While the New York Times claims it’s all the news that’s fit to print, many news stories there and elsewhere seem more like hallucinations...

Show notes

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – When it comes to being secure in your person, house, papers, and effects, what does it mean for a search or seizure to be reasonable?

The separation of powers Americans forgot Sep 25, 2026

Show notes

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – You’re probably not as familiar with Separation of Powers as you think you are. Most Americans are aware of the separation between the three branches of government. Few seem aware of the separation of powers between the states and the federal government.

Show notes

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – You may be familiar with the novel “Crime and Punishment” by Fyodor Dostoevsky. Unlike that work of fiction, crimes and their punishments happen quite frequently, and government actors are not immune.

Show notes

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – An 18th-century French princess is known for saying "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche.” In English, “Let them eat cake.” This phrase has become part of our vernacular, showing a person with utter disregard for the people they claim to rule.

The Constitution’s forgotten promise: Government has limits Sep 19, 2026

Show notes

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Unique in world history, the Constitution of the United States not only established what we now call the federal government, but gives We the People tools to both defend and assert our rights. That has not stopped Congress from passing laws and creating agencies in violation of the supreme law of the land. Sadly though, most...

Show notes

$9 trillion later and the climate keeps changing – go figure! Sep 17, 2026

Show notes

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – According to the so-called “experts,” we all should have sweated to death decades ago, but we haven’t. Do you realize that the world has spent $9 trillion dollars just since 2020 in a futile attempt to limit the rise in global temperatures?
