358 – The Sovereign Citizen Movement

Over the past few weeks I’ve been asked several questions about the “Sovereign Citizen Movement”. What is a “sovereign citizen” or a “national citizen”? What do those in the sovereign citizen movement” believe, what is their belief based on, and does the evidence support their assumptions? What are the consequences of following the recommendations from the movement? I thought it was time to not only dive into the facts of this movement, but to bring my findings to everyone here at The Constitution Study.

‘Constitution scholar’ urges ‘do right thing’

With President’s Day Monday, many groups are taking a look at America’s history, acknowledging the good, bad, and ugly of where the country was then and where it is today.  That was the discussion at Monday night’s Bedford County Republican Party meeting, which hosted Paul Engel as their guest speaker.  A self-proclaimed “Constitution scholar,” Engel…

357 – Municipal Theft

We’re all familiar with the fact that our property is taxed. And if you don’t pay your taxes, it’s going to cost you. But how far can a city, town, or any government agency go to collect your taxes?

In 2014, after several personal and business issued, Alan DiPietro purchased some property straddling Stow and Bolton, MA for the purpose of raising alpacas. What ensued was several years of battle between Mr. DiPietro and the town of Bolton over his use of his own land. While what was described in Mr. DiPietro’s law suit was pretty terrible, I want to focus on the foreclosure of the property.

356 – Constitutionality of Cabinet Level Departments

A couple of weeks ago someone claiming to be my “#1 Fan”, at least that’s the name they used, asked an interesting question. “Any chance you could make a YouTube video going through each major executive federal agency or department and discuss which is actually Constitutional under Article 1 Section 8?” That’s a good question, so there’s not only a very good chance I will write the article, but here it is.

355 – Bathroom Wars

We’re always told to live and yet live, but things don’t seem to work out that way. Take, for example, the transgender movement’s insistence that everyone else ignore what is physically true and pander to their psychosis. Such is the situation with the case Adams v. School Board of St. Johns County, FL. Drew Adams is a minor girl pretending to be a boy. Even though the St. Johns County School Board has made accommodations for Ms. Adams delusions, she’s not happy. She wants to use the boys bathroom, rather than the sex neutral bathrooms that were specifically set aside for the very few confused students. She is so insistent, that she, through her mother, sued the school district in federal court. This case has made it all the way to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals.
