Do governments have the legal authority to dictate employment decisions to private organizations, especially religious ones? Does the Supreme Court of Washington have the power to ignore the law and dictate to a gospel mission who they have to employ? Why did the Supreme Court of the United States refuse to hear this case? 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 th

Have you noticed that most of society tries to keep us focused on the President and the Federal Government? While everyone is looking toward Washington, D.C. to save us, they are not the only ones taking away your rights. Why should we focus on grassroots government rather than Washington, D.C.? 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

How do you know if freedom of religion still exists in America? What protects our freedom of religion? Do courts have the authority to interpret a church’s own rule to them? 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 aske

Does an influx of illegal aliens constitute an invasion? If this is an invasion, what does the Constitution require the federal government to do? What are the consequences of referring to the masses of illegal aliens as invaders? A reader sent me an email about the influx of illegal aliens on our southern border. The question of whether or not this constituted an invasion and thereby requires a response by the federal government under Article IV, Section 4, is one which is wo

How familiar are the American people with what the First Amendment says? What do the American people think about the freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment? What is the overall state of the First Amendment in American society? I got the idea for the Constitution Study while listening to a podcast reporting on the 2013 State of the First Amendment Survey. While the First Amendment Center has not issued a survey since 2019, based on what I’ve been seeing lately it’s still w

The Constitution is the supreme law of the land. And at Article IV and Section 4, the Constitution says this: “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion…” So, the federal government has an affirmative duty to secure the borders of our country against invasion. But Joe Biden and his agents are doing exactly the opposite. Under his direction, agents of the federal government h

Do you know how we elect a President? Do you know who is in charge of Presidential elections? What do you think would happen if Congress set the rules for Presidential elections? Does Congress have the legal power to regulate Presidential elections? The answer is no. Yet 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 Constitu

How are the Emergency Use Authorization laws being manipulated in order to promote “vaccines” that are not legally vaccines? What is the role of medical ethics in the ongoing push for “vaccine” mandates? What is informed consent and why is it so important? Many of you may be wondering what medical ethics has to do with the Constitution. Many who’ve been following what’s been going on with the COVID-19 “vaccine” and related mandates have asked me about the Nuremberg Code. Whil

These cases are not about the validity of these “vaccine” mandates, only whether or not to enjoin them until they’ve worked their way through the courts. The court has decided to “split the baby”, enjoining the OSHA mandate while lifting stays against the HHS one. Not one attorney or justice quoted the Constitution in either their oral arguments or the court’s opinion. In a previous post I reviewed the oral arguments before the Supreme Court in two sets of cases involving fed

Has Congress granted executive agencies the power to promulgate vaccine mandate regulations? That was the question before the Supreme Court. Who decides? That is the core question in these cases. Who decides under what conditions you will work? Who decides what medical procedures you need to receive to live freely in society? Who decides what powers the federal government has? Can we still call ourselves a constitutional republic when the constitution is routinely ignored by

Are we watching while America transforms from a constitutional republic into a banana republic? When did the American people consent to government ruling by edict and mandate rather than by legislation? What will be the consequences if the American people allow our elected officials to act as kings and queens rather than public servants? Recently, a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction against Secretary of Health and Human Services, Xavier Becerra, enforcing new rule

Across America, many Governors, County Executives, and lesser officials have blatantly and completely violated the God-given and constitutionally protected rights they have sworn an oath to protect and defend. Using fear, fake statistics, and the cover story of a health emergency, they have criminally and treasonously aided and abetted our country’s enemies. Their subversion, inversion, and perversion of American law is so base, so vulgar, and so massive that, should the coun

Does Congress have the legitimate power to enact any legislation they think is necessary? Can Congress legitimately pass a law that requires car manufacturers to search your person without probable cause? What happened to holding the guilty responsible for their actions rather than the innocent? Article I, Section 8, Clause 18 of the Constitution is the Necessary and Proper Clause. To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing

Does anyone in government have the legal authority to regulate a constitutionally protected right? Can Congress pass a law that violates the Constitution as long as the Supreme Court says it’s OK? How can We the People restore our rights in the face a tyrannical government that is violating its primary purpose, to protect your rights. The Declaration of Independence lists some of our inalienable rights. It also says “That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted amo

The FDA has announced that, starting next year, they will begin using a test that can distinguish the covid 19 virus from the flu. Say what?!? You mean the test that has been used for the last two years – along with the statistics that were relied upon to lockdown, isolate, and otherwise violate the liberty and the livelihood of Americans -- does NOT differentiate between Covid-19 and the flu? You mean all this time, all the reported “cases” of covid, and “positivity rates” a

Is engaging in commerce probable cause that a crime is being committed simply because it involves a firearm, firearm accessory, or ammunition? What about other writs of assistance that Congress has illegally authorized through legislation? How can you live at liberty if government claims the right to watch anything they think might be used criminally in the future? Benjamin Franklin said: They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither libe

Recent oral arguments at the Supreme Court have brought to the public’s attention not only the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health, but Roe v. Wade and the “right” to abortion itself. The heart of this case is much more than abortion. The willingness of the Supreme Court to abandon previous opinions that they recognize are wrong and the supremacy of precedent above the law and the Constitution is also on trial. Some on the court are concerned with what will happen to their reputa

There are some who claim that the United States became a private corporation in 1871. What about The District of Columbia Act of 1871? Did that turn America from a constitutional republic into a corporation? Does the Constitution allow Congress to incorporation the United States of America? One concept that I often see or hear people express is that the United States is now a private corporation. Those who make these claims often cite The District of Columbia Act of 1871 as

by Paul Engel When can government actors make decisions for your children? Do government actors have the legal authority to take your children if they do not approve your parental decisions? What does a 50 year old federal court case have to do with today’s governmental overreach? With the recent “approval” of the Pfizer vaccine for 5-11 year olds, many are wondering when the “recommendation” to vaccinate will become a mandate. Do governments have the legal authority to inter

by Attorney Michael Peroutka Let’s suppose you are challenged to a game of “Chrombus.” Let’s also suppose that if you lose the game, you will be a slave for the rest of your life and so will your children. Let’s further suppose that the game of “Chrombus” has already started and it’s your turn. Would you know what to do? Would you know how to line up? Or what equipment to bring? Would you know how to dress for the game? And how would you know if you are winning or losing? Can
