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.

Sounding like Dr. Frankenstein, the House of Representatives is crying “It’s alive!”, when it’s actually dead.

257 – Ignorance is Not Bliss
I recently saw the body cam video of a Galveston, TX police officer arresting a woman for not wearing a mask in a local bank. While many seem to be appalled by the actions of the officer, I see this as an excellent example of how ignorance of our rights has led to the situation this woman was in.

255 – Is the Fox guarding the Henhouse?
It seems we too frequently forget that the courts are part of our government. Several groups petitioned the government, in the form of the federal courts, for a redress of the grievances that state actors other than their legislatures changed the manner of holding elections. When the supreme Court denied to hear these cases, it…
