U.S. Representative Tim Burchett has introduced a bill to limit the number of terms members of Congress can serve. I’ve talked before about term limits, but this seems to be a good opportunity to look at the details both to the legislation and the idea of term-limits.

One concept that I often see people express is that the United States is now a private corporation. Those who make these claims often cite The District of Columbia Act of 1871 as proof. This “fact” is then used to support various positions or explain why or how certain acts of government take place. So let’s look at The District of Columbia Act of 1871 and the Constitution of the United States to see for ourselves if we are no longer citizens of a union, but subjects of a corporation.

With the recent "approval" of the Pfizer vaccine for 5-11 year olds, many are wondering when the "recommendation" to vaccinate will become a mandate. Do governments have the legal authority to intervene in family decision? If so, under what conditions? One opinion comes from a case out of the Second Circuit in the 1970s. Understanding the limits of the coercive power of government over families will be important if we wish to remain free.

This week I’m taking questions from my Knowing Your Rights tour event in New Port Richie, FL.

By now, you've probably heard of Jen Psaki's response to a question about Texas standing up to Biden's threatened vaccine mandate. She stated that federal law trumps state law. I guess it's true that the best lie should contain a bit of truth. Today, let's answer the question of whether federal law always trumps state law. Let's do so by looking at the original documents, so we can answer this question not only when it comes to vaccine mandates, but all of the acts coming out of Washington, D.C.

I usually cover cases involving the Constitution of the United States. Today however, I am looking at a case our of the State of Illinois involving that state's constitution and the question of county gun and ammo taxes. While the appellant's complaint argues that these taxes violate the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the Illinois Supreme Court focused on similar language in the state's constitution. While Cook County gun owners may be happy with the outcome, as a constitutional scholar I find the majority opinion woefully lacking.

When you hear a lie so often that you think it's the truth, we say you've been "gaslighted". That is just as true for government as any other part of your life. From early in the 20th century, Congress has been telling the American people the lie that they limited the number of members in the House of Representatives by law. That law is invalid and void. Yet the American people sit back and allow their employees in Congress to violate the law, and do so with blatant disregard for the supreme law of the land and their oath or affirmation to support it. We act like the people in the Hans Christian Anderson tale, "The Emperor's New Clothes". We nod our heads and go along with what we've been told our entire lives, that the House of Representatives legally has 435 members. I'm here to play the role of the small boy in the story and cry out "The Emperor has no clothes." Specifically, that the House of Representatives has denied you the proper representation you are entitled to in Congress, and it's about time we do something about it.

You bring the questions, I’ll bring the answers.
