Constitutional Law

When the government forces you to subsidize an organization or the beliefs of others you personally disagree with, that is the very opposite of granting you a 'choice.' 

Although originally intended to be a view of the law to educate our clients, the term 'above the law' has steadily been reshaped by a former president.

The only thing worse than Joshua Garton’s fake photograph desecrating the grave of a dead police officer is the decision to arrest him for it. 

When Twitter blocked the current president, it was expected that his staunchest supporters would cry foul, but I was shocked to see reasonable people also express dire concern.

The false narrative of religious victimization appears to dominate at the Supreme Court, yet one district court judge has struck back.

It makes perfect sense. Until you read the 14th Amendment!

There is no justifiable reason to continue such an abused, ineffective, and (should be) unconstitutional practice. 

Respect for pluralism is one thing, trying to make nonbeliever rights submissive to conservative religious views is entirely another. 

If the virus continues to spread, our right to not be placed on a ventilator at a hospital ICU comes first.

Conversion therapy is based on bigoted religious metaphysics, and it can be heartbreakingly harmful, but government compelling or restricting doctor speech also plainly violates the First Amendment.

No matter where you stand on the social or political spectrum, it is not hard for reasonable people to agree there are some societal issues that are troubling the citizenry.

If religious bigotry can deny foster children in a government program access to the best available caregivers, there is probably not much else religious bigots cannot take.

For almost 50 years, the conservative legal movement has maintained a working majority over the federal judiciary, but has individual liberty strengthened over this time period?

On the first day of the new SCOTUS term, the desire to make the professed doctrines of religious belief superior to the law of the land was reaffirmed. 

Bad cops are on notice there's pretty much nothing they can do to escape the consequences of their own actions.

Our collective history as a nation has shown the Constitution is wholly adequate to the government of believers and nonbelievers alike.

In an era that has seen extraordinary decreases in rates of gun violence, California’s attempt to criminalize magazines that come standard on many guns has failed.  

Although government has granted religious belief (of all kinds) extraordinary preference, in order for nonbelievers to assert their free conscience rights they will have to face a hostile and openly disdainful judiciary. 

When it comes to the protests and law enforcement in Portland, many only see what they want.

Could we see the passage of Constitutional amendments which will try to stitch the country together again after this time of divisiveness?
