It seems most Americans believe in rights and liberty, that is, until they don’t get their way. Have you ever considered what right you have to impose your will on others? That is the issue in a complaint against Yeshiva University in New York City. Can the City and State of New York force this Jewish university to violate its core beliefs by officially recognizing and supporting a student group whose stated purpose is to change the religious nature of the university?
When does protecting one person’s rights involve infringing on the rights of another? And when is it OK to do so? These are perennial questions in America, ones that have garnered a lot of attention and several Supreme Court cases over the last decade or so. Today, I want to look at another example, one that is still making its way through the courts. The case of Yeshiva University v YU Pride Alliance questions whether or not New York City’s Human Rights Law can be used to override the Freedom of Religion of a religious school, those who own and operate it, and even the students who attend it.

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 However, over the last few decades, the role of the parent in these decisions has been replaced by experts.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.

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?
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?

After World War II, as the worlds only true super power, the United States took on the role of protecting the rest of the free world. Some agree with this doctrine, others oppose it, but this weekend’s raid and capture of Nicholas Maduro seems to point to Trump’s position on it. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

Since I refer to those who work in government, especially our elected representatives, as our employees, I think it’s a good idea to judge their work from time to time. How we judge their work is as important as the fact that we’re judging them in the first place. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

We live in a world of contradictions. We call ourselves the land of the free, but subject ourselves to government actors who frequently claim tyrannical powers over us. So I ask you, who really is in charge? - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews
