SCOTUS Kennedy on Campaign Finance Case - 2010 Apr 12, 2021

Show notes

S03-E06 We feature U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy sharing the court's opinion about the Citizens United case that dramatically changed campaign finance laws in the U.S. and the influence of big money by corporations with our elections since.

If you ever wondered why there are so many political advertisements and who funds many of them, this is the defining case. After this case was decided by a slim 5 to 4 margin, unlimited money from corporations could pour into political campaigns. Before this, campaigns had to depend upon individual contributions from people. The majority for a Supreme Court opinion select one justice to speak on behalf of them. On this occasion, it will be Associate Justice Kennedy.

In addition to this audio episode, I also provide several PDF documents: first, a short overview of the case, second, a transcript of Kenney's speech, third, a concurring and dissenting opinion by Justice Thomas, and finally, a short biography of Kenney.

Let us now tune our radio dial to 2010 and listen to Justice Kennedy share a Supreme Court opinion that has changed ever election campaign since.

Rev. Billy Graham, Why the cross? 1958 Apr 02, 2021

Show notes

S03-E05 We feature Reverend Billy Graham and the speech from 1958 "Why the cross?" It is an appropriate recording to post to the podcast since it is Thursday of Holy Week, just before Christ was crucified. As a Christ-follower myself, there is nothing more central to the Christian faith than the death and resurrection of Jesus from the dead. It is part of the central message of the faith and essential for it to be meaningful. In addition to this audio episode, I also provide several PDF documents: first, a biography of Reverend Graham, second, second, a general article on how crucifixion occurred in ancient times, third, an article focused on the crucifixion of Jesus and finally, an article on the resurrection of Jesus from the dead.
