Unalienable

The most boring constitutional topic has practically become click bait in the wake of President Trump's appointment of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Today’s episode is about the Judicial branch and the very different role it plays today from what the founders intended. We'll cover judicial review, judicial legitimacy, judicial activism, the long list of judicial overreaches and terrible decisions, and what we can do about all of this.

This is THE biggest issue of our time. Today’s episode is about freedom of speech and the moral panic that threatens to end it. This battle is happening right now in every corner of the country and I truly believe that this is the most serious threat right now to our liberty and our way of life. But I don’t think most of us realize just how bad this problem is.

Today's episode is about our citizens' Constitutional ignorance, how the Constitution guides our military men and women, and why the founding fathers' perspective is just as relevant today as it ever was.

Are you afraid of the Trump Presidency? Or are you more worried about the Goliath that is our federal government? Do you resent the reach that government has into nearly every aspect of your public and private life? Wherever you fall on the political spectrum, the greatest tool you have at your disposal is the Constitution of the United States. Now more than ever, with widespread fear and resentment, each of us need to understand and use the chains of the Constitution to defend our rights and protect the self-determination of the individual Music from Jukedeck - create your own at http://jukedeck.com  Join my Patreon @ https://www.patreon.com/unalienable
