I'm with @GeorgeWill: the Senate should consider Obama's nominee to replace Scalia, Merrick Garland; Clinton would choose worse.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 20, 2016
Trump's brain is his trusted foreign adviser.He assures us that he has a very good brain; how does he know?Brain surgeon Ben Carson told him— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 20, 2016
I don't trust Trump's foreign adviser, his "very good brain". After all, "I am the decider", Bush 43, did such a great job.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 20, 2016
Let's start a rumor:Donald Trump's foreign adviser, his "very good brain", will make a guest appearance on the Walking Dead.They can tell us— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 20, 2016
@GeorgeWill I suspect @realDonaldTrump's litmus test for naming judges to SCOTUS is whether they would sign his favored bills and orders.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 20, 2016
@TheOnion The Cruz campaign responded with a vicious anti-Trump ad. pic.twitter.com/0JbgJuQDjT— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 20, 2016
This is Soft Rock America.The sound of Trump's "very good brain" bursting with policy ideas: https://t.co/DzFCBY0Ny6 pic.twitter.com/cYyZupu8ej— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 20, 2016
@realDonaldTrump @megynkelly So the wildly overhyped reality show celebrity is allowed to stalk a professional news reporter? Wrong!— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 20, 2016
"When angry, count ten before you speak; if very angry, count a hundred." - Thomas Jefferson. Before you tweet, a thousand, @realDonaldTrump— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 20, 2016
Let's play with @realDonaldTrump's head: what new Trump story will be revealed exclusively on The Kelly File, 9PM EDT Monday?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 20, 2016
Inquiring minds want to know: is Trump watching his boycotted The Kelly File on his boycotted Apple iPhone?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 20, 2016
"Never spend money before you have earned it."-Thomas Jefferson. And never forget that government earns no money of its own.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 20, 2016
This is Soft Rock America. On behalf of voters who Kasich says should thank him for staying in the race:now GET OUT: https://t.co/GVIFcEhRMR— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 21, 2016
Is it something in the water of what Austrian economists/historians drink? I just ranted on Rockwell and Block's embrace of Trump.Tom Woods?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 21, 2016
I give Woods credit for not supporting Trump. But his latest email rant is more interested in lashing out at #NeverTrump conservatives.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 21, 2016
@toddstarnes I blame Kasich-supported Common Core math standards. Old-fashioned math tells me Kasich is mathematically eliminated from race.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 21, 2016
The Trump experience is Pentecostal --it's like he's speaking in tongues: the xenophobes, the blue collars, the nationalists, Ben Carson..— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 21, 2016
My first college girlfriend was a Catholic Pentecostal.Our first fight was at a service. After I mocked one babbling man, she got up&did it.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 21, 2016
The Austrian School cult sees Trump as a non-interventionist. I see a guy who is inciting trade wars, talks about taking oil, increasing DoD— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 21, 2016
Woods doesn't understand there are a lot of principled conservatives with concerns about the military industrial complex, overextended DoD.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 21, 2016
As Rand Paul discovered, anyone who talks a Pentagon audit, constitutional limits on the Commander in Chief becomes a neocon piñata.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 21, 2016
As Woods is well-aware, leaders of the Old Right, like Robert Taft, were non-interventionist. Pearl Harbor was a turning point.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 21, 2016
You know how Republicans talk about an all of the above approach to energy?When it comes to Trump, Clinton or Sanders, I favor none of above— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 21, 2016
What is this pathetic pathological need for "2 Corinthians" Trump to question the faith of Romney? Trump needs to see a shrink. #NeverTrump— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 21, 2016
Rockwell published something I find funny:illegal progressive aliens fleeing to Canada over coming Trumpocalypse: https://t.co/tRWrJjnkFr— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 21, 2016
This is Soft Rock America. I knew of Ben E. King; he was a great singer and this mocks his memory: https://t.co/gKGldAm1E1— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 21, 2016
Who is more the Cowardly Lion: @realDonaldTrump or John Kasich--for surrendering rather than debate Ted Cruz Monday in Utah?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 21, 2016
My Greatest Hits: March 2016Hello, judges. Welcome to SCOTUS Apprentice. Here to help me in this competition is my sister Maryanne who sits on Philly Court of Appeals.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) March 21, 2016

(Reason). Subjecting professors who make politically incorrect statements to lengthy witch-hunts seems likely to have a chilling effect on free speech, even if the outcome is ultimately a vindication.
Anyone else long for the good ol days of the 80s and 90s when it was conservatives censoring speech?
I was a professor during the 80's and 90's, and I can tell you, progressivist intolerance was pervasive. Even being in a business school and as a junior/untenured faculty member, I didn't even feel comfortable discussing my pro-liberty conservative views in private, never mind public.
(Cato Institute). "'Disrupting political events is OK when we do it to them, but unacceptable when they do it to us' isn’t a principle conducive to peace, stable domestic equilibrium, or intellectual coherence."
The right of voluntary assembly is fundamental. People with alternative perspectives have a commensurate right. Voluntary association implies the right to filter malcontents; when you intervene on peaceful assembly, you deny their right of free expression.
