The 'wall of separation between church and state' is a metaphor based on bad history, a metaphor which has proved useless as a guide to judging. It should be frankly and explicitly abandoned.

We start with first principles. The Constitution creates a Federal Government of enumerated powers.

Conservatives are those who worship dead radicals.

The Equal Rights Amendment would "turn holy wedlock into holy deadlock."

Hate speech is in the ear of the beholder.

Look, it's to the point where kids are getting Botox. It's insane. We're not allowed to age

My first official music video for "Who Am I." It's getting crazy traffic and a lot of hype. I got sponsored by a company called MATIX because of it.

Chicken Little change my life when I was younger. I had no idea chickens could talk *laughs*.
