The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – For years, we've heard about election deniers and insurrectionists, yet after 2024, we see blame shifted onto everyone but Kamala Harris for her loss. Bureaucratic fear grows, with retirements, resistance to Trump’s agenda, and calls for Justice Sotomayor's resignation. Replacing the Constitution with deep state control feels less like governance and more like a coup.

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – We live in a time where sore losers—and even sore winners—seem all too common. Overprotection has led to people who can't handle defeat or victory gracefully, from participation trophies to election disputes. The best way to respond? Show them the respect they truly deserve: none. Let's stop enabling this culture of entitlement and denial.

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – If we look at what Donald Trump has pledged to do, I hope we begin to realize that he cannot fulfill much of his agenda alone. He needs Congress to pass the tariffs and tax relief he is proposing. While Mr. Trump will have influence over Congress, remember that under his last administration, many in his own executive agencies worked against his agenda...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Lest we, the American people, exercise our duty to hire representatives in government, men, and women, who will exercise our power in our name. The only reason we can do that is because veterans have for years sacrificed to defend the Constitution of the United States. How many Americans didn’t vote or only voted for the top couple of lines on the ballot?

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – “There ought to be a law!” We’ve all heard that, and there are thousands of laws on the books. But laws against murder haven’t stopped murder; neither have laws against assault, theft, and fraud. So, if laws don’t stop evil, what good are they? Laws define crimes and their punishments, but it is the enforcement of those laws that matters. That goes for statutory laws as...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Remember when presidential elections didn’t heat up until Labor Day and wrapped up on Election Night? Today, it feels like election outcomes drag on, with lingering controversies and challenges. Addressing these issues openly strengthens trust in the process. How can we improve if we’re unwilling to admit mistakes? Learning from past elections is crucial for progress.

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Eighty percent of Americans believe words can hurt, but isn’t that view a bit childish? While politicians react to simple jokes and sarcasm as if they’re physical blows, it reflects our own societal immaturity. We can't expect leaders to grow up until we do. Perhaps it’s time for Americans to put away such childish sensitivities.

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – The love of money fuels political power in America, driving billionaires and unions to spend millions on campaigns. With Congress wielding public funds as influence, many voters accept these "bribes," swaying decisions based on promised gains rather than true leadership. As Tocqueville warned, this cycle raises questions about democracy’s future when money dictates power.

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – First, we have ballot drop boxes being set on fire in the Pacific Northwest, voting machine passwords disclosed in Colorado, and illegal votes being counted in New York, all of which are fodder for those who wish to question the outcome of the election. Add to that a poll showing that a quarter of Americans and half of Gen Zers who appear so afraid of...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Just as good intelligence is important to keep us safe, bad intelligence can lead to disastrous decisions. While we tend to think of intelligence as something done at the national level, We the People collect and use intelligence every day. What can we learn about candidates and elected officials? How can we use that information? Probably most importantly, how accurate is the...
