Due Process Denied, Judicial Rebuke: Judge...

2025/04/20

Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson III's seven-page opinion in the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia delivers a powerful critique of the Trump administration's handling of Garcia's deportation. Garcia, a Salvadoran national and Maryland resident, was mistakenly deported to El Salvador despite a 2019 court order protecting him from removal due to threats from local gangs. The administration's failure to comply with this order and its subsequent resistance to facilitating Garcia's return prompted Judge Wilkinson's

Normalcy Bias, The Bystander Effect

2025/04/17

Regrettably, in my experience as a 52-year-old woman, I have observed that a significant portion of people remain inactive in the face of a crisis unless it directly impacts their own lives. The urgency and gravity of the situation often escapes them, leaving them indifferent until the consequences knock at their own door.While there may not be a single study explicitly stating that most Americans will not act in a crisis unless it affects them personally, several psychological phenomena and

Universal Injunctions and Democracy

2025/04/16

Today, I want to talk about a development that has serious implications for our democracy. A group of law professors testified before Congress regarding the use of universal injunctions, court orders that can halt federal policies nationwide. These injunctions have been instrumental in checking executive actions that may overstep legal boundaries. Professors for various Law Schools provided insights into the history and function of universal injunctions. They discussed how these legal tools have

Deportations, Media, and the FCC: A Constitutional Clash

2025/04/16

Recently, a prominent political figure (the president) has called upon the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to revoke the broadcast license of a major television network. The catalyst? A report aired on a renowned investigative journalism program that scrutinized the administration's deportation practices. Let's unpack the contents of that report. The investigative piece revealed that 238 Venezuelan men were deported from Texas to El Salvador's maximum-security prison, known as the Center for

Echoes of Social Security

2025/04/16

Social Security has long been a cornerstone of American life, a promise that after years of hard work, there would be a safety net in our later years. But recent developments have cast a shadow over this promise. In the wake of the 2024 elections, a new governmental body was established, the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. Tasked with trimming federal expenditures, DOGE has set its sights on various programs, including Social Security. Despite assurances that entitlements like Social

The Rule of Law on Trial

2025/04/15

Today, we confront a situation that tests the very fabric of our constitutional democracy. The Supreme Court issued a directive to the executive branch: to facilitate the return of an American citizen, Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, who was wrongfully deported to El Salvador. Despite this clear mandate, the administration has not taken effective action to comply. Legal experts express concern over this defiance, warning that such disregard for judicial authority risks triggering a constitutional

China Trade Truths Revealed

2025/04/14

For decades, American leaders have painted China as the antagonist in our economic story. We've been told that Chinese companies steal intellectual property, flout international trade rules, and flood our markets with cheap, subpar goods. This portrayal has been used to justify a series of trade wars and tariffs, all in the name of protecting American interests. But what if this narrative isn't entirely accurate? What if, in some cases, it's a convenient scapegoat for deeper systemic issues within

From Muddy Roots to National Reckonings

Yesterday, I found myself face down in the mud—literally. I had rushed outside to confront a group of men cutting down trees on my property. They claimed they were working on a neighbor's trees, but I knew better. These were my trees, and they had no authorization to be there. Just two years ago, a similar crew came through, taking down 30 of our trees under the guise of easement clearing, even though such maintenance is supposed to occur every four years. Their compensation? A mere $100 certificate

SCOTUS Ruling and Democracy

2025/04/08

On April 7, 2025, the Supreme Court, in a narrow 5-4 ruling, granted the President authority to resume deportations under the Alien Enemies Act, a statute dating back to 1798. This decision overturned a previous district court injunction that had halted such actions. The Court's ruling stipulates that individuals must receive notice and an opportunity to legally contest their deportation. However, concerns have arisen regarding the administration's adherence to these stipulations. Reports indicate

In the 2024 North Carolina Supreme Court race, Democratic incumbent Justice Allison Riggs narrowly defeated Republican Judge Jefferson Griffin by a mere 734 votes. Such a slim margin underscores the vitality of every single vote in our democratic system. However, instead of conceding, Judge Griffin has embarked on a legal crusade to challenge the validity of over 60,000 ballots, including approximately 5,500 military and overseas votes.This strategy of contesting election results by challenging

The Hidden Tax of Tariffs

Tariffs, you may have heard politicians or news anchors throw that word around, but what does it really mean? And more importantly, how does it hit your wallet? Stick around, because we're breaking it down in simple terms. {A thoughtful pause by me...} Alright, let’s start with the basics. A tariff is a tax. Not on companies. Not on foreign countries. Not on rich business owners. A tax on YOU. See, when the government puts a tariff on a product from another country, it makes that product more
