The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Seeing is believing, right? Not according to many in the corporate media or politicians. They keep telling us to ignore our “lying eyes” and believe what they say. This is why the first founding principle of The Constitution Study is, “It’s only an opinion unless there’s proof.” So, when multiple “news” outlets claim the riots in LA are just “peaceful protests” or...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Did the people of Newark consent to a mayor who tried to illegally enter an ICE facility? Do the people of Maine consent to their legislators trying to pass a “red flag” law? Do the people of Texas and Tennessee consent to what’s being taught in the taxpayer-funded universities? If the just powers of government are limited to our consent...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – LA Mayor Bass and other officials initially denied the assistance of LAPD, forcing ICE to call on the FBI for assistance.

What does this say about the citizens of LA...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – While the times have been interesting, they are also becoming dangerous, not from some Hitleresque tyrant in the Oval Office, but from those who are afraid of him. Today, the times are not just interesting, but dangerous. The danger isn’t coming from some tyrant in D.C., but from those whose fear of them goes beyond the irrational...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – With everyone focused on what Donald Trump or the federal courts will do next, it’s easy to forget that our states have governments, and what they do can have even more impact on our lives than the Feds. If we are to be constitutionally sound citizens, we need to keep an eye on our state and local governments as much, if not more, than...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Federal government has exceeded its constitutional limits, assuming powers not delegated such as regulating healthcare and influencing elections. Agencies like the FDA and CDC operate beyond original intent, and states rely on federal funds while ceding authority. Recent excessive loans, grants, and continued executive overreach reveal significant moral and financial costs of unchecked...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Our collective ignorance costs not just money but liberties. Unnecessary Texas constitutional amendments, New York’s dispute with federal over road control, and compulsory union fees illustrate how federal overreach infringes individual rights. Powers assumed by Washington exceed consent, robbing citizens of freedoms. Recognizing these hidden costs is crucial to protect liberty and hold...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Donald Trump’s “Swamp” refers to federal bureaucracy, but a deeper “Legal Swamp” entangles Americans daily. Bureaucrats draft quasi-laws, judges enforce them, lawyers exploit them, and legal system insiders pervert justice. This insidious network far exceeds the D.C. Swamp’s reach, subverting law and fairness while impacting lives through unchecked regulatory and judicial power...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – The one thing most Americans don’t consider is who is responsible? Who is supposed to keep the cost of government both reasonable and legal?
