The Supreme Court and Online Age Verification
Nov 5, 2026 8:21 AM

　　This month, the Supreme Court will hear arguments in a key case, Free Speech Coalition v. Paxton, about state-level mandates for age verification measures to access online pornography. On the one hand, proponents of these laws argue they will protect children from inappropriate content. On the other, critics argue they pose a serious threat to free speech. Two Law Liberty contributors weigh in.

An Arthurian Brit in the Land of the Free
　　In a scene from his one-man-play, An Evening With C. S. Lewis, actor David Payne performs a curious limerick while impersonating the famous Christian apologist. An English author, the pseudo-Lewis opines, can produce beautiful works of literature, bathing in ink and wine. Unfortunately, none of these works are well received by critics or academics. Close to despondency, he mails his...
Spock versus the Social Justice Warriors
　　Thomas Sowell’s current reputation as many conservatives’ favorite curmudgeonly economist and cultural critic may underplay his brilliance. His Basic Economics should be required reading in every survey econ course, and many consider his sociological work on race in America to be some of the best in that discipline although sociology is the furthest left of any academic discipline and therefore...
Chile’s Constitutional Woes
　　The call for new or improved constitutions has become a fashionable and enthusiastic rallying cry for politicians, ideologues, and intellectuals throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The emergence of new states, revolutions, political upheavals, aspirations for salvation, crises, or defeated states seeking a fresh start are among the reasons that our modern world is increasingly populated with modern constitutions. The...
The Conservative Feminist Revolution
　　Feminism is continually being redefined, and agroup ofconservative and not so traditionally conservative men and womenare now piloting another new approach. Fairer Disputations, part of the Wollstonecraft Project at the Abigail Adams Institute, publishes and compiles work by individuals that do not always agree but defend “a vision of female and male as embodied expressions of human personhood,” and affirm...
Danegeld Justice
　　Perfect justice is no doubt unattainable in this sublunary world, but whenever I gave evidence in court in a case involving tort law, I had the strong suspicion that I was participating in something deeply corrupt and corrupting. Justice, as it was administered, was a game of poker rather than a matter of truth as to who had done what...
How to Recapitalize the Federal Reserve
　　The Federal Reserve starts the new year with capital, properly accounted for, of negative 92 billion. How can that be? How can the world’s greatest central bank, the issuer of the world’s dominant reserve currency, be technically insolvent—and by such a huge number? 　　The answer is that the Fed has accumulated immense operating losses, which by January 3, 2024, totaled...
The Fear, Falsehoods, and Force of Pandemic Failure
　　In the fall of 2023, Americans heard unwelcome news that a mutation of the Omicron virus—JN.1—was now accounting for as many as 50 percent of the new COVID-19 cases in the United States. By mid-December, hospitals across the country had reintroduced protective mask mandates for patients, staff, and visitors. For many, it was a reminder of the more than two-year...
The New Deals Dark Underbelly
　　When I arrived at the University of Alabama almost a decade ago to begin graduate school and met the historian David Beito who would become the co-advisor on my dissertation, he was just beginning a project on Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s disregard for Americans’ civil liberties. Most critics of FDR point to Executive Order 9066 which forced 120,000 people of Japanese...
How Self
　　On December 22, as New York’s LaGuardia Airport was filled with holiday travelers, Tommy Dorfman, an actor who played a gay male on the Netflix teen drama “Thirteen Reasons Why” but then “came out” as a transgender female in 2021, held up the Delta line as “she” denounced an airplane employee for having intentionally “misgendered” her. The employee did so,...
Do We Need a “Politics of Truth”?
　　In a recent Law Liberty essay, Aaron Alexander Zubia meditates on the question of how Americans should approach the problem of “Saving Ourselves from Party Rage.” He does so by criticizing David Hume and his politics of “utility for utility’s sake.” Zubia argues that, in our own time, “the politics of utility is spent,” and “the politics of truth has...
