We Will Be Back to a Full Bench Tomorrow

04/06/2017

FreedomWorks president Adam Brandon made the following statement following the Senate decision to change precedent to confirm Judge Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court with a simple majority vote:

"Democrats know Gorsuch is a good and qualified judge and will be a fair and reasoned Supreme Court justice. Their opposition to him is purely partisan and misguided. Sen. Schumer and his conference are acting out of anger about the results of the election. They still can't get over the fact that Donald Trump is the president. America is ready to get things done for the good of the country. Unfortunately, Democrats again today showed that they are incapable of working with President Trump and Republicans.

"Our grassroots activists will have a huge victory in the Senate tomorrow and restore the Supreme Court to a full bench again."

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.

A Small Victory Against Civil Asset Forfeiture at the Supreme Court

BY Jason Pye

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.
