What Is “Speed Dial”? Josh Blackman | 7.4.2025 4:44 PM
Justice Sotomayor used a catchy line in her dissent that most law students today will not understand.
On July 3, the Supreme Court granted the government’s “motion for clarification” in Department of Homeland Security v. D. V. D. I did a quick search, and I can’t seem to find any other instance where the Court granted a similar “motion for clarification.” Then again, I highly doubt any district court attempted to play fast and loose with a Supreme Court order. Kudos to Justice Kagan for calling out such inferior court resistance. https://reason.com/volokh/2025/07/04/what-is-speed-dial/

Celebrating the firearm freedoms that made independence possible | D. Parker
[,,,] consider the case for celebrating our firearm freedoms in July and start reclaiming our rights. Let’s start with the fact that the American Revolution started with a gun confiscation raid by the Redcoats. Anti-liberty leftists would likely prefer that people forget the reason why the battles of Lexington, Concord, as well as Parker’s revenge, that took place on April 19, 1775, were because of firearms and the freedom they conserve…
The revolution was sparked by firearm freedom, and these were essential in the attainment of independence. It’s vitally important to remember that firearms made independence and the 4th of July possible in the first place, as well as keeping us independent and free.
Firearms are the backbone of the Bill of Rights; they put the steel in a document that could easily end up being ignored. This is why it’s incessantly attacked on every level of government by the left. Strangely enough, they [the left] don’t even know of this constant assault on freedom. Therefore, it’s time that we start pushing back on the culture and the fear tactics, and the lies of the left to maintain and advance our freedoms. Thus, the point of celebrating our Firearm freedoms in July.
Why July? Well, that should be obvious in that we would not have Independence Day without firearms. And if the left can lay claim to whole swaths of the calendar, as well as the alphabet, why can’t we have a month celebrating our basic freedoms?

“Irving Berlin “God Bless America” on The Ed Sullivan Show”
Bye, Bye Emma Lazarus
Emma Lazarus’s poem may tug at heartstrings, but it never captured the spirit, ambition, or reality of most immigrants—or of the American Dream. It’s time to retire Emma Lazarus’s poem from the plaque at the base of the Statue of Liberty. Actually, it’s way past time to retire it: it was never appropriate for America. Or for the American Dream.
[…] those descriptions do not describe most immigrants to America, and there’s no reason the rest of the country—and history—should be tied to Lazarus’s particular cause or to her poem, which was only added to the statue in 1903.
The problem with the poem is that it doesn’t express the spirit of America.
“What are we talking about here? All right, who do Democrats sympathize more with: Israelis or Palestinians? In 2017, the Democratic Party was a pro-Israeli party,” [CNN’s chief data analyst Harry] Enten explained. “Look at this. They sympathized with the Israelis by 13 points—more with the Israelis than the Palestinians. But look at this sea change. Now, Democrats sympathize more with the Palestinians by 43 points.”
“Oh my God! That is a change in the margin of 56 points over the course of just eight years. So all of a sudden, it’s the pro-Palestinian position that actually reigns supreme in Democratic politics, not the Israeli position,” he continued. “And that is part of the reason why Mamdani was able to do so well in this primary, because those attacks over Israel, simply put, did not ring true for Democrats. They’re now on the side of the Palestinians, not the Israelis.”
Second Amendment Groups Announce Intent to Sue Over NFA After OBBB Signing | Cam Edwards, Jul 03rd
[…] The 2A groups suing over the constitutionality of the NFA will almost certainly ask for an injunction halting enforcement of the law, either in part or in its entirety, while the litigation is ongoing. They’ll also be able to argue that the registration requirement for these items is now moot, since the registry is essentially a list of who paid the $200 tax on the item in question. If there’s no tax to pay, how and why can there be a registry? So, it’s entirely possible that the judge overseeing the litigation will agree to halt enforcement of the registration requirement if that’s part of the injunctive relief requested. https://bearingarms.com/camedwards/2025/07/03/second-amendment-groups-sue-nfa-n1229158
