After a busy yr at Cato (thanks, innumerable const'l crises!), I'm headed back to the courtroom & to @pacificlegal. I can't help it. I miss suing the gov (& Elizabeth Slattery). So much respect for the beacon of liberty that is Cato. Looking forward to the future w/PLF! Stay tuned...

*Marcus Aurelius performing the public duties of emperor while a plague devastates Rome, the Tiber River floods, his children keep dying, he's betrayed by his most trusted general, and his health fails*

From alarmists?

Watch this Cato event! 'Beyond the Fourteenth Amendment: Protecting the Right to Earn a Living' with A lady Clark Neily Timothy Sandefur and others cato.org/events/beyond-…

Cato Institute thank you for the excellent discussion around “Protecting the Right to Earn a Living.” It reminds us:

Capitalism is literally the Great Equalizer, it’s fundamental to economic opportunity for ALL. 🇺🇸

Today!

Me, thinking it’s going to be a normal week where one of my kids isn’t sick.

Oculus and virtual reality for famous points in time: MLK I have a dream speech, Tiananmen Square, constitutional convention, etc.

That’s all. That’s the tweet (and million dollar idea).

Just ran this category and have never been prouder. Jeopardy!

The circle of life:

Govt kills jobs; claims govt is needed to create jobs.

Govt raises home prices; claims govt is needed to provide housing.

Govt causes inflation; claims govt is needed to reduce it.

Govt causes resource shortages, claims it’s needed to resolve

&c

The problem is that the government no longer cares.

Was reading through the Biden press release on student loan cancellations and I stumbled upon this gem. Say it with me: cancelling debt is not 'fixing the system' and in fact exacerbates it.

Avigdor Loeb A lady The government has this... habit of violating civil rights, stopping when they're sued and then arguing that the case is moot because they stopped and they promise (maybe) never to do it again (exactly the same way, that is).
Too many judges have bought this nonsense.

Wait, Fikre is out and the Supreme Court ruled against the govt’s standing/ripeness/mootness shenanigans? Someone please come scoop my jaw off the ground.
