Ignorance Of The Law: When A Bee Is A Fish, Everything Is Stupid
Episode #10
In this episode of Legalese, we start a brand no segment I will be doing occasionally moving forward that I am calling "Ignorance Of The Law"...
We discuss a recent ruling out of the California Court of Appeals for the Third District that found under the California Endangered Species Act, 4 species of Bumble Bees now qualify as fish to get endangered species protection status.
This is a great reminder that while ignorance is no excuse for breaking the law, ignorance is an excuse for writing and enforcing the law.

Disarming Gun Control: An Open Letter To Gun Control Advocates (Part Two)
If you have not seen part one yet, you should definitely watch that first to fully appreciate my building off of it in this video: https://youtu.be/uMDHCR8Kt80
Today on Legalese we will be discussing the issue dripping from everyone’s lips across the nation. The balancing act between gun rights and stricter gun control. Gun rights and gun control are not a new topic to this channel, In fact I have assembled a playlist of past videos touching on this subjects quite a few times from quite a few different perspectives (See List Below)
Today’s video will be the second in a two part series looking at the best arguments for current gun control proposals,. Today's episode if focused on exposing and explaining the myths that constituted Joe Biden's response to the recent Uvalde shooting.
In it he makes false claims about so-called "assault weapons", the assault weapon ban, the supposedly evil puppy hating, father raping baby killers that are collectively known as "the gun lobby", makes bogus claims about the frequency of school shootings and of mass shootings in comparison to other countries. and the multi-level deceptive non-argument that any restriction on natural rights and civil liberties are justified if it saves even one single, solitary life.

Disarming Gun Control: An Open Letter To Gun Control Advocates
Today on Legalese we will be discussing the issue dripping from everyone’s lis across the nation. The balancing act between gun rights and stricter gun control. Gun rights and gun control are not a new topic to this channel, In fact I have assembled a playlist of past videos touching on this subjects quite a few times from quite a few different perspectives (See List Below)
Today’s video will be the first in a two part series looking at the best arguments for current gun control proposals, such as expanded background checks, assault weapons bans, Red flag laws, Discussing if it is indeed too easy for people with sinister motives to get their hands on a gun legally and more.
Where this video will differ from past videos is that while my usual position when it comes to all individual rights, namely that I like my civil liberties the same way I likes my women. Strictly enumerated, vigorously protected and absolute… I will instead be adopting a more middle of the road position.
Because this video is a genuine attempt to write an open letter to gun control advocates and meet them halfway. Which is why this video is premised on my uncritically accepting the assumption that: “If a policy for stricter gun control could be shown to have a demonstrable effect on numbers of gun violence and mass shootings, it would be worth curbing gun rights to implement that policy”
I am doing it this way because I believe most gun control advocates are arguing their positions in good faith, under the belief their proposals will reduce future gun violence and I also believe it can be demonstrably shown these arguments are made off a lack of information that means their proposals would be entirely unhelpful and in some cases, they are arguing for policies that are already in practice and vigorously enforced.

The Trial Of Aaron Burr
Today on Legalese we will be talking about that one time Thomas Jefferson acted like a true tyrant and Chief Justice John Marshall acted as a true hero in the cause of individual liberty and due process… This is the trial of Aaron Burr… and if you think you know what crime he was being charged with, your may be surprised.
Now it was today, May 22nd in 1807 that Aaron Burr was charged with high treason and would go on trial for his life. This case was of fundamental significance to questions of governmental power and individual rights in America. The case is known as the United States versus Aaron Burr.
The trial of Aaron Burr turned on the vital question, to what extent can the judicial process and to what extent will it protect an individual who is prosecuted by his own government or putting in more plainly who is supreme, the will of the government or the law?

Stromberg v California [Remaster]
This video is a remastered re-release of a very old episode I did on the case of Stromberg v California (1931)... This video was the very first in my series of "Today In Supreme Court History"...
I noticed this video had started generating a bunch of new views the past few days, and I noticed, like many of my old episodes, the sound quality was absolutely terrible, So this is not a new video, I just did some post-product on work on the original audio track and got it sounding MUCH better than the original episode.
This was a pivotal case because it was the very first time the Supreme Court incorporated the First Amendment protection of free expression on a State, rather than Federal level in 14th amendment jurisprudence based on substantive due process.
Enjoy!

What Is The True Value Of Freedom of Speech?
Today on Legalese we will be looking at the best and worst arguments for a robust, if not absolute protection of Freedom of speech, freedom of expression & freedom of association.
Including an examination about how the censorious left and corporate media who are most eaher to impose censorship are actually advocating for policies that wil destroy the very things they say we need censorship to protect.
We also look at what most free speech absolutists get wrong when they advocate for free speech. Neither group tend to understand its true value.
So what is its true value?

Biden's Ministry Of Truth - Part One
Today On Legalese We discuss Biden's new Ministry of Truth. The Disinformation Governance Board. We are going to take a deep dive into what this Executive Agency is for, why it's being created, who are the people in charge of it and why it is one of the greatest threats to civil liberties since the PATRIOT Act.

Should The FCC Block The Purchase Of Twitter?
Today on Legalese we will be discussing some of the fallout over Elon Musk's purchase purchase of Twitter.
A very powerful NGO and think tank called "The Open Markets Institute" put out a public statement calling on the government to block this sale of Twitter because they are afraid the guy who bought Twitter with the almost singular reason of expanding and protecting freedom of expression somehow poses an existential threat to free expression.
While many of us saw and appreciated his response to the article with a pair of tweets and damning articles about this organization claiming to respect free expression so much they want to make sure they are the only people who may actually exercise that right.
Elon Musk 1st tweet: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1521950798745194496?s=20&t=5kaSiRaNwBonWXSlbk6rtA

What few are aware of is that the FCC issued its own response to the suggestion they have and should use the power to block the sale of Twitter to Elon Musk. Usually the kind of flimsy argument that departments of the administrative usually love to use to justify power grabs.
Instead we got a couple responses that were every bit as biting as Musk's tweets were. Rejecting what they called an illegal, unconstitutional, unamerican government restrictions on free expression.

Supreme Court Opinion Leak: A Court In Crisis
Today on Legalese we will be discussing the consequences of this leaked Supreme Court Opinion in their upcoming case Dobbs v Whole Women's Health of Jackson.
The leaked draft written by Samuel Alito allegedly shows a majority opinion to essentially overturn Roe.
This leak should not necessarily be taken as the Court's final opinion. Drafts of decisions like these often make the rounds among the Justices and they often end up getting changed by the time the actual opinion is given to the public. But there is no doubt that this leak shows a Court dealing with potentially its greatest crisis in the history of the Court.
We also discuss some options about who may be responsible and what some of the likely fallout will be.

Dr. Truth Science Strikes Back
Today on Legalese we discuss the recent district Court ruling that the CDC's mask mandate policy exceeded their constitutional and statutory authority. The Biden administration's failure to seek a stay and the true meaning behind their delay in taking this matter before an appellate court.
We also discuss how the response we have seen to this ruling from the White Hpuse, the CDC and most especially, Dr. Fauci, constitute a complete misunderstanding of Constitutional government and the rule of law and demonstrate an outright contempt for federalism and judicial review.

New Hearing, Same Hypocrisy
Today on Legalese, we are going to be discussing the confirmation hearings for Ketanji Brown Jackson to look at the plethora of reprehensible attacks made against her by Republicans in one of the most petty Borkings of all time.

War In Ukraine - An Interview With Dave DeCamp
Today on Categorical Imperatives I am joined by Dave DeCamp the news editor at antiwar.com
We are discussing the war in Ukraine. What has happened, what will likely come next?
What possible resolutions could bring an end to this conflict and what barriers are being put up by Ukraine and Russia to impede a peaceful resolution.
We also try to discern the motives of major players such as Putin, Bide & Zelinsky.
Also, Dave has some stellar advice on how non-experts in foreign policy like myself and most people can begin to sift through the deafening noise of useless and incorrect information from the political class and corporate media and much more.

Today we discuss why, while the corporate media's smears against Kyle may be reprehensible. But they are not defamatory. How Kyle is being miscounseled and why we probably won't win a dime in court

No Place Like Rome (Part Three)
Today On Categorical Imperatives we complete our exploration of the massive influence the Roman Republic had on our Republic's Constitution and System of government.
In Part 1 we looked at the way this Roman Republican influence manifested in the Founders individually.
In Part 2 we looked at the Enlightenment era rediscovery and reinterpretation of the Ancient Roman Republic and the resulting political philosophy of classical republicanism and we examine the way it influenced different groups of people during the founding and especially those who wrote and ratified the US Constitution.
In this 3rd and final video we look at the ways that the enlightenment era classical republican tradition differed from the Greco-Roman Republics of antiquity and we examine how those Ancient Republics themselves influence the creation of our constitution, and or mixed government. And we explore the origins of the concepts of virtue and liberty as they were understood at the time of the founding, how they are understood today and how they relate to similar, but distinct concepts in the Ancient Roman philosophy of people like Cicero and Tacitus as the concepts of 'Virtus' and 'Libertas'

Today we look at the Enlightenment era rediscovery and reinterpretation of the Ancient Roman Republic and the resulting political philosophy of classical republicanism and we examine the way it influenced different groups of people during the founding and especially those who wrote and ratified the US Constitution and what influence the Roman Republic had on our very system of government embodied in the Constitution

People Are Corporations - An Open Letter To Citizens United Haters
Today On Categorical Imperatives we will be discussing the Supreme Court case every leftist loves to hate: Citizens United v Federal Election Commission (2010)
In my last video I briefed 3 landmark Supreme Court cases dealing with issues of money and speech, including Citizens United. Today I want to go further in exploring this case and it's legacy.
My previous video was part of my “Today in Supreme Court History” Series which means what you got was a purely objective and scholarly explanation of those cases in their background, the facts of the case, the primary holding and the precedent they set.
Today’s video is meant to be an open letter of sorts to people who think citizens united is a case that ruled corporations are people and money is speech.

Does Money Equal Speech?
Today on Categorical Imperatives we have a new video in my "Today In Supreme Court History" series. This weeks marks the 12 year anniversary of the Supreme Court's opinion in the case of Citizen's United v Federal Election Commission. So I have briefed three landmark Supreme Court cases concerning the relationship between money and speech as a matter of law. We will be starting with:
Buckley v Valeo, 424 U.S. 1 (1976) - https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/424/1/
which set the precedent upon which the second case is constructed:
McConnell v F.E.C. 540 U.S. 93 (2003) - https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/540/93/
which is the case Citizens United overturned:
Citizens United v F.E.C. 558 U.S. 310 (2010) - https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/558/310/

"Nyet Means Nyet!" - Dave DeCamp Discusses Growing Tensions With Russia
Episode #79
In this episode I am joined by Dave Decamp, writer and news editor for antiwar.com
With escalating tensions between the United States and Russia over the future of Ukraine it always feels their is vital, but missing, information and context in the official explanations our governments gives and in the way corporate media talks about the subject .
Dave has been following these events and writing about them over the last few months, so I brought him on the show to talk about what is being left out by our government and by the mainstream press in their coverage.
It was a great discussion, and I have no doubt you'll walk away at the end with a much better understanding of what is actually going on.

Electoral College: Questions Answered
Today on Categorical Imperatives I will be responding to some feedback I got from a viewer on a past video about American Constitutional Republicanism. This episode will be the first of three videos covering the topics I am responding to. Today, that topic is the Electoral College and what role it plays in our elections as well as discussing faithless electors, gerrymandering and redistricting and I give my own personal take on what we can do to make Presidential elections matter and put power back in the hands of the people as opposed to the 2 major political parties.
