Was “Woke 1” crazy, or is the whole idea just nuts?
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Was it that Woke 1.0 that was crazy, or anything woke? Like the idea of open borders, now that people have been charged with selling fake marriages so their customers could get green cards? What about all the things we were told were “fake news” that have turned out to be true?

Trust, but verify: The man behind the curtain
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – How often has someone told you to just trust them? And how often did that turn out to be a scam? Just like the line from The Wizard of Oz, every time a politician asks me to ignore what I’ve seen and just trust them, I think “Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!” That’s a good way to lose more than your money; it’s a great way to lose your rights.

State of religious freedom
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Religious freedom remains a vital safeguard for believers and nonbelievers alike.

The hidden ‘costly tax’ of government regulation
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – When you think of the cost of regulation, what comes to mind? Maybe a fee or fine you have to pay? Maybe an additional cost for the items you buy. But what if the cost of regulation is much, much higher? Trump created the Department of Governmental Efficiency (DOGE) to cut government waste. Then why has the national debt increased...

Train up a child in the US education system and watch socialism grow
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Think about it: 90% of American children, at around the age of five, are handed over to a government program run by those who avow and promote socialism, and then we’re shocked when they vote for socialists. If you’ve only been shown the benefits of a system, and none of its costs, why wouldn’t you support it? So why are we surprised when...

Russia, Russia, Russia
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Political narratives often survive because they confirm existing beliefs rather than withstand scrutiny. From accusations surrounding Donald Trump and Russia to claims against Energy Secretary Christopher Wright, questions emerge about whether officials, lawmakers, and citizens truly seek evidence or simply reinforce comfortable political assumptions instead...

When We The People get strung out on government controls
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – While the difference between socialism and communism is who owns the business, both models involve government controlling pretty much everything. But what does a nation look like when government runs everything? How often have we seen some socialist group use violence to get their way? Claiming they need to ignore the...

Americans’ role in the surveillance state
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Americans increasingly confront a growing surveillance state, yet public demands for safety help fuel its expansion. License plate readers, privacy concerns, gun-control laws, and reliance on police raise questions about limited government, personal responsibility, self-defense, and the tradeoffs citizens accept in exchange for greater security...

If you have nothing to hide, what’s the big deal?
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Like the Texas legislation that requires insurance companies that cover gender transition also cover rehabilitation for those who detransition. What about the woman who stood up to the University of Michigan Health-West when they demanded that she use a person’s “preferred pronouns” and provide referrals for so-called gender...

Navigating history with a broken compass
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Have you ever tried to navigate without a compass, or with a compass that’s broken? If you cannot navigate the world around you without a functioning compass, how can you navigate society when the compass of history has been manipulated? The Democratic Socialists of America not only have a twisted view of our history...

Who was really in contempt: Dr. Fauci or Congress?
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – The Senate Homeland Security Committee invited Fauci to testify, and he refused. Then the committee issued an illegal subpoena, demanding that he testify before the hearing, even though that subpoena violated the Fourth and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. Then, when Dr. Fauci invoked his right against self-incrimination, not only...

Government grocery stores to license plate readers: Where is our consent?
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Where did the People of New York consent to the City of New York running grocery stores with discount prices? Because I don’t believe either the Constitution of the State of New York or the Charter for the City delegates such a power to the city. Meanwhile, Tennessee is looking at legislation to regulate Flock and other Automatic...

Attacks on free speech
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Free speech exposes ideas, challenges beliefs, and reveals character, which is why governments, media outlets, and cultural institutions increasingly seek to control it. From Canada’s hate-speech laws to American prosecutions and public attacks, censorship threatens open debate, accountability, and the public’s right to question authority...

Subsidizing our own decline!
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – If you want more of something, subsidize it. That’s how things work, right? Then why do the American people incent the very things they claim not to want? These abuses of power are leading us to the very tyrannical dystopia the Democratic Socialists of America are openly promoting for our future. Is that what you want this country to look like?

The rule of law—or the rule of party?
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Remember that SAVE America Act? A lot of people have been promoting it for the “good” it will do for the country. Sadly, no one I’ve heard opposing it has mentioned that it violates the Constitution. In fact, Senator Schumer appears to have admitted that this would prevent 25 million people from illegally voting. That hasn’t stopped...

Constitutional questions behind the headlines

The right to be wrong: When states go off the rails
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – I’ve often said that people have the right to be stupid. If we think about it, States also have a right to be stupid, unless their citizens force them to change. After announcing that their state erroneously registered 6,600 non-citizens to vote, New Jersey Governor claimed that Donald Trump’s claims of thousands of non-citizens being registered to...

When ‘Equal Protection’ depends on who you are
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – We all want to be treated justly, to have the laws equally applied. Well, not all of us, because there are some who seem to think they are more equal than others. While the Constitution does include an Equal Protection Clause, it's only in the Fourteenth Amendment and only applies to the states. The idea of equal protection, though, runs...

The fatal flaw of socialism
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Milton Friedman pointed this out decades ago. For socialism to work, for any centrally planned government, economy, or society to work, it requires the use of force. Even simple things like promises of free healthcare, housing, food, and bus rides require the government to take the money from someone else by force. Which leads to...

All the news that’s fit to line a bird-cage!
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – The New York Times used to advertise itself as “All the news that’s fit to print.” Sadly, it seems more like the Soviet Union propaganda rag called “Pravda” or “Truth.” At least two TV networks failed to cover Trump’s recent speech. Now, there’s nothing illegal about these private entities deciding not to cover a presidential speech, but were they...
