It's nice to have friends in high places. Or to sit on high yourself - way up above the law. Or so Oklahoma Attorney General Drew Edmondson must think, as he chirps from his high perch. Last year, State Representative Mike Reynolds detailed publicly that Attorney General Edmondson had violated…

Oklahoma State Senator Randy Brogdon is disappointed by the most recent objectionable conduct of his state's attorney general. The AG, Drew Edmondson, publicly opposes a bill to term-limit the offices of state officials, including his. The proposal would impose a twelve-year maximum. Mild as far as term limits go, but…

A Daily Oklahoman editorial laments the killing of a bill that would have created a task force to study the state's initiative process, writing, "The initiative petition process in Oklahoma is in need of a fix." That's why Representative Randy Terrill sponsored the bill. Which passed the House 86 yays…

You can't answer every random fallacy uttered by fierce foes of facts and logic. Can't always ignore them either. Like, when your polemical adversary is trying to jail you for ten years. I refer to Oklahoma Attorney General Drew Edmondson, who indicted me and two others for abetting democracy in…

Supposedly, we three willfully violated an arbitrary residency requirement for signature gatherers. As I've explained at the freepauljacob.com website, we acted in good…

I’m beginning to feel sorry for Oklahoma. That may seem a little strange to regular readers. They know that Oklahoma Attorney General Drew Edmondson is prosecuting me, along with two other activists, for work on a 2005 petition drive to cap state spending. He’s trying to throw us in prison…

Here's another interesting court decision in Oklahoma. Oh, this time it's not a petition with hundreds of thousands of voter signatures being tossed out. And no, it's not quite as crazy as that ruling allowing a man to photograph up the skirts of girls at the mall. This time Oklahoma's…

If it can happen to former President Donald Trump — something like the politically motivated ham-sandwich indictment issuing from an avid Trump-hating Democratic DA — can it happen to you and me? It already happened to me. Fifteen years ago. Handcuffs and leg-irons. Paul Jacob, Rick Carpenter, Susan Johnson. The…

The political establishment resists reform. Voters have had to take their favorite causes - like term limits and tax limits - over the heads of politicians, directly to fellow voters. And politicians don't much like us voters having all that say-so. That's why they've tried to legislate the initiative process…
