#FourthOfJuly I often quote the Founders on Independence Day and that’s important to celebrate. Today, however, Galatians 5:1. “Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.”

Today marks the 9th anniversary of Justice Antonin Scalia’s passing. With his indefatigable commitment to constitutional originalism and textualism, Justice Scalia helped build what is the modern conservative legal movement. Thanks to him, we think about the law and the role of courts much differently than we did a generation ago.
“They call it the living Constitution...I will call mine an enduring Constitution, one that doesn't change, one that has the force and the meaning today that it had when it was adopted. But the living Constitution, as I told you, is popular not only among lawyers, judges, and law professors, it has drifted down to the people.”
JD Vance just gave a speech in Paris re: more than just AI, that was so profound about America’s future- look it up-an excerpt: “we can trust our people, to think, to consume information, to develop their own ideas, and to debate with one another in the open marketplace of ideas"

…inalienable: not transferable to another or not capable of being taken away or denied; not alienable. Our rights most certainly come from God the creator. They are natural. They do not come from the gov’t. That’s why the founding documents say our #rights are “unalienable”.

Just sharing—Our beautiful daughter Zoe is 23 today. Happy birthday! Her brother Thomas traveled to join in the celebratory dinner last night. The family gang was back together again. #blessed
Sandra Day O’Connor, first woman on the Supreme Court, has passed away. Appointed by President Reagan, she came from humble beginnings on a rough ranch in Arizona to become a trailblazer in the law. Even though I didn’t always agree with her opinions, I respected her brilliance.
