  • There's discrimination, then there's discrimination

  • Limits of Judiciary Power

    For my next trick, I will defend free speech without referring to the First Amendment. The English language has over ten thousand words. It has so many words, because the connotative defitions of closely related words lead to unique meanings for each one. Our language is a collection of precision tools, and in courtrooms, it is wielded ...
