Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam said at a press conference on Tuesday that the city no longer has any meaningful separation of powers between the executive branch, legislature, and judiciary.

Neither of their two articles meets the constitutional standard for impeachment. The first article accuses the president of “abuse of power,” a charge so vague as to be meaningless.

It appears the Trump administration is saluting Obama’s ill-conceived precedent of ignoring the Constitution’s separation of powers.

“I have given it my all in every case,” Judge Brett Kavanaugh said in his opening statement to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, beginning his Supreme Court confirmation speaking of family, friends, and faith, remembering that judges decide cases for “real people” in an American system of “equal rights, equal dignity, and equal justice under law.”

Lawsuits by Chicago and California against President Donald Trump’s sanctuary city executive order and Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ federal funding conditions are almost certain to end up at the Supreme Court within two years, raising profound constitutional questions about immigration, state sovereignty, and the rule of law.

A federal court in California dealt President Donald Trump another legal setback on Tuesday in his efforts to combat illegal aliens, blocking an executive order (EO) that denies federal funds to sanctuary cities. This issue appears eventually destined for a Supreme Court showdown.

Sessions was right: on immigration issues, Hawaii is an island in every sense, with different challenges than the rest of the United States.

Texas Republicans were quick to condemn President Obama’s violation of the Second Amendment through his unconstitutional executive action on gun control.

If members of the media wants to prove they can ask “tough questions” of Democrat presidential candidates too, they should grill Hillary Clinton and her putative rivals about whether they still believe in the Constitutional separation of powers, what purpose they think Congress serves, and how the Obama model of unlimited executive power can be squared with America’s republican system.

WASHINGTON—Obamacare, religious liberty, Iran, and racial preferences are four of the major issues the justices will confront during the Supreme Court’s annual Term, which begins Monday, Oct. 5. The High Court will decide between 70 and 80 cases over the
