Two of the mainstays of our country's legal system are that we are a country of laws, and that no person is above the law.
As a country of laws, we cannot park our cars in the middle of the road or drive at 100 mph. We follow, or we should follow, the ten commandments that state our limits in society. Without these laws our country would be in chaos. The second characteristic is that no individual is above the law. This applies equally to billionaires and paupers, to all races and ethnicities, to young and old, to everyone.

On the first day of the 2026 session, the Mississippi Senate took a strong position against public school vouchers. “Vouchers are not on the table in the Senate,” Mississippi Today reported Education Committee Chairman Sen. Dennis DeBar, Jr., as saying. Later that day the full Senate easily passed two education bills locking in that position.
Will the Senate be able to stick to it?

Years ago while on a business trip to Europe, I visited Versailles, the storied palace monument to French King Louis XIV. It is magnificent, filled with excess of a former age, over the top but un-tacky.
Approaching from the front, the huge building looms in front of one , drawing the eye upward to embellished cornices and countless windows, designed to impress foreign ambassadors and courtiers. It did.
