525 - The Frightful Despotism of Political Parties Jun 01, 2026

Show notes

George Washington warned us that political parties bring their own frightful despotism. From gerrymandering to primaries, We the People have allowed political parties to not only rule our elections, but to poison our interactions with their venom and hatred. Will we continue to let these private organizations drag the United States into the ash heap of history?

524 - First Choice v. New Jersey May 25, 2026

Show notes

Contrary to what the Supreme Court believed in both the Roe and Dobbs decision, the question of abortion has not been settled in the United States. The case of First Choice v. New Jersey shows just how far some states will go to oppose the pro-life movement.

523 - Marriage and the Fourteenth Amendment May 18, 2026

Show notes

In 2015 the Supreme Court decided in the case Obergefell v. Hodges, that the Fourteenth Amendment protected the right for homosexuals to get marriage. In 2026 the State of Tennessee is working on legislation that points out that private groups are organizations are not bound by the Fourteenth Amendment, and therefore by Obergefell.

522 - Free Speech in Colorado May 11, 2026

Show notes

In the recent case Chiles v. Salazar, the Supreme Court was asked if Colorado's "Conversion Therapy" law violated the Ms. Chiles right to free speech. As is so often the case, the court agreed that the law violated Ms. Chiles free speech rights, just for the wrong reasons.

521 - Freedom's Extinction May 04, 2026

Show notes

Ronald Reagan once said that "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction." Is this the generation when that finally happens? You may think I'm being hyperbolic, but I think the evidence supports the possibility that this is true.

520 - Birthright Citizenship at Oral Arguments Apr 27, 2026

Show notes

Does anyone who is born on our land automatically receive citizenship? Not according to the Fourteenth Amendment, but that hasn't stopped the courts from messing this up. Which is exactly what I expect from the Supreme Court in the case Trump v. Barbara.

519 - Defining Election Day Apr 20, 2026

Show notes

Congress gets to set Election Day, at least for federal offices. But is Election Day defined as the day the votes are cast, or the day they are counted? That is the question in the case Watson v. RNC.

518 - Legalized Theft Apr 13, 2026

Show notes

You've probably heard of the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment. But does the Constitution allow a county to take and sell someones land to make a profit? That is the main question in the case Pung v Isabella County.

517 - Parent's Rights in California Apr 06, 2026

Show notes

California has been violating parent's rights for years. While a recent Supreme Court case has been hailed as a win for the good guys, it is just a small step restoring the role of parents in the lives of their children.

516 - Suing the US Postal Service Mar 30, 2026

Show notes

Lebene Konan sued the Euless, Texas post office for what she claimed were there intentional failure to deliver mail to rental property she owned. The Supreme Court just said she didn't have the right to sue.
