The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – A listener’s question prompts a look at whether Congress can require constitutional literacy tests for its members. The Constitution sets congressional qualifications, but voters can still demand civic understanding from candidates and themselves before empowering officials who misuse authority or ignore constitutional limits in government...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – I’m reminded of the line from the movie, The Princess Bride. “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.” Because when I look up “fascism” in the dictionary, I find two things. First, there’s some fascism in both major political parties. Second, one party appears to be steeped in it...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – The FBI made a big announcement about nationwide violent crime going down. While that is generally good news, think about it for a second. While crime may have gone down across the nation, what about those areas where violent crime still runs rampant? Should they celebrate the fact that other parts of the country have less violent crime while...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Politics has become all about the money. Taking money from donors, spending money on campaigns, and embezzling money from taxpayers to bribe people for their votes. Once you figure out that politics is all about the money, things start to make more sense. Obama signed the Affordable Care Act, which actually made healthcare less affordable...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – It’s not just the soldier, sailor, airman, or marine who has given the last full measure of devotion, but their families as well. Those men and women who gave their last full measure of devotion. We often forget that those in the military do not take an oath to the President or even the government of the United States, but to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Election controversies raise urgent questions about whether Americans can still trust the republic they inherit. From blocked oversight in Georgia to voter-registration fraud in Los Angeles and gerrymandering battles before state and federal courts, secrecy, legal fights, and political maneuvering challenge confidence in fair representation and self-government nationwide today again...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – A politicized judiciary raises urgent questions about constitutional limits, court packing, government weaponization, and parental rights. From Supreme Court reform battles to a Kentucky mother’s fight for school transparency, Americans face a growing concern: when politics corrupts legal institutions, where can ordinary people turn for justice and fair resolution today?

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Have you noticed how people in government get their way? By bullying and intimidation. You see, they’re hoping that you do not know your rights and just capitulate to their demands. There are reports that the CIA has seized files from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. The ODNI denies these reports, so we’re not sure...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Democrats seem to be throwing temper tantrums because the Virginia Supreme Court found they didn’t follow the law for the recent ballot initiative to gerrymander their districts. One attorney seems to be calling for the abolishment of the state government because the Democrats didn’t get their way. It seems most politicians reason and act like children...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – There shouldn't be different standards for those in government and those of us who aren’t. For example, the FBI is probing members of the Senate Intelligence Committee for leaking classified information. Should a Senator or a member of their staff be treated differently from Joe Public? What about federal judges who seem to substitute their political agendas for...
