  • Second Amendment Sanctuaries - Featuring Mike Maharrey of the Tenth Amendment Center

    While Second Amendment Sanctuaries are a fantastic idea, there is a big problem. People who believe they live in a 2A sanctuary city or state often are mistaken. Mike Maharrey of the Tenth Amendment Center joins me to discuss what the truth is about Second Amendment Sanctuaries, what are some myths surrounding them & what you can do to on a state or local level to prevent federal encroachment on your right to keep and bear arms.

  • Originalism And Textualism: A Complete Guide To Their Understanding & Application

    Originalism and Textualism are judicial philosophies few people have a good understanding of. In fact some of the more absurd misconceptions I have heard espoused about these methods of interpretation came from people who profess to be originalists or textualists. The fact is there is very little good information out there on which to base your opinion and understanding of these concepts unless you are someone who spends a great deal of time in law libraries and have an inclination to buckle down and figure these differences out.

    This video is meant to help with that lack of knowledge. Whether you don't even know what a judicial philosophy is or a law student getting mixed messages from different sources about what these philosophies entail, this video will be of use to you. We look at the two main forms of Originalism to understand where they do and do not agree, we then look at textualism and Originalism to find out what these mean individually, as well as on what they agree upon and where they differ.
    There are two very common misconceptions that I specifically take aim at in this video:
    First: Originalism and Textualism are just two different terms for one single concept
    Second- Originalism and Textualism and Originalism are fundamentally contradictory judicial philosophies
    These are both commonly espoused and neither of them is correct. You will learn WHY they are incorrect and so, so much more.

  • Julian Assange, Freedom Of The Press & The Myth Of Constitutional Rights

    Episode #57

    Today on Categorical Imperatives we will be discussion Julian Assange and Constitutional law. For those not following the legal battle being fought right now in both England and America by their respective government's solicitors general and the counsel for Assange, we recently learned that the governments main witness in the case brought against Assange for espionage admitted to completely fabricating his allegations. about Assange to the FBI.
    I thought I would take the unraveling of the case against Assange & run with it by discussing several ways the government's other allegations don't hold up to even a cursory amount of scrutiny.
    At it's core, we have 3 very common misconceptions . The first one being the useless argument about Constitutional rights. To Whom do they apply and what exactly do they protect. But disagreements of that nature are little more than a manufactured distraction from a greater truth. That the belief in Constitutional rights themselves is false. There is no such thing as a Constitutional right.
    Second, the idea that the first amendment's protection of the right to "freedom of the press" is a protection of a profession as opposed to press as technology or a general activity.
    And an honorable mention goes to a 3rd myth - That is the idea that to the extent Assange may qualify for press protections in the abstract, it doesn’t matter because his actual publications of specific material amounts to sedition, and sedition is not a protected right of free expression.
    I will not be talking about this today because I very recently put out a video and an article called “Sedition: An American Virtue”
    Podcast Episode: https://youtu.be/1lmkWCgrWIc
    Article: https://libertarianinstitute.org/articles/sedition-an-american-virtue/
    There you will find a very comprehensive understanding of why this "sedition isn't protected speech" is a bullshit argument.

  • McCulloch v Maryland (Part One) - Today In Supreme Court History

    Episode #58

    Today on Categorical Imperatives we return to my favorite (and mot popular & requested by you, dear viewers!) series "Today In Supreme Court History"
    Because it is impossible to sit around and wait for a date celebrating the anniversary of the cases covered the "Today" in Today In Supreme Court History merely signifies today is the day I decided to make a video about a classic case of American Jurisprudence.

    McCulloch v. Maryland, 17 U.S. 316 (1819) - https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/17/316/

    This case is considered by many Constitutional law scholars (and many of the best scholars like Rob Natelson, Josh Blackman & Steve Schwartz) to be the most important & foundational case in the corpus of Supreme Court case law (a claim I fully endorse.
    The same scholars will also say that McCulloch is also the most misunderstood case in the Court's history (a claim I largely, but not completely, agree with)
    That is why this will be a 3 part series.
    This episode is part one - We will be going through a case brief I put together that should provide you the essential background in history & the proceedings that are "necessary & proper" to understand before the more advanced topics of the upcoming episodes:

    Episode 2 will be to refute a very common complaint we hear from conservatives about this case; they depict McCulloch as justifying vast federal powers under a broad interpretation of the Constitution. They portray Marshall as a “big government” judge. That portrayal is wrong. McCulloch v. Maryland is sometimes claimed to be “the most misunderstood” case in American constitutional law .
    Episode 3 will be talking about how the picture of “implied powers” presented here, coming from John Marshall in the Courts opinion is the antecedent to any number of constitutional doctrines.

  • McCulloch v Maryland (Part Two Necessary & Proper)

    Episode #59

    Today we continue with the latest video for my ongoing series "Today In Supreme Court History" with the second installment in a three part series I am doing on the foundational Constitutional law case of McCulloch v. Maryland, 17 U.S. 316 (1819)
    A case which is considered by some of our most prominent lawyers, jurists & scholars to be the most important case in the corpus of constitutional law. People like Rob Natelson, Randy Barnett, Josh Blackman, David Schwartz. As well as not so prominent constitutional scholars like me. I endorse this view of this case.
    Episode One: Was a case brief on the with the historical and legal background relevant to the case.
    Episode Two: We will be examining the role the Necessary & Proper Clause plays in this case, as well as a deep dive into the Original Public Meaning of the Necessary & Proper Clause
    Part Three: Will be the legacy of McCulloch right up to today & why it is that the bad reputation this case has for constitutional conservatives who see McCulloch as the source of nearly unlimited federal power under the United States,. We will discuss how and why that reputation is largely unfair and inaccurate.
    This episode covers::
    ►00:00 Introduction
    ►01:00 Textual Analysis of "Necessary" and "Proper"
    ►05:10 Original Meaning Of The Clause & The Three Great Purposes

  • McCulloch v Maryland (Part Three A Destructive Legacy)

    Episode # 60

    Today on Categorical Imperatives we arrive at the 3rd and final video in my series on McCulloch v Maryland (1819)
    This case is widely considered the most consequential, important case the corpus of Constitutional case law. It is foundational to the historical construction of the 'Necessary & Proper clause', it did more to shape the doctrine of judicial review than the more well known Marbury v Madison (1803) case. McCulloch also created a precedent for what we now refer to as the intergovernmental tax immunity doctrine (which sounds so boring you could fall asleep just reading it's title) But, as we talk about in this video, it is a fascinating, controversial and defining concept. This is equally true for another rule of construction Marshall invented out of thin air in the McCulloch case known as "Obstacle Preemption" that I explain in this video..
    Moswt of all, the misinterpretation and misconstruction of the ruling in McCulloch has created a devastating legacy ever since the Progressive Movement hijacked and weaponized Marshall's dicta in the case around the turn of the 20th century.
    We will be discussing all that & more in this episode. It really is a fascinating case and I have no doubt you will walk away fropm this thoroughly convinced that McCulloch deserves the distinction scholars and give have given it as the most important of all Supreme Court cases.

  • No MSNBC, Libertarians DO NOT Support Vaccine Mandates
    Episode #61
    Today on Categorical Imperatives... For some ridiculous reason libertarian legal scholar Ilya Somin appeared on MSNBC to explain why libertarians support vaccine mandates. Today's episode we will be examining the clip of that appearance, discussing why the answers he gives are bullshit, why he should not have gone on to give some two-bit political progressive agitator posing as a journalist any sense of credibility and I will be giving my own response to the questions do libertarians support vaccine mandates.

  • Supreme Court vs. The Second Amendment (Supreme Court Round-up- The good, the bad & the ugly)

    In this episode we consider the future of the Second Amendment. In a recent episode about the 9th Circuit carry case Young v Hawaii (2021) I speculated that the Second Amendment is well on it's way to being swept into the dustbin of repudiated Constitutional principles. No one likes to admit they may have been wrong, in this case I make an exception. We discuss a recenty decided case and a fast approaching case and I will explain why I hope these cases may prove me wrong. But I also explain the very real possibility these cases could conclusively prove me right. It all depends on the circumstances & outcome


    The cases in question are the recent and upcoming (respectively listed):

    Caniglia v. Strom (2021) - https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/20pdf/20-157_8mjp.pdf

    This is NYS Rifle & Pistol Association v. Corlett (2021) - https://www.supremecourt.gov/search.aspx?filename=/docket/docketfiles/html/public/20-843.html)
