194 – Force Vaccinations
With all the other restrictions our governments have placed on us during this COVID-19 panic, we should not be surprised that more are coming. It is quite obvious that once a vaccine is approved by the federal government, many of our states and cities will attempt to force their citizens to be vaccinated. During the debate that is sure to happen, many will point to the Supreme Court case Jacobson v. Massachusetts as proof that these governments have the legal authority to enact such laws.

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.

If there are three rules in Washington, D.C., they are: Never get between a politician and a camera. Never let a crisis go to waste. And when in doubt, pass more legislation. The “Justice in Policing Act of 2020” should be called the “George Floyd Federal Power Grab Act of 2020”.

176 – Electoral Imbecility
Two cases before the supreme Court give enough evidence to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that our legal education system is an utter failure when it comes to the supreme law of the land. The arguments are so bad I thought my head was going to explode!
