Reactions to Jimmy Carter’s death have a bit of the feel of socialism’s defenders who say the system, despite apparent failures, has never really been tried. Evangelicals who lean left are using Carter’s legacy to take a win for their brand of faith-based politics and jab at both the Religious Right and MAGA evangelicals. They rarely admit that Carter’s presidency...

　　Antitrust law faces a crisis of complexity. Designed originally as a straightforward mechanism to maintain competition, it has devolved into a realm dominated by economic modeling, arbitrary market definitions, and prolonged litigation and merger reviews. By the time courts render a final judgment, the underlying technology has advanced, the market has shifted, and the world has moved on. The transition...

　　TikTok is democracy in its rawest form. All that matters on the video-sharing platform is mass appeal and virality (so long as it does not offend the sensibilities of the Chinese Communist Party). The app debases its users to anonymous atoms, equal to everyone else, only powerful insofar as they belong to a crowd. Content succeeds on TikTok not because...

　　In recent weeks as a new presidential administration took power, legal and policy experts have hotly debated both the prudence and the justice of birthright citizenship. Does the Fourteenth Amendment require granting American citizenship to everyone born on these shores? Or does that interpretation of the citizenship clause go too far? In this symposium, two Law Liberty contributors dive into...

　　Contrary to longstanding practice, President Trump’s recent executive order purports to reinterpret the Constitution to recognize constitutional birthright citizenship only for US-born children with at least one parent who is a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident. In particular, the order would deny citizenship to US-born children of lawful temporary visitors and of persons not lawfully present in the...

　　America prides itself on being a land where individuals and businesses can plan their futures. Control over the design of your life is essential to liberty, and the nation prospers when people know that their enterprises and investments will be immune from arbitrary enforcement. However, in a world of wide-ranging regulations—covering everything from cryptocurrency markets to healthcare to environmental standards—the...

　　A Love That Lasts 　　By Aaron D’Anthony Brown 　　Bible Reading: 　　“Love is patient, love is kind. Love does not envy, is not boastful, is not arrogant, is not rude, is not self-seeking, is not irritable, and does not keep a record of wrongs. Love finds no joy in unrighteousness but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all...

　　In the waning days of his presidency, Joe Biden put out a statement declaring that “the Equal Rights Amendment is the law of the land.” That came as a surprise to many, since the last state to ratify the amendment was Indiana in 1977, and the last state to pretend to ratify it was Virginia in 2020. 　　The Equal Rights...
