In the wake of the Supreme Court decision striking down New York’s “may issue” concealed carry regime that allowed local authorities unfettered power to deny concealed carry applications to anyone they decided hadn’t demonstrated a need for one, applications in many New York counties soared. But after the deceptively named Concealed Carry Improvement Act was swiftly adopted by New York lawmakers in response to the Bruen decision, some counties are now seeing a precipitous drop in the number of applicants.
Who is in charge of your children? That has been a perennial question that has grown in importance over the last few years. When I was a child, it was understood that, with rare exceptions, parents were in charge of a child’s upbringing. This included medical, religious, and educational decisions. However, over the last few decades, the role of the parent in these decisions has been replaced by experts. What happens when the goal of the experts differs from those of the parents? Who decides the future of the rising generations? It was understood that the state acted in loco parentis, in place of the parents, only for the safety of the child. A recent case in U.S. District Court shows that be it health departments, child services, schools, or even the courts. Government not only believes they know better than the parents, they are more than willing to act in loco parentis tyrannis.

In this third installment of the three-part series on the branches of government, we look at the role of the third and weakest branch. At least that is what our Founding Fathers thought of it. What is the role of the federal judiciary? What are the extent of their powers, how do they related to the other two branches of government, and why is a proper understanding of the role of the judiciary critical if the United States is to remain a constitutional republic?

Flock and other Automatic License Plate Readers (ALPRs) have been in the news lately, and the news has not been good. Reports of abuse of ALPRs, lawsuits, and even a few arrests have put most everyone on edge when it comes to this surveillance technology. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has proposed federal legislation, but will this cure make things better or worse?
