By The West Virginia Record |
“This wildly expansive power to regulate factories, hospitals, and even homes has tremendous costs and consequences for all Americans, in particular West Virginia’s coal miners, pipeliners, natural gas producers, and utility workers,” Morrisey predicted. “If EPA lacks such expansive authority, as we argue, the Supreme Court should make that clear now.”

Being protective isn't always being productive

By The West Virginia Record |
If you’re wearing a mask, why would you care what everyone else does? You’re protected, right? Mask-less people aren’t going to infect you as long as you have your mask on, and you with your mask on are not going to infect them, so everything’s fine.

End the CFPB’s frivolous Navient lawsuit

By Chris Dickerson |
This is a clarion call for accountability and bipartisanship in the pursuit of genuine consumer protection. The CFPB Director Kathy Kraninger should apply her new accountability to take control of a misguided and failing case foisted upon her by Rob Cordray and end it.

Why do some Americans want to jeopardize national security?

By The West Virginia Record |
The headline above poses an interesting question. Why, indeed? But some do, and the delays they’ve caused in energy production and distribution (esp., pipeline projects) could have dire consequences for national security. Already, unnecessary delays have cost billions in litigation expenses, lost job opportunities, and higher utility bills for businesses and consumers.

Are we the only ones who can still be ridiculed?

By The West Virginia Record |
Hoosiers, hillbillies, rednecks, and crackers – we’ve all been treated with contempt by our self-proclaimed superiors, and we’ve had enough. They think they’re so smart and we’re so dumb, but they overestimate themselves and underestimate us.

Scaremongering lawyers should be disciplined
