.org | Adam Candeub |Alex J. Pollock |Max Skjönsberg |Daniel Mahoney

This month, the Supreme Court will hear arguments in a key case, Free Speech Coalition v. Paxton, about state-level mandates for age verification measures to access online pornography. On the one hand, proponents of these laws argue they will protect children from inappropriate content. On the other, critics argue they pose a serious threat to free speech. Two Law & Liberty contributors weigh in.
A New Kind of Astronaut – G. Patrick Lynch

Jan 8, 2025 | lawliberty.org | G. Patrick Lynch |Alex J. Pollock |Max Skjönsberg |Daniel Mahoney

Two themes dominated the story of the first American pioneers who ventured into space. The first was the remarkable bravery and heroism that the world’s first generation of space explorers displayed in breaking the bonds of Earth’s gravitational force, both literally and figuratively. The second was the national character of the endeavor. The men who first ventured into space were no mere mortals.
Our Forgotten Founding Mother – Brenda M. Hafera

Jan 8, 2025 | lawliberty.org | Brenda Hafera |Alex J. Pollock |Max Skjönsberg |Daniel Mahoney

January 8, 2025 Mercy Otis Warren stands at the head of a long tradition of freedom-minded women pursuing civic virtue. Most Americans don’t have to strain too hard to name at least a couple of our Founding Fathers, but what about our Founding Mothers? Some might say Abigail Adams or Dolley Madison, but they’re far less likely to identify the woman who wrote a comprehensive history of the American Revolution: Mercy Otis Warren.
Burke, a Prophet of Modern Politics – Max Skjönsberg

Jan 2, 2025 | lawliberty.org | Max Skjönsberg

Edmund Burke’s Thoughts on the Cause of the Present Discontents(1770) is the most notable among his early political pamphlets, and perhaps his most famous overall alongside the Reflections on the Revolution in France(1790). While the Reflections has become a classic of conservatism, it was the Present Discontents that let Burke keep his hero status among Whigs and liberals in the nineteenth century.

Illegitimate Attacks on the Court’s Legitimacy – John O. McGinnis

Oct 24, 2024 | lawliberty.org | John O. McGinnis |Alex J. Pollock |Max Skjönsberg |Daniel Mahoney

Journalists and professors have formed a ululating chorus mourning the loss of the Supreme Court’s legitimacy. Their laments often include suggestions about how that legitimacy might be regained. However, they conspicuously neglect to mention that the greatest threat to the Court comes not from within but from the baseless assaults that many of their colleagues have launched.
