The First Citation of the Heritage Guide in a SCOTUS Brief | Josh Blackman, 10.19.2025
A very timely citation on the “Calling forth the Militia” Clause

One of the virtues of a project like the Heritage Guide to the Constitution is its utility. The constitutional history in that book will be used in future controversies that were not known when the book was written.

Case in point: the first citation to the guide comes in an amicus brief filed in Donald Trump v. Illinois. The brief cites the essay by Judge Greg Maggs and Professor Rob Leider on the Calling Forth the Militia Clause.

As scholars have recognized, Mott “held that Congress gave the President sole and unreviewable authority to determine when an emergency exists that is sufficient to justify deploying the militia.” Judge Gregory E. Maggs & Robert Leider, The Calling Forth the Militia Clause, in THE HERITAGE GUIDE TO THE CONSTITUTION 218, 221 (Josh Blackman & John G. Malcolm eds., 3d ed. 2025).

Supreme Court Weighs Warrantless Home Entries in Case v. Montana
https://www.ammoland.com/2025/10/supreme-court-weighs-warrantless-home-entries-in-case-v-montana/

Broadly speaking, GOA framed the case as deciding “whether police may barge into gun owners’ homes and shoot them without a warrant during a welfare check.” The organization’s concern reflects the reality that
Case was shot in his own home by officers who entered without judicial authorization, ostensibly to save his life.

Newsmax headline:
“Sen. Rand Paul: Drug strikes ‘Against All of Our Tradition’.”

Uh, wrong again, Rand.

I clearly remember that very early in our nation’s history the U.S. Navy and Marines attacked Muslim Barbary pirates in North Africa for capturing our trading ships, and selling some of the crews and passengers as slaves.

No declaration of war.

Just a Presidential order to the Navy as Commander-and-Chief.

Good Afternoon,
Beloved, today my message is the baptism of John the Baptist.

Repent, for the Kingdom of GOD is near at hand.

For all the misguided souls lead a stray by the trappings of this hateful time. Return to Love of your youth. You once new HIM by the teaching of your elders. Turn away from earth bound lust. Perhaps, your days are short on this earth.
Please, make amends . Quite possibly, eternity is on the balance.

‘ Draw closer to HIM , HE will draw closer to you. ‘
James 4:8

GOD Bless you !

In my spare time (yeah right? Is that mrsbro calling? Be right back) I have been studying up on the truth and nature of Islam and Sharia as it relates to the U S. With things that are happening in MN, MI, NYC, TX, a pattern has begun to show itself. Because of our of religious freedom we seem to accept Islam as just another religion, same God, different name. Big mistake! The following article is a plain and simple explanation of how Islam views and deals with the rest of the world. A more indepth read is “Sword and Scimitar” by Raymond Ibrahim, (foreword by Victor Davis Hanson)

Somali refugee stabs Ukrainian refugee to death in Irish refugee center.

Critics have always said Dublin is not Irish. That used to mean it was too “Anglicized.” In medieval times it was within pale of English settlement (English colony within Ireland). Now “Dublin is not Irish” means something different.

“A Jewish lawyer wearing a Star of David was arrested after police alleged the symbol had ‘antagonized’ pro-Palestine protesters.”

The suspect, who was handcuffed and detained by police for almost 10 hours, told The Telegraph his arrest appeared to be an attempt by the Metropolitan Police to “criminalize the wearing of a Star of David”

The headline is misleading. He was a legal observer in plain clothes who breached the protest line then got arrested. Later during questioning, the police latched onto his necklace as evidence of “criminality.” They didn’t round him up because of his necklace. But it still shows the police are unfair.
