193 – What Happened to Marriage in America?

Marriage in America has gone from a sacred institution to a political football. How did this happen? Lets review a case out of the Northern District of Ohio for some clues.

192 – Calvary Chapel v. Nevada – What Really Happened

I was asked to write an article about the case involving a Nevada church and the order of the Nevada Governor limiting the size of their worship services. As frequently happens, a little research showed that most of the reports bear little resemblance to what actually happened.
