The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – With all of the mistrust in federal institutions, not to mention the accusations against Supreme Court Justices, some people claim SCOTUS is corrupt and, therefore, untrustworthy. Some people want to get rid of certain Justices, while others want to “pack” the court. Is the court corrupt or pure as the wind-driven show? What about the Justices? Are they “clean” or “dirty”...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – In the Preamble to the Constitution, where the Framers both introduced the document and explained its purpose, the very first goal was to "establish justice." Noah Webster defined justice as "The virtue which consists in giving to everyone what is his due." Today, we are witnessing the collapse of justice, of the rule of law, at the federal level. While our history is replete with examples...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Now look at all of the attempts to sexualize children. Do you really think these do not arise out of the sexual fantasies of the adults involved? From drag queen story hours to the myth of gender-affirming care, our sex-obsessed society has apparently turned much of its attention to our children...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – I hear a lot of people talking about elections. Some claim their vote doesn’t matter, that the elections are rigged. Others claim it is the only way to save the republic. Which one is true? In some ways, both are true. In others, neither. There have always been people trying to rig elections. In fact, in 1944, such attempts to rig a county election actually led to gunfire in the streets of a...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Article III, Section 1 of the Constitution states that “The judicial Power of the United States shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish.” We’re all probably familiar with how the courts work today, but how many of you have considered what this judicial power actually is? Patriots of talk about the deep...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – What is truth? That's basically the same question as what is misinformation. I remember a time when truth and lies were determined by facts. If you could provide facts that prove what you were saying is true, then most people would believe you. Today, however, when the truth contradicts the narrative, it gets labeled misinformation so people can ignore it. But if the truth is...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – The United States of America was designed with a bottom-up power structure. The Constitutions of most of our states say that all power is inherent in the people and that they delegate some of their power to the states. The Constitution of the United States not only created what we now call the federal government, but the Tenth Amendment confirms that the powers delegated...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – While most people are familiar with the Bond movies, the franchise started 70 years ago when Ian Fleming wrote the book Casino Royale and introduced the world to 007. As a young man, I was very interested in these types of spy thriller books and movies. Some of my favorite series are James Bond, Jack Ryan, and Jason Bourne. This was brought to mind after reading an article...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – You'd be wrong if you thought the silly season around recent Supreme Court decisions was over. The fact that people disagree with the court's opinions should surprise no one. However, in today's narcissistic and childish political environment, simply disagreeing and criticizing is not enough. And if you think providing facts and data will calm the masses, I have a bridge to sell...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Each year, the Supreme Court term ends with the month of June. That is when the court usually releases its most important and controversial opinions. It’s also when the court releases the largest number of opinions in the shortest amount of time. You can’t have this vast number of Supreme Court opinions released without dozens of “experts” and pundits often spouting crazy ideas...
