Where’s the money going? The states don’t want to do this because they know that if they do it, you’re going to revolt. That’s why we have this story in the form that it is today. Check out today’s transcript for the rest…….Continue

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – John, when the law becomes so voluminous that it cannot be known, it cannot be enforced, by definition. Federalist Paper No. 61 written by James Madison, live it, love it, learn it. You’ll read all about Madison saying why the Necessary and Proper Clause must be used very cautiously and judiciously because you don’t want the creation of such a labyrinth of laws that no one can possibly know what it is, and therefore no one coul….Continue

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - If you’re going to have a written law and you choose not to obey it, why do you have a written law, Mr. Seidman? That’s what I would ask you in return. By the by, what part of the Constitution and the ratification of same is illegal? If you’re going to say that it’s illegal, what I assume that he means is that it was illegal because there was a perpetual union formed by the Articles of Confederation. None of the states at the….Continue

Mike Explains Why There Is A Written Constitution

Contains Exclusive: Audio, Transcript Topics: , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Audio and Transcript - The people are sovereign. They choose to form a government. They grant some power to that government in writing with a binding document, call it a constitution. When the people that execute the power exceed the grant, then they are removed. It’s as simple as that. If you’re not willing to do that, then good luck with your term limits. Good luck with cutting people’s hands and feet off. Good luck with trying to censo….Continue

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - What it takes to be a constitutional expert today is to have gone to a law school on the East Coast, it’s as simple as that, and to have had some professor profess to teach the subject.  What they actually teach, if they teach at all, is they teach Supreme Court history.  It’s not really Constitution history; it’s Supreme Court history.  Constitution history is a fairly straightforward field of stud….Continue

Why Are Secession Petitions A Naughty Term?

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Audio and Transcript - How ironic is this?  You want the greatest irony of all ironies?  In the Articles of Confederation, it says that the articles, once ratified, were to make a perpetual league of friendship, I believe.  They use the word “perpetual.”  How perpetual was it when eleven of the states living under it in 1787 and 1788 seceded from it and gave it up and instead adopted the new plan, the Constitutio….Continue
