Ninth Circuit battle: May Arizona deny driver’s licenses to beneficiaries of Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program?
"Executive power favors the party, or perhaps simply the person, who wields it. That power is the forbidden fruit of our politics, irresistible to those who possess it and reviled by those who don’t."
Google must turn over foreign-stored emails pursuant to a warrant, court rules
A new decision disagrees with the Second Circuit's Microsoft Ireland warrant case. Here's a summary of the decision, together with a few thoughts on its reasoning.
Video of Reason Foundation panel on “Immigration Reform in the Era of Trump”
Video of a recent Reason Foundation panel on the economic, moral, and civil liberties impact of Trump's immigration policies.

On Gorsuch, Garland and inconsistency
Gorsuch is a good pick. But that's not to say that the Democrats don't have good cause to try to block the appointment.

Maybe he's just siding with the law as Congress wrote it.
