If California Relies on Obama School Discipline Policy, It Will Put Students at Risk
California legislators seek to expand a law that limits a teacher’s ability to keep order in the classroom. Surveys find opposition to such loosened policies, and research demonstrates that ideas such as these may put students at risk and even limit student achievement. The provisions also dredge up painful questions about the relationship between recent school shootings and student discipline policies.
The Political Case for Confining Birthright Citizenship to Its Original Meaning
There is good reason for the United States to reconsider its long-standing policy of automatically granting citizenship to all children born on U.S. soil, regardless of parental immigration status. The policy—which is not mandated by the Fourteenth Amendment—incentivizes illegal immigration, contributes substantially to the overall economic burden imposed on U.S. taxpayers, and raises serious national security concerns. Ultimately, the statutory definition of “citizen” is not as clear as it was prior to 1940, but the President may order executive branch agencies to abide by a more narrow and good faith interpretation of who is or is not a citizen under existing federal law.

The Monroe Doctrine: Guide To The Future
The Monroe Doctrine, which purports to warn other states from interfering in the affairs of the Western Hemisphere, has supposedly remained a basic principle of American foreign policy since the first half of the nineteenth century. From the point when it was issued, its actual relevance has depended on the willingness to enforce it, or whether there was any real threat. President Monroe issued it during a period when all of the major Spanish colonies in the Western Hemisphere were in the process of gaining their independence from Spain.
Principled Realism And The Monroe Doctrine
With the publication of the December 2017 version of the National Security Strategy, the Trump administration changed the course of American grand strategy. With it, the U.S. made a conscious choice to leave behind President George W. Bush’s controversial neo-conservative inspired policy of “preemption” and Barack Obama’s convoluted “consequentialism,” embracing instead the more traditional approach of “principled realism,” first articulated by President George Washington. In this new era all previous policies and approaches are under review, including one of our oldest foreign policy statements—the Monroe Doctrine of 1823.

Justice Neil Gorsuch: Why Originalism Is the Best Approach to the Constitution
Originalism is a theory focused on process, not on substance. It is not “Conservative” with a big C focused on politics. It is conservative in the small c sense that it seeks to conserve the meaning of the Constitution as it was written.
