Thomas Jefferson asked, "Who will govern the governors?" His answer is We the People. But we have shown that we are unwilling to govern those we hire to represent us in government. Even worse, we allow private citizens and groups to use the levers of government to bully and intimidate our fellow Americans. After looking at a few examples, I want to help you learn how to inform yourself so you can help prevent the corruption of power that is rampant in our nation.

These infringements on our rights are only the symptom of a much more serious problem, the ignorance, and apathy of the American people. George Washington said that the sacred fire of liberty has been entrusted to the hands of the American people. If this is how the American people act, I wonder if we should still be trusted with that responsibility?

In the past few days, we’ve seen two pushes by Democrats in Washington to not simply subvert the law, but to grab power from the American people and establish their party as the ruling class in the United States. Will the sacred fire of liberty as George Washington said was entrusted to the American people be snuffed out?

On the morning of April 19th, 1775, the actions of a few would have an impact that would resound throughout history. All it takes is a look at the news to see that Washington, D.C., and many of our states are doing just what the British were doing in 1775. Let’s take this opportunity to remind ourselves what happened...

Recent events in Minnesota not only show how feeble the idea of justice and due process have become in America, I believe they are a portent of what is to come later this year. What happens when we turn our calls for justice into acts of revenge in our anger and frustration? If we are willing to deny due process to those we are angry at, what happens when we are the ones who need it? If, as the Preamble states, the Constitution was created to establish justice, how can we deny justice to one and in the name of justice for another? And what can the American people do to help return liberty and justice for all?

One of American's most cherished rights is that of the freedom of the press. Thomas Jefferson said our liberty depends on that freedom. But what happens when those who exercise that right use it to manipulate the people rather than simply inform them? And what responsibility do We the People have in the state of corporate news today? We'll discuss that and more on The Constitution Study. Here is the link to the referenced Morgan Freeman Video.

There's a saying for what some in politics are doing today, "The ends justify the means." I prefer a more blunt appraisal, "By hook or by crook." Today, I will look at some of the crooked executive orders President Biden recently signed. Then I'll look at some of the other crooked things coming out of Washington.

After signing the Declaration of Independence, Benjamin Franklin said, "We must all hang together or, assuredly, we shall all hang separately." Sage advice, especially in 21st century America. As we look into the maw of an ever-growing and all power government, we too must hang together, or we shall assuredly hand separately.

What happens when we continue to feed the government at all levels and don't enforce the boundaries we've place around them? Like kudzu in the south, government grows until it overruns everything it can. Today we'll look at several instances of governments going too far and what can be done about it.

There has been a lot of news lately about the reaction to the new election laws in Georgia and Texas. Let's see if we can weed through some of the hyperbole and disinformation, and find a little constitutional truth in all of this mess.
