    'Messing With The Constitution'

    In recent years, a small but growing number of people have advocated a convention of states to propose amendments to the Constitution of the United States. The reaction to the proposal has been hostile, out of all proportion to either the originality or the danger of such a convention.

    Obama's Hope For Peace Led To Bolder Foes, Frayed Alliances

    President Obama came into office believing he could repair America’s standing in the world; he would restore our alliance relations while offering an open hand to our adversaries, and in doing so make the world safer. The legacy of his presidency will instead be a more dangerous international order, deeply distrustful allies and emboldened adversaries.

    ‘War And Peace’ Today

    There can never be too many adaptations of “War and Peace,” the greatest novel ever written. I therefore welcome the BBC’s new six-part series soon to air in the United States. For me, however, it is no mere substitute for “Downton Abbey.” Its themes are far more profound, and more urgent.

    An Economic Policy–Performance Cycle

    For several years I have writing about an cycle in which economic policy swings toward and away from certain key principles of economic freedom. The poor performance of the U.S. economy during the past decade —the Great Recession, the Not-So-Great Recovery, the stagnation of real income growth—can be traced to a Great Deviation from these principles, or, as John Cochrane writes, to an Era of Great Forgetting of what policy works well.

    Public School Teachers More Likely To Use Private Schools For Their Own Kids

    The Supreme Court, in Friedrichs v. California Teachers Association (CTA), is now considering whether all teachers should be required to pay union determined “agency fees” for collective bargaining services, whether or not the teacher wants them.

    Justice Bolick Frightens The Statists

    On January 6, Arizona’s governor Doug Ducey announced that he was appointing Clint Bolick to a vacancy on the state’s supreme court. I think this is a splendid development, but it also has statists in a tizzy. Bolick, you see, is not your typical Republican judicial appointment.

    GOP To Fed: Explain Yourself

    With little notice outside the Federal Reserve itself, congressional Republicans have developed a plan to reform the Fed by overhauling the way it conducts monetary policy.
