We continue our discussion on the judicial branch, this time focusing on packing the Supreme Court! Should we pack the courts to achieve a particular agenda? Should there be a constitutional amendment preventing congress from packing the bench? We discuss all that and more -- Don't miss it!

It's a Constitutional Convention! Welcome to the limited series Blueprint, a collaboration between Ryan from Between the Liars and Ken from Taboo Topic. This series is designed to envision a smaller federal government that is limited in power and scope, much like the founding fathers originally intended. Each week Ryan & Ken take one issue they see with the current government and discuss it, then they propose a constitutional amendment to rectify the situation. At the end of this series they will finalize their amendments and you will have the opportunity to ratify them (follow our social medias so you don't miss the vote!). Join the fun and the discussion!

A new episode of Blueprint will be released each Friday.

In the midst of blackouts & brownouts, California announces they will ban the sale of non-electric vehicles by 2035. California has had wildly inefficient power grids and refuses to use carbon-based energy to subsidize their lack of power and inability to store energy. At the same time, the charging stations for EVs and lubricants for wind-powered mechanisms rely on carbon. Is this promise to eradicate non EVs just political grandstanding or based in the science? Will it significantly reduce carbon emissions? Will it negatively affect our quality of life--particularly for those in the lower & middle-class? Join us for a discussion over climate change and Democrats' proposals (in California and across the U.S.) to address it.

It's the first livestreamed episode of Blueprint!! This time Ryan & Ken take a deep dive into the legislative process. What is it? What are the criticisms? How can we improve it? We propose limitations like single-issue bills, the requirement to read all bills and resolutions in their entirety before a vote, and the option to impeach a representative for encroaching on the constitution with their legislation. Don't miss it!

Somehow this episode got lost in the ether and never made it to our podcast platforms, so here it is!! Ryan & Josh review the history of voting rights and regulations in the US as congress continues to "debate" more laws related to voting. Yes, this was timely back when Senate Democrats were pushing looser restrictions on voting (although midterms are coming up and they will probably start pushing that again). 

Obviously this will be wayyy more entertaining than your million-year old politicians pretending to serve you, so strap in! Josh gives a very thorough overview of the history of voting rights, obstacles, and racism while Ryan makes sure he doesn't go too far out there and claim things that are not supported by the data. It's a GREAT discussion with this dynamic duo, SUPER informative--you don't wanna miss it!!
