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 Death of Public Liberty

We often talk about freedom of speech and freedom of press, because they are important. But it’s not the speech or press that are truly important, but what they represent, the expression of thought. Which explains why tyrants so often try to squelch the expression of ideas they don’t like. To quote Benjamin Franklin, writing as Silence Dogood:

“Without Freedom of Thought, there can be no such Thing as Wisdom; and no such Thing as publick Liberty, without Freedom of Speech;”

The last thing tyrants want is a wise populous. Which to me explains so much of what we’ve seen going on the last three years or so. The freedom to express yourself has little to no beneficial effect on society unless others are exposed to it. Only when we hear, see, and read ideas that are contrary to our own can we examine our assumptions, learn new ideas, and gain wisdom, which we can use to make our lives and the lives of others better.

With that in mind, let’s look at some examples of the suppression of free expression, learn from the experience, and see if we cannot obtain some wisdom from it. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel

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 However, over the last few decades, the role of the parent in these decisions has been replaced by experts.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

One man's streamlining is another man's destruction

Has the place where you worked ever brought in an “Efficiency Expert”? These people are generally hated by employees, either because they like to meddle in what you’re doing or because they like telling you how to do your job. No place is the idea of efficiency more hated than in government. I guess one man’s streamlining is another man’s racist attempt to deny people work. - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

Universal Injunctions Decided

In the "Rock, Paper, Scissors" of our federal government, who wins? Does a federal court always get what it wants, or are there limitations? While hearing cases on the question of "birthright citizenship", several District Courts claimed the power to rule over the President. I don't remember seeing that in the Constitution. Now, the Supreme Court has weighed in, deciding in the case Trump v. Casa that lower courts are not all powerful after all.

The full cost of government

The talking points around Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” seem to talk about tax cuts. Then there’s the new recision bill. Is money the only cots of government? What about the costs to our rights, our liberty, and our morals? - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews
