A Brief Memorial to Justice Scalia
I was shocked by the sudden death of Justice Scalia this past weekend. I will not say that he was my favorite member of the current Court or that I always agreed with his opinions, but I certainly agreed with him much more often than not. As a law professor, he served as a mentor … Continue reading A Brief Memorial to Justice Scalia

Birthright Citizenship in a Lone Star State of Mind
I have previously blogged about a contentious remark from the last Republican Presidential Debate. The catalyst of that conversation about Birthright Citizenship was what I deemed to be a certain candidate's peculiar (and misleading) over-simplification of what he views to be current U.S. Law's abhorrently liberal stance on Birthright Citizenship. Specifically, I underlined in the course of that blog-entry … Continue reading Birthright Citizenship in a Lone Star State of Mind
DAPA and the fog of (political) war
As some of the readers of this Blog may have noticed, I have been interested in chronicling (or at least, following) the much-embattled executive Action known as DACA ("Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals"). See my previous post---> Happy Birthday, DACA! I did make mention in that post of the current legal quagmire that DACA's companion executive Action, DAPA ("Deferred … Continue reading DAPA and the fog of (political) war
New Jersey Supreme Court: Warrant Requirement a Burden on Citizens
There has been a lot of commentary on the recent New Jersey Supreme Court case, State v. William L. Witt, (A-9-14)(074468), which essentially did away with a warrant requirement for the search of a vehicle in many circumstances. What the Court ultimately ruled was that, like Pennsylvania a little over a year ago, New Jersey … Continue reading New Jersey Supreme Court: Warrant Requirement a Burden on Citizens
A Brief Overview of Constitutional Litigation
By Allen Thompson, Esq. I talk to a lot of people about the U.S. Constitution, the rights guaranteed by it, and whether a governmental entity or agent has violated those rights. The courts, over the last two centuries or so, have built up doctrines and analyses to determine whether the government has violated an individual’s … Continue reading A Brief Overview of Constitutional Litigation
Words Hurt Too/Two
It has been a tumultuous past couple of weeks for SCOTUS watchers. Rarely has the Court issued a series of opinions of such sweep and contention. The reader may recall my earlier coverage of the oral arguments of a particular case from this 2014 session, Kingsley v. Hendrickson. Forgetting is understandable in light of a … Continue reading Words Hurt Too/Two
