From the very beginning, Americans fought bitterly over taxes, slavery, war, religion, money, and the role of government. The arguments were sometimes ugly. They were often loud.

- The Ontological Foundation of Rights: Natural Law, Constitutional Order, and the Progressive Departure — Justice Clarence Thomas's April 2026 address at the University of Texas reopened what is, at its core, the foundational jurisprudential question of the American republic: whether rights are antecedent to and independent of political authority, or whether they are artifacts of governmental creation subject to governmental modification or revocation. Thomas argued that rights are God-given, natural, and absolute — that progressivism, by treating government as the ultimate source of social goods an (2026-04-30)
