Posted on January 02, 2011Chicago's new ordinance demands careful review, and many questions still need to be answered about its implementation. But some things are readily apparent.

Posted on January 02, 2011Three quick items: 1. The Court has granted the American Legislative Exchange Council’s motion to file an amicus brief on our side. ALEC had given only two days notice of their amicus brief, and Chicago did not consent to the late filing, but neither did the Respondents file an opposition to that motion...

Reason Chimes In
Posted on December 03, 2009Brian Doherty at Reason Online offers a look at some of the controversy surrounding our “radical” desire to have the Court enforce the actual text of the Constitution as it was popularly understood by the people who ratified it.
