If one can say the pandemic has had any positive side effect, it has been to help us focus on what the loss of liberties looks like. Such losses do not occur immediately but erode over time as people become increasingly comfortable with government claiming to know what is best for us.
The Biden administration is proceeding on a downward spiral that has ended in lost liberties in nations of the past by seizing increasing amounts of power for itself through a slew of executive orders, without the consent of the people, or Congress.
When announcing his gun control executive orders last week, President Biden referenced the Second Amendment and the right to keep and bear arms. He claimed his orders do not infringe on that right, but added, "No amendment is absolute." That is concerning.

Citizens for a Pro-Business Delaware Calls for New Age of Diversity on Chancery Court Amid President Biden’s Nominations
April 1, 2021 GMT
WILMINGTON, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr 1, 2021--
Today, Citizens for a Pro-Business Delaware (CPBD) called for a Black justice to be nominated to the Chancery Court following President Biden’s first round of historic judicial nominations in the federal courts, including the nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the influential U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.

With outgoing Chancellor Andre Bouchard set to retire on April 30th, there is an unprecedented opportunity to restore diversity on the Chancery Court alongside historic federal court nominations of people of color. For years, CPBD has been calling for diversity in Delaware’s courts, and has been joined by leaders such as Reverend Al Sharpton and Pastor Blaine Hacket of the historic St. John African Methodist Church.

Alaska attorney general discusses plans, Clarkson in hearing


By BECKY BOHRER
Associated Press
JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Attorney General Treg Taylor said Monday he takes seriously his duty to decide which cases to pursue in the public interest and is hopeful that under his leadership the state won't see a “string of losing cases."
His comments were in response to questions during a confirmation hearing before the House Judiciary Committee. Rep. Matt Claman, the chair and an attorney, said he was “troubled” by a number of cases that seem like political positions but "legally, they're very, very poor positions to take.”
Some of the cases Claman cited were still moving through the legal system, including a school funding dispute set for arguments before the Alaska Supreme Court. In another case, a judge found Gov. Mike Dunleavy unconstitutionally used his veto powers to punish the courts after a Supreme Court decision that invalidated proposed abortion restrictions.
