President Biden has emulated Obama's penchant for ruling by executive order. He's used executive orders to continue with President Obama's war on fossil fuel. He's also abused his executive order power do create vaccine mandates and forgive student loan debt. Only a few things stand between him and Trudeau levels of tyranny, our Supreme Court, our currently GOP held House, and a few red state governors.
SCOTUS
LR Podcast, S3E20: The Constitution and why it matters.
Many countries have borrowed from it, none have improved upon it. Strong as it is, it's only as strong as the Supreme Court Justices charged with following and interpreting it, and only as strong as the Citizens of the US are willing to allow it to be. Hopefully the next 235 years will see it remain as strong, if not stronger, as it is now.
LR Podcast, S3E10: AKA: Democracy
Contrary to what some have said, the Dobbs and West Virginia rulings are victories, not defeats for our democracy and our republic. They put these matters into the hands of the legislatures and the people where they can be debated and voted on. What's that thing called? You know-- where people get a say on how important issues are handled? Oh, yeah, it's called DEMOCRACY.
LR Podcast, S3E9: Independence Day Message, 2022
The Left has pressed and sadly, achieved a level of statism approaching economic fascism, causing supply shortages, rampant inflation, and an energy crisis.

Our Constitution has so far proven as a bulwark from the worst of the Left's progressive polices, even on occasion, rolling back their excesses.
LR Podcast S3E8: Debunking Roe v Wade Myths
The Court back in '73 basically cobbled together a right that was not in the Constitution. Critics of Roe v Wade have long held that the Court made a bad ruling that required a lot of legal and intellectual gymnastics to be decided the way it was.
LR Podcast, S3E3: The leak heard ’round the world
Who leaked the SCOTUS decision likely overturning Roe v. Wade and why?
LR Podcast S3E2: Holes in the Mules?
One of the more ridiculous 'holes' claimed is that people started wearing gloves when they dropped off ballots, not to keep their fingerprints off the ballots or drop boxes, but to keep their hands warm. Do most people you know wear surgical gloves to keep their hands warm?
LR Podcast, S2E40: A global movement
United States, Canada, Czech Republic, Australia, Austria, Belgium, etc. These demonstrations are now global, and common. This has to be the biggest political/human rights movement since the massive anti-communist movements of the early 1990s. Perhaps nothing in Western Civilization today is more hated than vaccine mandates and passports.
Here’s the question we should ask Biden about his replacement for Justice Breyer…
Biden has promised to nominate a black woman. He might want to add one more criterion then; that she be a Constitutionalist.
LR Podcast #33: Fear, the Great Motivator
In this episode, I talk about the recent SCOTUS decision not to hear the case brought by Texas and 17 other states against the four states that decided to change their election law in contravention with the Constitution. Was this a wise decision, or one driven by fear? How fear can make a person reject … Continue reading LR Podcast #33: Fear, the Great Motivator
