Over the decades, the far left has conquered the institutions and the right side of the aisle is just beginning to retaliate. Some say conservative values are making a comeback while others contend that Western Civilization is...

　　By mid-summer, Chevron deference as we know it may be history. The Supreme Court could reform or even eliminate its forty-year-old doctrine that federal courts should generally defer to an agency’s reasonable interpretation of an ambiguous statute. 　　How would the end of Chevron deference affect our constitutional institutions?

　　The fascination with the sea is as old as man. The famous cry—thalatta, thalatta—of Xenophon’s beleaguered 10,000 Greek soldiers (or of what remained of them) upon seeing the familiar waters of the Black Sea after returning from war, showed a loving familiarity with the sea. The Romans embraced the Mediterranean as their own sea—Mare Nostrum—even if they faced it with...
