“When I am elected to Congress, I am going to vote on issues the way my constituents tell me to vote …” – Michael Allman, Candidate for the 52nd Congressional District. Allman hopes to bring his success from the tech world to the 52nd Congressional District by implementing a political “operating system” dependent upon the will of the majority. Absent …
Just law is fundamental to peace and prosperity. Most all of the problems we face are created or made worse by bad law. Civil asset forfeiture is one example. It violates rule of law, due process and the inherent and inalienable right to property. Civil asset forfeiture is a travesty to our judicial system and SB 443 was an attempt to begin …
There are only a handful of men in the realm of law and politics that inspire me. Besides Christ … Gandhi, Bonhoeffer and Martin Luther King Jr. come to mind. These individuals not only demonstrate a greater understanding of the ethics of civil government but peacefully challenged the status quo at the cost of their own lives. That type of …
In the Parable of the Talents we learn that diversity is woven into the fabric of creation. We see that Jesus does not distribute or reward talent equally. His concern is with how we use our talents.

In Part Two I shared how consumer choice made Taylor Swift wealthy and how each transaction left individuals better off than they were before. Each transaction was a “win-win”. In this post I address the …
In Part One I agreed with Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-VA). We have an income inequality problem. Where we disagree is I differentiate inequality created by consumer demand and individual decision (moral) from inequality created by government regulation in violation of rule of law (immoral). Sen. Sanders and Keeley Mullen, National Director of the Million Student March don’t believe that recording …
From Cicero to Augustine, from Adams to Martin Luther King, one of the principles of a just and prosperous society, is rule of law. Rule of law posits that all men are equal under the law. Rule of law holds that if an action is immoral for an individual it is also immoral for an individual in government. No man is …
The U-T reported this morning on San Diego city government’s failure to shut down illegal medical marijuana shops. To be clear, there are currently no legal medical marijuana shops in the city. The case is instructive on the results of the failure of the rule of law, including the failure to pass implementing laws that unwelcome, but legal activity …
Without taking a position on the wisdom of sequestration, I have it on good authority that it is the official policy of the Department of Defense not to plan for the eventuality; despite widespread belief that it will. In my opinion, this is because the word has come down from the administration to ignore what is happening so that defense …
