A friendly Reminder

Can a single district judge order everyone in the country to do something? What are the limits on the powers federal judges can exercise? While the case United State v. CASA is about birthright citizenship, the question before the court is how far does a district judge’s power extend. Birthright citizenship has been a very hot topic for the last few years. When Donald Trump signed an executive order that quoted both the Constitution of the United States and federal law, claim

Do you lose your rights when you cross state lines?  Does a state have the power to ignore licenses from another state? Can Massachusetts require visitors from out of state to get their permission before carrying a firearm in their state? Can Massachusetts prosecute out-of-staters who can legally carry in their home state? That was the question before Massachusetts courts in two cases. Needless to say, when these courts agreed with the plaintiffs, the Commonwealth disagreed,

Are there limits to the powers of a federal agency? When Congress created OSHA, did they follow the Constitution? While the Supreme Court failed to take the time to consider these questions, We the People should. Was the Occupational Safety and Health Administration properly created? Was the grant of authority Congress gave the agency constitutional and valid, or did Congress create an overpowered agency to micromanage businesses throughout the United States? That is the ques

Does the Constitution matter any more? Is there something wrong with the Constitution? Does the Constitution need to be rewritten, or just reread? I’ve spent a lot of time the last few years wondering why Americans do not celebrate Constitution Day. Then it occurred to me that we have spent so much time and effort trampling the document, along with the freedoms and liberties it’s designed to protect, We the People are simply too apathetic to celebrate the Constitution or too

The WHO Pandemic Agreement includes a lot of powers for this U.N. agency. Many claims about what would happen should President Biden sign this agreement. Except all of the claims that this “treaty” would be legally binding in the United States are not true. The World Health Organization’s (WHO) Pandemic Agreement has been in the news again lately. Not only does this United Nation organization want the power to take over the world in a “health emergency”, but numerous politici

Does the Constitution still matter anymore? Is the Constitution a magically document that will save the day? Or is it the only tool that can restore our rights. I meet a lot of people who think the Constitution is useless, while others wonder how people can get away with violating it. While these may appear to be opposing positions, I believe they stem from the same misconception: That the Constitution of the United States is some superhero that will come flying in to save th

What powers does the Constitution delegate to the legislative branch of government? Most of the powers delegated to Congress are found in Article I, Section 8, but not all of them. How can we complain about our representatives in Congress not staying within the limits of the Constitution if we keep electing them to do so? I encourage people to ask questions. I believe there are only two “stupid” questions in the world: The one you don’t ask and the one you ask three times. Qu

What powers are vested in the federal courts? Why did Alexander Hamilton refer to the judiciary as the least able to harm our rights? What does the Constitution say about the supremacy of Supreme Court opinions? In this third installment of the three-part series on the branches of government, we look at the role of the third and weakest branch. At least that’s what our Founding Fathers thought. What is the role of the federal judiciary? What is the extent of their powers, how

How many federal departments and agencies are constitutional and how many are not? How much of the President’s cabinet does not legally exist? What are the consequences of such a large part of the Executive Branch being constitutionally invalid? A couple of weeks ago someone claiming to be my “#1 Fan”, at least that’s the name they used, asked an interesting question. “Any chance you could make a YouTube video going through each major executive federal agency or department an
