Guest Column: When Conservatives Organize, the Left Cries Foul 

Wyoming Freedom Caucus chair Rachel Rodriguez-Williams writes, "When a group of conservative lawmakers stands up, says 'we’re organized,' and follows through with a consistent commitment to limited government, individual liberty, and fiscal responsibility — suddenly it’s a scandal."

Tom Lubnau: A Primer On Governmental Immunity

Columnist Tom Lubnau writes, "One area where reform might be appropriate is when elected government officials ignore the law and do whatever the hell they want to do. Perhaps, some personal liability for those people who get the government sued would cause some introspection."

Guest Column: Economics In Action -- Understanding Government Inefficiency

Guest columnist Island Richards writes, "Government will never be 100 percent efficient. Those who insist otherwise don’t show profound observation, just shallow slogans. Perfect efficiency in government is impossible because government itself stands in the way."

Cassie Craven: Leave Our Children Alone

Columnist Cassie Craven writes: “Telling kids anything except they're fearfully and wonderfully made in their given bodies is evil. Saying there's something about them that demands medicalization is an atrocity toward everything it means to be the adult in the room.”

Gail Symons: GOP Leaders Are Caught Between Power And Independence

Columnist Gail Symons writes: "What the GOP is experiencing is not a violation of rights – it’s the discomfort of having to choose between power and independence. You can’t complain about house rules when you are living rent-free. "

Joan Barron: The Amendment That Bit Back

Columnist Joan Barron writes, "I would bet that the 2011 class of lawmakers had no idea that the amendment they passed against Obamacare would be used to protect abortion rights more than 10 years later. It opened the door for a person to claim that their health care decisions are protected by the Wyoming Constitution."

Guest Column: Let Judges Do Their Jobs

Guest columnists Alaina Stedillie and Grant Lawson write: "Judges should be allowed to do their jobs, which is to apply the facts of each case to the governing law. This is the only way the system can work the way our Founders so wisely designed it."
