Democratic Proposals to Alter the Court Continue to Be Terrifying
Brenna Lewis | October 23, 2020
Unfortunately, Thursday’s presidential debate failed to mention the issue of court packing; the American people were once more denied full transparency when it comes to knowing just how much Joe Biden would transform the courts. We’ve written plenty before about Democratic proposals to pack the Supreme Court, though, because there is plenty at stake. It doesn’t help that Joe Biden

The results are in from a September 30-October 15 Gallup poll and the American people want to see Judge Amy Coney Barrett confirmed to the U.S. Supreme Court, by 51 to 46 percent. And, “the public is likely to continue to back Barrett’s confirmation,” according to poll analysis. The results are so decisive because only 3 percent have “no opinion,” the
Students for Life of America Team Members Once More Met with Violence For Peaceful Counter-Protest
Brenna Lewis | October 17, 2020
One might think that an event called the Women’s March, where its speakers and attendees claim to be speaking for women, all women would be treated with respect. Angry protesters, however, couldn’t handle the presence of a viewpoint which dared to challenge their pro-abortion narrative. They couldn’t help themselves from committing harassment, assault, and vandalism. Our team members were pushed,
Roe v. Wade is Not a ‘Super Precedent:’ Here’s Why That Matters
Brenna Lewis | October 15, 2020
Whether or not Judge Amy Coney Barrett would reverse Roe v. Wade inevitably came up during Day Two of her confirmation hearings. Senators had this on their minds, as well as to what Judge Barrett’s personal views were on the decision, if she had discussed ruling on the decision with President Trump, and, most importantly, how Roe v. Wade is not a

Senator Cory Booker Easily Wins Award for Most Hysterical Fear-Mongering on Roe v. Wade
Brenna Lewis | October 12, 2020
Judge Amy Coney Barrett has not even been confirmed to the Supreme Court, yet Democrats are already in hysterics over the fate of the Roe v. Wade. Perhaps the most absurd warnings came from Senator Cory Booker. He used his time to explain how “people are scared right now… because they know what a future without the protections of Roe

Democrats Don’t Know What “Court Packing” Means
Brenna Lewis | October 12, 2020
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have engaged in quite the show of mental gymnastics with their non-answers on the integral question about if they will pack the Supreme Court by adding more members to the Court than the typical nine. The new talking point is even more bizarre, with Biden and other Democrats claiming that it’s Republicans who are
So, What Did We Learn from the Vice Presidential Debate?
Brenna Lewis | October 8, 2020
Last night was the first Vice Presidential debate between Senator Kamala Harris and Vice President Mike Pence. For anyone who was able to ignore the attention-hungry fly that took up residence on Pence’s head for a few minutes, they actually enjoyed a fairly civil and productive conversation between these very different politicians. There was still moderator bias from Susan Page
