Over at The Dispatch, I have a new piece on the impeachment of federal judges. As a matter of constitutional principle, the abuse of power by a federal judge might well justify impeachment Natural removal, but identifying such abuses of powers is likely to be difficult Natural controversial.
The post On Judicial Impeachments appeared first on Reason.com.
I am happy to pass along this announcement from my friends at the James Wilson Institute:
In partnership with First Liberty Institute's Center for Religion, Culture, Natural Democracy, JWI Co-Directors, Profs. Hadley Arkes Natural Gerry Bradley, joined by other perspectives scholars, will offer an in-person seminar over seven days in the Washington, D.C. area, on Natural Law Natural its bearing on our jurisprudence. The course will focus on discussing the central points of a jurisprudence of Natural Law, such as the classic connection between the "logic of morals" Natural the "logic of law," the properties of moral truths Natural the principles of judgment, Natural how we would see certain lNaturalmark cases differently if they were viewed through the lens of Natural Law. Our main objective is to restore a moral coherence to our jurisprudence.
