The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Politicians ignore the supreme law of the land daily and get away with it. Why? Because We the People, are either ignorant of the law or just too lazy to enforce it. I believe this is why John Jay encouraged "Every member of the State ought diligently to read and to study the constitution of his country, and teach the rising generation to be free."

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Everyone from Presidents, pundits, and politicians, to citizens and everyday Americans seems to be looking to the judicial branch to be the guardians of their liberty. I wonder, have any of them considered the cost of placing the security of their liberty into the hands of a few judges?

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Activists from climate, "green," and abortion agendas who cannot convince others to support their agendas use governments at all levels to coerce compliance with their will. Even those who claim to support liberty want to use government to silence their opponents and force private organizations to spread...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – It appears that the only direction society is moving is toward endorsing more and more self-described sexual "rights" at the expense not only of the rights of the majority, but of the destruction of the rule of law. In other words, in the 21st century, it appears you only have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness if it somehow involves sex.

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – How can you tell when a politician is lying? The answer I usually get is some variation of "When their lips are moving!" While this is probably one of the most often used jokes about politicians, what does it say about the American people? Not only do we hire liars to exercise our power in our names, but the...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – We have allowed federal law enforcement to become the jack-booted thugs we see in the news today because we were afraid after Sept. 11, 2001. Today, if you see someone come to your door with an FBI jacket on, realize that it no longer stands for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, but for the...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Most people I talk to say they place a high value on things like freedom, liberty, and their rights, but do our actions match our rhetoric? It's one thing when government pays you for the rights they infringe on, either with cash or services. What about when they simply walk up and take it? Those in government often claim they do it because...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – It appears the American people are proving those words from Santayana. It should not take much to realize that the United States, and in fact much of the world, is repeating the history of 1930s Europe, not to mention Russia in 1917 and China in the 1960s. Yet it seems. We the People, are content to be led back to those dark...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Bill after bill, resolution after resolution that John Quincy Adams submitted failed. His fight for legislation to ban the slave trade was so tenacious that the House passed a rule nicknamed "The John Quincy Adams Gag Rule" in an attempt to silence him, but he never gave up. When asked how he persevered in the face of...

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Most people recognize that the Fourth Amendment protects your privacy. Actually, it is a tool to protect you from unreasonable searches and seizures.
