Bill Barr and the \Unitary Executive Theory\
2023
\"2 In it, he claims that although initially repelled by Trump's self-centered, pugnacious lack of self-control and \"juvenile, bombastic, and petulant style,\" he decided to support him anyway after he won the party's nomination. The passage clearly states that the embodiment of executive power in the federal government is singular, rather than plural or collegial.5 Although forty-three American states may \"unbundle\" their executive branch by directly electing their Attorneys General and other officials rather than making them gubernatorial appointees, the federal Constitution mandates a sole President with the power to select for Senate approval other Executive Branch officials. [...]despite his attempt to evade being identified by the label, Barr has long been called out by his critics as a true believer in its substance, and not without reason.10 Barr's advocacy of a strong version of the theory is sometimes traced back to his enthusiasm for Justice Scalia's lone dissent against the Court's ruling for the constitutionality of an Independent Counsel in Morrison v. Olson (1988), a dissent which gained a cult following on the right. In June, 2018, Barr had sent an unsolicited nineteen-page memorandum to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, slamming Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.12 Insisting that the President should not be interrogated by Mueller for an obstruction of justice, Barr zeroed in on the possibility that Trump would be condemned for firing the director of the FBI, James Comey.

Pepys Island as a Pacific stepping stone: the struggle to capture islands on early modern maps
2018
This paper will investigate how geographic features were recorded on maps in the eighteenth century in order to outline the construction of geographic knowledge by British mapmakers. Due to practical and economic factors, early modern cartography was a conservative practice based on source compilation and comparison. For the Pacific region especially, the paucity of first-hand observations and the conflicting nature of those observations rendered the world's largest ocean difficult to chart and prone to the retention of mythical continents, passages and islands. After a discussion of the practical and economic reasons why geographic features were difficult to revise on maps, the article focuses on a case study to show how geographic enigmas could be placed and persist. It will use Pepys Island to illustrate the ways in which a chimeric feature could become instilled in geographic parlance.

PREFACE
2020
COVID-19 has created a pandemic unprecedented in modern times. Schools, businesses, restaurants, and even churches have closed their doors to limit the spread of the virus. Many of life's most cherished events, including weddings, graduations, births, baptisms, and, perhaps most tragically, funerals, have been postponed, conducted virtually, or limited to only immediate family members. It is times like these that can bring us together as a nation in thought, prayer, word, and action. And there are many accounts of such unity and mutual encouragement. However, the pandemic has also highlighted the divisive partisan rhetoric that unfortunately characterizes this country-a divisiveness that threatens, among other things, our constitutional structure and the liberty it guards.
