The United States Supreme Court recently handed down a 7–2 decision extending its block on President Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan nationals. At the heart of the issue is the administration’s effort to expel individuals suspected of affiliation with violent gangs—most notably the notorious Tren de Aragua. The ruling temporarily…
Citizenship, Sovereignty, and the Scales of Justice
The Supreme Court is once again at the center of a national debate with far-reaching consequences. At stake is President Trump’s Executive Order 14160, which aims to end birthright citizenship for children born on U.S. soil to non-citizen parents. This move reignites a long-standing and emotionally charged conversation about the meaning of citizenship, national sovereignty,…
David Souter: A Conservative Cautionary Tale on the Supreme Court
When Americans think of Supreme Court justices, they often picture towering legal minds who leave a clear, principled mark on the nation's laws. But sometimes, a justice’s legacy serves more as a cautionary tale than a beacon. Such is the case with David Souter, who recently passed away and left behind a complex judicial record…
Mifepristone, State Sovereignty, and the Battle for Life: Why the States Must Have the Right to Sue
In the ever-escalating cultural and constitutional war over abortion in America, the fight over mifepristone—the so-called “abortion pill”—has emerged as ground zero. Recently, Idaho, Kansas, and Missouri filed a lawsuit challenging the FDA’s loosened restrictions on mifepristone, arguing that federal approval and telehealth access undermine their pro-life laws. President Trump’s Department of Justice is asking…
Tattoos, Truth, and Discernment
In a time when images can be edited with the swipe of a finger, and truth can be twisted into something barely recognizable, we are reminded just how critical discernment is — not only as citizens, but especially as Christians. The story of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland father of three wrongly deported to El…

The saga of Kilmar Abrego Garcia is not just another bureaucratic mishap swept under the rug. It’s a constitutional crossroads, a diplomatic standoff, and a gut-check moment for a nation that prides itself on being a beacon of justice and due process.

Righteous Ends Demand Righteous Means
So, the Supreme Court just handed down a decision that looks like a win for President Trump on the surface, but when you scratch a little deeper, it’s actually a warning shot — one that conservatives, constitutionalists, and anyone who still believes in the rule of law would do well to heed. At the heart…
Wrong Tool for the Job: Why the Alien Enemies Act Was Misapplied
Yesterday, I wrote an article arguing that the Alien Enemies Act (AEA) was the wrong legal tool to deport members of Tren de Aragua (TdA)—a position that my fellow conservative over at The Conservative TAKE strongly disagrees with. You can read his counterargument here. While he raises some valid points, his overall argument is fundamentally…
Foreign Aid, Fiscal Responsibility, and a Smarter Way Forward
Foreign aid has always been a hot-button issue in American politics. To some, it represents the best of America—our generosity, leadership, and commitment to helping those in need. To others, it’s an example of out-of-control government spending, too often wasted on corrupt regimes, ineffective programs, and nations that don’t have our best interests at heart.…
The Adams Case: A Justice System in Crisis
Another day, another political scandal—only this time, the story isn’t about corruption itself but about the disturbing way in which justice is being manipulated to serve political ends.
