About me
 
I cover legal issues for Ricochet, and I also host the Legal Lad podcast.  I've written for the Wall Street Journal, NY Times, and National Review, among others.  My book, The Naked Constitution is an unapologetic defense of "originalism" as the only way to restore the Founders' vision of limited government.  Commentator Mark Levin calls it a "compelling response" to the "Living Constitution" theory espoused by America's liberal elites.
