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.

The Kabuki Theatre Union Address

Earlier this past week, the American people and the world were once again subjected to the Kabuki theatre known as the “State of the Union Address.” Yes, Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution states that “[the President] shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient;.”
While the first two presidents did so in a joint session of Congress, Thomas Jefferson started the tradition of simply delivering a letter with the State of the union to Congress. This tradition was followed until, I believe, Woodrow Wilson helped turn this simple constitutional duty into a political circus. Over my lifetime, I watched as the address, which was a political event, has been used to more and more as a political weapon.
Today, I want to give some thoughts on the political speech we call the State of the Union address, but also to the actual State of our Union. And just as the President can commend items of the consideration of Congress, I want to provide some items I think you, the American people, should consider.

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 However, over the last few decades, the role of the parent in these decisions has been replaced by experts.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

Displaying your priorities

We all have priorities. We may prioritize work over family or visa versa. We may prioritize our belief in climate change over our own economic benefit. Or we may just prioritize a political movement over our rights and the rights of others. A quick look at some recent events and I think you’ll agree, some people’s priorities are showing. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

Live by the court, die by the court

America has become an extremely litigious society. Not just because we have more attorney’s than doctors, but because most Americans, including those attorneys, don’t understand the supreme law of the land. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

The shutdown that meowed

With all of the rhetoric about the government “shutdown”, one would reasonably believe that the world is coming to an end because of the arrogance of the political parties. However, for the most part, this shutdown hasn’t roared over the lives of the American people, it’s meowed. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews
