FreedomWorks on Judiciary Committee Recommending Judge Neil Gorsuch

04/03/2017

FreedomWorks President Adam Brandon issued the following statement following the Senate Judiciary Committee’s advancement of Judge Neil Gorsuch’s nomination to the full chamber:

“The grassroots won a big victory last year by keeping pressure on the Senate not to hold hearings or votes on Obama’s nominee and preserving the seat left vacant by the passing of Justice Antonin Scalia. Judge Neil Gorsuch’s record shows his commitment to the Constitution and rule of law, and we could not be more excited to move one step closer to his confirmation.

“Democrats should not be spiteful just because they lost an election. The American people spoke, and many voted on this one issue, and they voted for Donald Trump, who pledged to appoint conservatives justices to the Supreme Court who will protect the Constitution.”

Support the Bill to Codify the Trump Administration WOTUS Rule Definition of Navigable Waters, S. 2356

BY Adam Brandon

On behalf of FreedomWorks’ activist community, I urge you to contact your senators and ask them to cosponsor S. 2356 that would codify the Trump administration Waters of the United States (WOTUS) rule definition of navigable waters. Introduced by Sen. Mike Braun (R-Ind.), S. 2356 seeks to make permanent changes to the Obama-era Clean Water Rule, solidifying changes made by the Trump administration limiting the scope of the Clean Water Act.

Issue Analysis

By Any Other Name: Price Controls are Price Controls

BY Daniel Savickas

Many conservatives and right-of-center political analysts are rightly upset about Health and Human Service Secretary Alex Azar’s proposal to tie drug prices in the United States to those in foreign nations. Such a proposal would make our healthcare system dependent on the whims of nations that subscribe to command and control economic models. There is also the stark reality that imposing price controls does not fix any underlying issues that caused prices to be high in the first place.

The Supreme Court issued an opinion on Wednesday that is a shot across the bow of defenders of civil asset forfeiture. In a unanimous judgment, the justices incorporated the Excessive Fines Clause of the Eighth Amendment to the states. The Court didn’t rule on the dubious constitutionality of civil asset forfeiture, leaving that issue for another day.

Supreme Court Likely to Deliver a Long Overdue Blow to Civil Asset Forfeiture

BY Jason Pye

On Wednesday, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Timbs v. Indiana. The case centers around the use of civil asset forfeiture and whether or not to incorporate the Excessive Fines Clause of the Eighth Amendment to the states. Although the Court won’t decide the case until next year, the oral arguments show that most of the justices appear ready to deal a long overdue blow to civil asset forfeiture.
