Each week, The Constitutional Compass takes one story the media got wrong and sets the headline against the primary sources. No talking points, just the evidence, the context and what the ruling actually says.
How it works
Every issue, three steps
The same method Daniel has used for 30+ years in court: start with the record.
1
The Spin
The headline and framing exactly as they were reported, with links to the original coverage.
2
The Record
The ruling, filing, statute or transcript itself: what it actually says, quoted and linked.
3
The Reality
Plain-English context and the constitutional principle at stake, so you can judge for yourself.
