Case Has Momentous Implications

“The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands ... may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” — James Madison, Federalist 47 So, were the sainted Madison to see today’s federal government, he would recognize the momentousness of the case the Supreme Court will hear Wednesday, when George Jarkesy, a hedge fund founder, will at last have his day in court. If he prevails, the constitutional right of access to courts will be vindicated, constitutionally dubious delegations of congressional power will be curtailed and ...

We Should Never Forget To Give Thanks for Our Founders

There’s plenty to be thankful for this Thanksgiving season — at least if you take your eyes off a presidential race in which most voters want to reject both candidates with big leads for their parties’ nomination and in which international news is dominated by Hamas’ atrocities against Israel and Russia’s destructive invasion of Ukraine. Put in historical perspective, these woes are far from the most challenging that Americans have faced, and we do so with a frame of government and a capacity for resilience and adaptability that few, if any, other countries can match. These ...

Biden Says He’s Helped Lower Inflation As He Hosts Meeting Of Supply Chain Council

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden on Monday opened the first meeting of his supply chain resilience council by warning companies against price gouging and saying that his administration was working to lower costs for U.S. families. “We know that prices are still too high for too many things, that times are still too tough for too many families,” Biden said. “But we’ve made progress.” The president has blamed inflation on issues such as supply chains and Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, while Republican lawmakers say the run-up in prices was triggered by the $1.9 ...

Israel, Hamas Agree To Extend Truce 2 More Days, Release More Hostages

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israel and Hamas agreed to extend their cease-fire for two more days past Monday, raising the prospect of further exchanges of militant-held hostages for Palestinians imprisoned by Israel and a longer halt to their deadliest and most destructive war. Eleven Israeli women and children, freed by Hamas, entered Israel Monday night after more than seven weeks in captivity in Gaza in the fourth swap under the original four-day truce, which began Friday and was due to run out. Thirty-three Palestinian prisoners released by Israel arrived early Tuesday in east ...

Day’s Decisions May Haunt Him After Michigan Beats Ohio State

By LARRY LAGE AP Sports Writer ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Ryan Day’s decisions in The Game may haunt him. Again. No. 3 Michigan beat No. 2 Ohio State 30-24 Saturday, making the most of aggressive calls by fill-in coach Sherrone Moore and taking advantage of Day’s approach, which was conservative at times. On the Buckeyes’ second drive, Day didn’t go for it on fourth-and-1 from his 46 and punted in a scoreless game. “We didn’t want to give them any momentum,” he said softly. Trailing 14-10 late in the first half of a game he absolutely had to win, Day allowed ...

Mountaineers Rally For 34-31 Win At Baylor

By BOB HERTZEL WV News MORGANTOWN — With what seemed to be an easy victory coming apart in the second half, with West Virginia teetering on the edge of the cliff of defeat and with so much good that had been done through the season about to be erased, Garrett Greene once again reached deep within himself and led the Mountaineers on a kamikaze victory drive as to beat Baylor, 34-31. After the Bears missed a gimme field goal that would have given them a touchdown lead, WVU — which ends the regular season at 8-4 — took over at its own 20 with 1:14 left and no timeouts and put ...
