June 29, 2013
Jennifer Gratz's legal battle had dragged on for 5½ years when it ended in 2003 with a 6-3 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in her favor. She tells me she felt as if she'd "been kicked in the gut." If that seems an unusual reaction to a victory, it's because the circumstances made it Pyrrhic. Ms. Gratz, then 25, had sued to challenge the University of ...Go To Article

STEVEN GREENHUT:: Let’s Divorce Marriage from the Government – Reason
June 29, 2013
As a kid, I remember watching a rerun of the 1952 I Love Lucy Show episode in which Lucy finds her marriage license while cleaning out a closet. She discovers, to her horror, a typo that refers to husband Ricky’s last name as Bacardi rather than Ricardo, which causes her to question the legality of her marriage. The ensuing hijinks are the makings ...Go To Article

ANDREW C. McCARTHY:: Shelby and the Left’s False Narrative | NRO
June 28, 2013
By Andrew C. McCarthy -- For anyone other than a “social justice” demagogue, the Supreme Court’s Shelby decision, striking down Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act (VRA), is cause for celebration.

Blame-mankind “scientists” can't explain global warming's virtual halt since 1997 ...Go To Article
