by Marc J. Randazza I can’t take it anymore. I woke up today, looked at my twitter feed, and what do I see? Our hero, Dee Snyder singing his iconic song… in a commercial … for a cell phone company. “When does it end?!” indeed. WHEN. DOES. IT. END? I do not begrudge Dee Snyder ..read more

It Doesn’t Matter if Brittney Griner Sucks
The Legal Satyricon
by marcorandazza
1y ago
by Marc J. Randazza Brittney Griner sucks. She didn’t want the National Anthem played at any of her games. In July of 2020, Griner said, “I honestly feel we should not play the national anthem during our season. I think we should take that much of a stand.” Then she got busted for weed, in Russia ..read more

by Marc J. Randazza The latest mass murderer is 22-year-old Robert “Bobby” E. Crimo, a.k.a. “Awake the Rapper.” Driving a 2010 silver Honda Fit.  (Could this be a sign that he’s a “bro?” After all, “fit” is short for “fitness!”) Nobody waives an opportunity to use tragedy for political gain.  The anti-gun crowd said this ..read more

by Marc J. Randazza Lèse-majesté means “to do wrong to majesty.” It is an offense in many countries to insult or offend the sovereign. Famous Examples In North Korea, as you can imagine, any insult toward Kim Jong-un or one of his ancestors will land your ass in hot water.  That hot water is probably ..read more

Settled Law and the Supreme Court
The Legal Satyricon
by marcorandazza
1y ago
With Roe v. Wade being overturned, there is a reasonable train of thought coming from opponents of the Hobbs decision — the Supreme Court just upended a half-century of legal precedent, and all of a sudden things are different. Yes, things change. And the Court can do that. But is that a good thing? This ..read more

Self Defense is Your Right
The Legal Satyricon
by marcorandazza
1y ago
The constitutional right to bear arms in public for self-defense is not “a second-class right, subject to an entirely different body of rules than the other Bill of Right guarantees.”  McDonald v. Chicago, 561 U.S. 742, 780 (2010) (plurality opinion).  The exercise of other constitutional rights does not require individuals to demonstrate to government officers ..read more

by Marc J. Randazza Introduction The Supreme Court issued a decision this week in Carson v. Makin, and the commentary from the Left seems to be that the sky is falling and that it will usher in the Handmaid’s Tale.

“The Beautiful Italian”
The Legal Satyricon
by marcorandazza
2y ago
by Marc J. Randazza I grew up hearing what I thought was “Italian.” As I busted through my grandparents’ door, as soon as one of them saw it was me, “Figghiu miu!” (my son!) echoed through the house. “Bu mangiati?” (you want to eat?) My grandfathers brought me down to the docks in Gloucester, where ..read more

by marcorandazza
2y ago

On this day in 1775, the HMS Lively began bombarding the American fort on Breed’s Hill (yes, the Battle of Bunker Hill took place on Breed’s Hill). His Majesty’s General Thomas Gage then let loose with 128 more cannon to bombard the ..read more

I can fix the federal judiciary – a little
The Legal Satyricon
by marcorandazza
2y ago
by Marc J. Randazza I hate that the Supreme Court often comes down to a political battle. I’d like to see it more insulated from the politics of the day. To that end, stare decisis, is a wonderful thing. But, at the same time, if we elevate stare decisis to too exalted of a place ..read more
