    512 - Free Speech Reprieve in Hawaii
    Mar 2 2026
    The Hawaiian legislature passed Act 191 in an attempt to prohibit "materially deceptive media" that would harm the "reputation or electoral prospects of a candidate in an election". This seems like an infringement on free speech. Thankfully the District Court for the District of Hawaii agreed.

    510 - When Governments Replace Parents
    Feb 16 2026

    We've all heard of the Nanny State, when government stops representing the people and tries to parent them.

However they never seem to learn that when the state tries to act as the parent, they not only fail, but often abuse the very children they claim to protect.

While Tennessee claims to have constitutional carry, their constitution places a but in that. A recent case in Tennessee Chancery Court asks whether two laws restricting someone's ability to bear arms is constitutional or not.

    506 - Copyright Shakedown
    Jan 19 2026
    Copyrights and patents are important protections for inventors, authors, and all sorts of creators. In the case Cox Communications v.
