The Constitution Study
Politics • Education
I started The Constitution Study to help others learn to read and study their Constitution, so they may better know and understand their rights. It is where people can gather online to study together, discuss events, and help each other work to return our nation to the Constitutional Republic is was meant to be.

Fool Me Once, Shame on Me. Fool Me Twice…

We’re all familiar with the story of the boy who cried wolf, the cautionary tale about habitual lying. Since I’m sure all of us learned this lesson when we were children, I’m confused why so many Americans seem to have forgotten it when it comes to politicians and other government actors.

How can you tell when a politician is lying? Most of you probably answered something like, “their lips are moving!” What is the cost of this constant lying to the American people? People talk about the loss of trust in “American Institutions,” from the courts to the military, from Congress to the bureaucrats. Yet it seems few have bothered to count the cost of this constant dependence on lies.

One of my more frequent sayings is, “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice; shame on me. Fool me 10,000 times, and I’m probably an American voter!” The American people have been lied to so blatantly and for so long, yet there are those that still expect us to believe them. What disturbs me more than the expectation of belief, is how often the people fall for it. It seems like government actors are Lucy to Charlie Brown of the American people. Apparently, we never learn that they will yank the truth away from us every time.

In Loco Parentis, Tyrannis!

Who is in charge of your children? That has been a perennial question that has grown in importance over the last few years. When I was a child, it was understood that, with rare exceptions, parents were in charge of a child’s upbringing. This included medical, religious, and educational decisions. However, over the last few decades, the role of the parent in these decisions has been replaced by experts. What happens when the goal of the experts differs from those of the parents? Who decides the future of the rising generations? It was understood that the state acted in loco parentis, in place of the parents, only for the safety of the child. A recent case in U.S. District Court shows that be it health departments, child services, schools, or even the courts. Government not only believes they know better than the parents, they are more than willing to act in loco parentis tyrannis.

385 - Do Artificial Intelligences Have Rights?

With the release of ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence (AI) applications, there has been a lot of speculation and downright assertions about our future. With over 30 years of experience in Information Technology (IT), not more than a passing understanding of AIs, I've come to the conclusion that much of what I've heard is more science fiction than fact. A recent court case decided in the D.C. District Court revolved around one very important question. Do AIs have rights?

The Role of the Federal Courts

In this third installment of the three-part series on the branches of government, we look at the role of the third and weakest branch. At least that is what our Founding Fathers thought of it. What is the role of the federal judiciary? What are the extent of their powers, how do they related to the other two branches of government, and why is a proper understanding of the role of the judiciary critical if the United States is to remain a constitutional republic?

Be careful what you wish for

We all have things we wish for. Maybe a car, a home, or a nice vacation. While those are generally safe wishes, we really should take some time to consider the second and third-order consequences of those wishes. Which leads to the axiom, “Be careful what you wish for, you may just get it.” - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

Correcting errors to political activism

Recent actions by the Trump Department of Justice are a sharp turn from what we’ve seen over the past few years. Are these attempts to correct pervious errors, or are they just more political activism in federal law enforcement? - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

Ames v. Ohio Department of Youth Services

When is discrimination not discrimination? While the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals would have you think that reverse discrimination is not only legal, but OK. However, discrimination is discrimination, even when it’s used in an attempt to right some past wrong.
