The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Crime appears to reward bad behavior when enforcement fails. Police actions avoid scrutiny under qualified immunity, repeat offenders face minimal consequences, and fraudsters walk away with fines. Citizens, as sovereign, keep reelecting those responsible. The cycle continues, raising urgent questions about accountability, justice, and whether consequences truly exist in today’s system...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – What happens in the courts does not stay in the courts. We the People most often exercise our right to petition the government for a redress of grievances in the courts. But how often do we check in and see how they are doing? Did you know that the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a case that will...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Read the Constitution, and you’ll see that the states created the federal government, not the other way around. Washington, D.C., has forgotten that critical fact, and so have our states. However, there are still those working within our states to restore them as overseers of the government of the United States. Here in Tennessee, the Volunteer...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – The U.S. Senate is debating the SAVE Act. But half of the act is unconstitutional. Congress can adjust the time, place, and manner of elections, but only for the U.S. House and Senate. The SAVE Act claims to tell the states someone must be a citizen of the US to register to vote, even though each of the fifty states already has that requirement...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – I explore the balance of power among the three branches of the federal government, examining conflicts between executive authority and judicial rulings, questions about enforcing court orders, and how the Constitution shapes disputes when presidential actions and delegated powers face legal challenges in modern governance and constitutional interpretation debates...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – This piece explores the tension between citizens and the government meant to serve them. It questions what happens when public servants overreach, challenge constitutional limits, and pursue conflicting agendas. It also considers the responsibility of the American people to hold leaders accountable and preserve the integrity of a constitutional republic...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Think of how many recent decisions in the District Court were most likely based on an attempt to protect the American people from the so-called evil Donald Trump. How many rights have been trampled in these judges' attempts to protect us from their caricature of the current president? How many government agencies have been created...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Lucy pulls the ball away at the last moment, and Charlie Brown falls flat on his back. I think that’s a great metaphor for the American people. We keep trusting government actors to do the right thing, only to find ourselves flat on our backs, our wallets emptied, and in pain caused by government policies.

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Are you aware that not only have members of Congress settled sexual misconduct allegations with hush money, but that millions of taxpayer dollars were used? If you watch Senate Minority Leader Schumer’s rant about the SAVE Act, could you spot the lies? What about the lie in Maine when they put a convicted mail sexual predator in a women’s prison?

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – We’ve all heard Newton’s Third Law of Motion: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. But what about the rest of life? In life, for every action there is a reaction, a consequence, but they are not always equal or opposite. Cities like Boston and states like California take action to implement high taxes and...
