After almost 50 years, a landmark decision of the Supreme Court has been overturned. Will it be remembered with other decisions like Dred Scott or Plessy v. Ferguson? Only time will tell. After all of the furor when a draft of the opinion was leaked, we finally get a chance to review that actual opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health in its final form.

Last year, I re-examined the Declaration of Independence in the light of current events. After another year, I believe the evidence is clear, the government in Washington, D.C. has become just as corrupt, despotic, and destructive or your rights as the government of King George III was. This year, I want to look at this new evidence to show you just how fast the American people are rushing toward servitude. I also want to take a closer look how We the People can regain control of our governments, restore our freedom, liberty, and rights, and once again show that tyrants are unfit to govern a free people.

Regardless of the problem du jour, I'm frequently asked what We the People can do. Everyone seems to think all the answers are in Washington, D.C. But a look at the Constitution and some Supreme Court opinions will show that the answer to an out of control federal government is a lot closer to home.

Have you ever considered how money relates to speech? The federal government has. One of the issues with federal election law is the limitation on the use of money for a candidate to get their message out. What does the case FEC v Cruz have to do with free speech? More important, what does it show about the corruption of elections in America?

There are certain Supreme Court cases that are infamous, either for their import or their error. Miranda, Roe v. Wade, and Obergefell are just a few. Two of these cases are known simply as Dred Scot and Korematsu. These cases are not only examples of when the courts get things wrong, but of our nature to treat others as less than human.

As children, we receive protection of our rights through our parents. But have you ever considered at what age you receive protections for your rights directly? Is it the same for all rights, or are there different ages when you receive protections for different rights? The case Jones v. Bonta asked the question, when do you receive protections for your right to keep and bear arms. The answer out of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals may surprise you.

When is flying a flag government speech? That was the question before the Supreme Court in the case of Shurtleff, et al. V. City Of Boston et al. Could the City of Boston refuse to fly a Christian flag? Was the city required to do so? Or did Harold Shurtleff have the right to fly the flag of his choice on public property? What does this mean for other Freedom of Speech cases around the country?

You've probably heard about the "ruling" from a U.S. District Court Judge in Florida that "struck down" the CDC's mask mandate on public transportation. There has been plenty of discussion about what this means, how people have reacted, and the fact that the Biden administration is appealing this decision. What has been lost in most of the conversation is that the judge did not find the rule unconstitutional. What does this fact mean for the American people?

What can you do when government abuses their powers? I've talked before about the right to petition the government for a redress of grievance and how the judicial precedent of sovereign immunity violates that right. But what happens when law enforcement or the justice department abuses their prosecutorial powers? How do you seek redress for a malicious prosecution? For years it has been extremely hard to do so, but a recent Supreme Court opinion may balance the scales.

Join a group of Everyday Americans as we learn to read and study the Constitution, and teach the rising generation to live free.

The First Amendment prohibits Congress from passing laws that abridge your right to petition the government for a redress of grievance. Yet not only has Congress ignore that restriction on their actions, but the federal courts have piled on. Today, I will look at what the right to petition means, how that has been violated, and what the American people can do about it.

Misdirection is the stock and trade of both magicians and politicians. Over the years, the American people have been conditioned to focus on Washington, D.C. as both the source of our problems and their solution. In doing so, we are allowing those in our state and local government to steal our rights and our liberties right out from under our noses.

Imagine your rights are under attack. You seek assistance from those who have sworn to protect you, only to be attacked again. You reach out to what you think is your last hope, only to be rebuffed. Now consider how that must feel, to be abandoned by those who have sworn to protect you. Enter Seattle's Union Gospel Mission. Their freedom of religion is under attack, not by the laws of the State of Washington, but by a disgruntled job applicant. The Supreme Court of Washington placed their political preferences above their oath to support Constitution of the State of Washington. Then when the Missions seeks redress from the Supreme Court of the United States, they are rebuffed. Their only cold consolation, the statement by two justices that the court may have to deal with this infringement in the future. I've asked this before and I'll ask it again. Do you truly have Freedom of Religion when those who have sworn or affirmed to protect it fail to do so?

We all recognize that property can be foreclosed on for failure to pay a tax debt. What happens when the value of the foreclosure is greater than the debt owed? A case out of Michigan, recently appealed to the Sixth Circuit, seeks redress for just such situations. Eight citizens of Oakland County Michigan are suing the county for, among other things, taking property worth far more than the tax debt owed, then not reimbursing them the difference. Is this an illegal taking, or a deprivation of property without due process? Or could it simply be a scheme to defraud both the homeowners and taxpayers of Oakland County?

How can you tell if you have freedom of religion? Is it because of the First Amendment? Does freedom of religion exist because people say so? Does freedom of religion exist if government can decide whether you are properly following the tenants of your religion? A recent case before the Supreme Court asked that very question. Sadly, the court decided not to consider answering it.

A reader sent me an email about the influx of illegal aliens on our souther border. The question of whether or not this constituted an invasion and thereby requiring a response by the federal government under Article IV, Section 4 is one worth taking a closers look at. Not only the question of does this constitution an invasion or not, but what are the consequences of such a point of view?

With all of the unconstitutional laws, executive orders, and regulations coming out of Washington, D.C. lately, people often wonder, what can be done. Out of control governments are nothing new in America. At the end of the 18th century, two of our Founding Fathers wrote about keeping what we now call the federal government in check. Let's look at how these two men expected the states to rein in the federal government.

And just what are the responsibilities of the federal government to protect that republican for of government?

With the recent passing of legislation in both Wisconsin and Nebraska, the call for a Convention of States is once again in the news, which has brought up a lot of comments and more than a few questions.

Let's take a dive into the Convention of States, and see if we can answer these questions.

Does Congress have the legal power to regulate Presidential elections? The answer is no, unless you are a leader in the Senate. Senators Angus King, Amy Klobuchar, and Dick Durbin have released a discussion draft of their legislation to place Congress in control of the Presidential election process, in direct violation of the Constitution of the United States. Let's look at this blatant act of theft in the light of what the Constitution actually says. Then we can decide how to deal with these oath-breakers.

Thank you for taking the time to create this resource! News sources and our culture grossly mislead us about the law of our land. I appreciate these concise lessons!

Thank you!

Just attended a conference at which he spoke.  I sat through a 50 minute presentation in which he laid out his course of discussion on the constitution.  It was concise, to the point and well thought out.  The problem is that most of our current generation do not understand the powers enumerated and laid out for the branches of government.  It isn’t difficult to see how people who watch reality TV all day have difficulty following constitutional logic and leave a bad review.  That is his point.  We’ve stopped teaching the constitution and began teaching law students opinions on constitutional law.
