When Mitch McConnell’s disregard for the Constitution reaped the dividend of having Neil Gorsuch replace Antonin Scalia on the Supreme Court many predicted nothing would change other than Scalia was effectively given another thirty or forty years on the bench. Monday morning the Court proved that when it announced its 5-4 decision, (with Gorsuch writing the opinion for the majority), in the combined cases EPIC Systems Corp. v Lewis, Ernst & Young v Morris and NLRB v Murphy Oil.

Private Information
This may not be the biggest political story of last week, but there is a huge national dialog about just how private our information is today.

It affects almost every American and yet I am willing to bet well under 10% of American adults even know it exists. Let’s explore just what it is and what the impact of the 2016 election will have on it. Continue reading Buyers’ Remorse Coming – Part II
