269 – If Liberty in America Falls

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.

268 – Two Cases About Illegal Arrests

What does a 2020 Georgia Supreme Court case have to do with a 1900 case about a dead officer? Plenty. A report about a case decided by the Supreme Court of the State of Georgia this past December highlights the importance of knowing your rights.

What happens when courts serve neither the law nor justice? Can liberty in America survive when courts attempt to be experts in everything except what they are delegated to do? You may have heard about the California church that recently received an injunction from the Supreme Court against Governor Newsom’s tyrannical restrictions against churches in California. But just as the magician distracts his audience while performing the trick out of sight, this injunction is not a win for liberty in the Golden State, it is a knife in the back to the rights of all Americans .

263 – A Taking, or Not A Taking, that is the Question

A case recently argued before the Supreme Court asks the question, what is a taking under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution? This is not simply a case of eminent domain, but the power of the state to take control of private property. And since this case comes out of California, you shouldn’t be surprised that it is a tangled mess that brought it to the Supreme Court. But the opinion in this case will impact more than just California residents, it could be used as justification for both state and federal governments to deprive you of your property rights and give them to a favored voting block.
