The Constitution Study podcast ·

The Constitution Study podcast ·

2026/05/11

In the recent case Chiles v. Salazar, the Supreme Court was asked if Colorado's "Conversion Therapy" law violated the Ms. Chiles right to free speech. As is so often the case, the court agreed that the law violated Ms. Chiles free speech rights, just for the wrong reasons.

521 - Freedom's Extinction

The Constitution Study podcast ·

2026/05/04

Ronald Reagan once said that "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction." Is this the generation when that finally happens? You may think I'm being hyperbolic, but I think the evidence supports the possibility that this is true.

520 - Birthright Citizenship at Oral Arguments

The Constitution Study podcast ·

2026/04/27

Does anyone who is born on our land automatically receive citizenship? Not according to the Fourteenth Amendment, but that hasn't stopped the courts from messing this up. Which is exactly what I expect from the Supreme Court in the case Trump v. Barbara.

519 - Defining Election Day

The Constitution Study podcast ·

2026/04/20

Congress gets to set Election Day, at least for federal offices. But is Election Day defined as the day the votes are cast, or the day they are counted? That is the question in the case Watson v. RNC.

You've probably heard of the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment. But does the Constitution allow a county to take and sell someones land to make a profit? That is the main question in the case Pung v Isabella County.

The Constitution Study podcast ·

2026/04/06

515 - Ending the Federal Vaccine Shield Law

The Constitution Study podcast ·

2026/03/23

In 1988, Congress passed the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. The logic behind this law was the belief that vaccines were so important to public health that holding vaccine manufacturers accountable for any injuries caused by the products was not possible. To end this unconstitutional law, Rand Paul has introduced Senate Bill 3853, the End the Vaccine Carveout Act.

513 - Trump's Tariffs Go Down at SCOTUS

The Constitution Study podcast ·

2026/03/09

After only approximately three and a half months, the Supreme Court issued their opinion in the Trump Tariff case. The speed, and the fact that opinion was released so early in the court's term, should indicate both how urgent the case was, and how impactful.

512 - Free Speech Reprieve in Hawaii

The Constitution Study podcast ·

2026/03/02

The Hawaiian legislature passed Act 191 in an attempt to prohibit "materially deceptive media" that would harm the "reputation or electoral prospects of a candidate in an election". This seems like an infringement on free speech. Thankfully the District Court for the District of Hawaii agreed.

511 - Private Property vs Gun Control

The Constitution Study podcast ·

2026/02/23

How far can a state go to regulate the right to bear arms? Can a state override a person's property rights? Can Hawaii proactively prohibit lawful gun owners from carrying on private property without owners prior consent? That is the question in the Supreme Court case Wolford v. Lopez.

510 - When Governments Replace Parents

The Constitution Study podcast ·

2026/02/16

We've all heard of the Nanny State, when government stops representing the people and tries to parent them. While there have been many attempts over the years for states to take over the parenting role of children, all with good intentions of course. However they never seem to learn that when the state tries to act as the parent, they not only fail, but often abuse the very children they claim to protect.

The Constitution Study podcast ·

507 - Constitutional Carry, but...

The Constitution Study podcast ·

2026/01/26

More than half of the states in the union allow constitutional carry, the right to carry a firearm without a permit or license. While Tennessee claims to have constitutional carry, their constitution places a but in that. A recent case in Tennessee Chancery Court asks whether two laws restricting someone's ability to bear arms is constitutional or not.

506 - Copyright Shakedown

The Constitution Study podcast ·

2026/01/19

Copyrights and patents are important protections for inventors, authors, and all sorts of creators. In the case Cox Communications v. Sony Music Entertainment, I'm reminded of the response Willie Sutton gave when asked why he robbed banks. "Because that's where the money is." Because this case seems more like a copyright shakedown than the protection of copyrights.

505 - Unreasonable Searches

The Constitution Study podcast ·

2026/01/12

When a government agency searches without a reason it's called "fishing". When the the Attorney General of New Jersey issued a subpoena demanding the names, addresses, and phone numbers of their donors, that wasn't just fishing, it was searching for a white whale.

504 - Presidential Power to Fire

The Constitution Study podcast ·

2026/01/05

I've talked before about the unitary executive. However, a recent case before the Supreme Court brings into question not only whether or not the President has the power to fire employees in the executive branch, but the very structure of the federal government.
