New Frontier

A politics, law, and culture blog.


  • Go West, Young Man—But Leave the Car at Home
    American car-dependency is a pernicious form of unfreedom that makes us less mobile, our economy less dynamic, and all of us less free.
  • The New Abortion Battlegrounds
    In a post-Dobbs world, the clashes between pro-life and pro-choice advocates will be waged on five legal battlegrounds.
  • Coming of Age as a Hamiltonian
    A masterful biography of JFK’s early life gives us insight into the development of Kennedy’s foreign policy worldview.
  • The Democrats’ Tax Problem
    The inability of the current Democratic coalition to raise revenue poses a fundamental problem for the future of center-left politics in America.
  • Departmentalism and the Eviction Moratorium
    Bipartisan critics have called the Biden administration’s recent extension of the CDC’s eviction moratorium unconstitutional, but these assessments ignore the history of departmentalism and the important and legitimizing role of the Court’s comprehensive written opinions—something missing in Justice Kavanaugh’s curt concurrence.
  • Active Liberty in the ‘Cursing Cheerleader’ Decision
    Justice Breyer’s opinion in Mahanoy Area v. B. L. (2021) suggests that student criticism of school authorities exemplifies the democratic process.

“The problems are not all solved and the battles are not all won; and we stand today on the edge of a New Frontier.”

— John F. Kennedy
