Hello, CPOC! Sorry we missed you live, so we decided to record and upload our update, instead. Hope to see you soon!

In this episode, we take you through Jeremy Bentham's reply to the Declaration of Independence. We'll explain why Bentham neither approves of, nor understands, the concept of "rights," why he simultaneously hates kings but thinks you have to do whatever they say, and why his reading comprehension skills are a bit suspect. NOTE: we had some technical issues with the video in the last few minutes of this episode (you'll see what we mean). We apologize for the inconvenience. If you missed it, please check out our video from last Independence Day discussing the Declaration: https://youtu.be/-CT2EG-UhS0

In this episode, we talk all about Jeremy Bentham: Who is he? A weird guy obsessed with round buildings, and also one of the most influential social theorists of the modern era (for the worse, in our opinion). Why should you care about him? Because he fundamentally changed the way people understand politics and law, in a really stupid way. What kinds of things did he do? Write lots of unwanted letters and have his body stuffed so no one would miss him when he died. This is the first part of our three part series on Bentham, so be sure to check back next time for his take on the Declaration of Independence!

Just how much can a trial show us about the way a community functions? Turns out, quite a lot. And just what do we have against Arthur Weasley?! https://www.LexRex.org

In this episode, we bring you up to speed on a couple of important happenings at the Supreme Court, including a retrospective on the COVID-era of emergency powers and the Court's divided response to a key commerce clause case. After that, we give you a glimpse at the always thrilling, never confusing world of legal jurisdiction. Finally, we return once again to Captain Kangaroo Court, where David tests Alexander's knowledge of some of the most, uh, "creative" legal strategies around. 0:03:00 - 𝐴𝑟𝑖𝑧𝑜𝑛𝑎 𝑣.

Election fraud is as old as elections. Alexander Haberbush and LRI are here to say that age-old problems don't mean that voters should give up the fight for secure elections, but that voters should rest assured that these battles have been fought – and won – many times before. If you want to restore trust in your local elections, take heart that you are not fighting this battle alone. We were delighted to speak at the latest meeting of Conservative Patriots of Orange County, a fantastic group of action-oriented & informed citizens.

In this episode, we bring you up to speed on the latest activities of the Lex Rex Institute before diving into 𝘎𝘳𝘰𝘧𝘧 𝘷. 𝘋𝘦𝘑𝘰𝘺, a Title VII religious discrimination case that produced some... interesting... questions from certain Supreme Court justices. We'll explain why religious obligations aren't just a nice bonus you get for being a good person and, for the umpteenth time, explain how stare decisis works and wonder why Justice Elena Kagan seems to struggle with the concept. After that, we'll take a minute to address David's biggest pet peeve in legal interpretation: acting like the Constitution is just another law. Finally, we return to Captain Kangaroo Court to discuss a bankruptcy judge who writes pulp fiction and hear from a Twitter user impersonating the mistress of King Louis XV about why you don't have rights at school. 0:01:45 - Lex Rex updates 0:12:50 - 𝘎𝘳𝘰𝘧𝘧 𝘷.

What does it mean to defraud someone? And who, exactly, has Trump allegedly defrauded? Explore these breathtaking topics with us, the Lex Rex Institute, as we journey down this river of legal issues in the news.

Non-citizens voting should be an easily-resolved constitutional question. Apparently, San Francisco doesn't agree. Earlier this week, Lex Rex's own Alexander Haberbush appeared on NTD News to discuss his work on an ongoing case involving San Francisco's policy of allowing non-citizens to vote in local school board elections.

For anyone who hasn't been watching local California news (gasp), Shasta County has made history as the first county in America to switch FROM a machine-counted election and BACK to hand-counting ballots! Included here is raw footage from the board meeting where the decision took place and LRI election attorney Alexander Haberbush was on hand to answer questions. Other key speakers added their voices to this important conversation. https://www.LexRex.org/

In this episode, we take a look at the 1924 "Lenin Constitution" and the 1936 "Stalin Constitution" of the Soviet Union. We'll discuss why communists love committees, how saying a right is guaranteed isn't enough, and the fact that the Soviet system was openly configured to focus power into the hands of a tiny elite. All this, plus an update on some of our cases and the story of a man who sued his date for the cost of her ticket to a superhero movie.

When it comes to selecting judges, there's a lot of talk about things like political affiliation and personal connections. But what about labor laws? In this video, we explore the question of whether labor laws apply to the nomination of judges. If you'd like to see us answer a burning legal question, let us know in the comments! Damnit Jim, we're lawyers, not mind-readers. https://www.LexRex.org

In this episode, we continue our series on the Russian Revolution and the birth of the Soviet Union, but first we review oral argument in the pair of Supreme Court cases revolving around the Biden administration's plan for student debt relief.

In this episode, we kick off our new series on the Russian Revolution and the rise of the Soviet Union. We'll start by telling you why this story is important for understanding American law, how the Tsars got things wrong, and why a group called "The People's Will" isn't necessarily a good barometer for, well, the people's will.

Welcome to the Season 2 of the Lex Rex Institute Podcast! We're now a video podcast (at least until enough of you complain about having to look at our faces that we switch back to audio-only), and we've got a new upload schedule that we'll tell you all about. In this episode, we bring you the top six (because David wanted a top five and Alexander wanted a top... more than five) developments in the world of American law from 2022. We'd also like to thank everyone for your generosity in our end-of-year matching fundraiser drive, with supporters of LRI contributing more than $20,000! It's thanks to your support that we can continue our efforts to defend the rights of the American public and, more importantly, equip them to defend their rights themselves. 0:05:30 - Crackdowns on COVID-19 "emergency measures" 0:11:00 - Election law in the spotlight 0:21:40 - Conflicts between state and federal policy 0:33:50 - The end of Roe v.

The United States House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack, to use its full name, held its last meeting earlier this week. Congressional committees are meant to discuss possible legislation, but it’s not entirely clear this committee knew that. Let’s find out why together! Of the more than 90 post-election challenges, only fourteen of President Trump's cases were decided on the merits of the case, and not procedural grounds. Of those, only 7 considered the evidence presented. Of those, 5 found in President Trump's favor. That's an over 70% win rate. Very different from the number that's been popularly presented. https://www.LexRex.org Our Article: https://www.lexrex.org/articles/jan-6-committee-grandstand John Eastman’s statement: https://rb.gy/2sj9g2 “Introductory Material to the Final Report” of the Jan 6 Committee: https://int.nyt.com/data/documenttools/jan-6-committee-report-executive-summary/4d449a67cd79e131/full.pdf

In this episode, we are joined again by Alex Bostic to conclude our "Fall of Rome" series while it's technically still fall. This time around, we'll talk about the civil wars between Sulla and Gaius Marius and between Julius Caesar and Pompey the Great. We'll discuss how the use of extra-legal means to restore the rule of law just ends up undermining it anyway, and consider some ways that the American constitution learned from Roman history. After that, it's back to Captain Kangaroo Court, where we'll ask hard hitting questions like "Is being a mean person a good excuse?" and "What is the value of time spent waiting for instant macaroni to thicken?" Finally, we'll let you know our plans for what we're calling "season two" of the podcast, which will be starting up sometime around February. We wish you all a good end to 2022, and we'll see you in the new year! Fall of Rome: the civil wars that ended the Republic (1:55) Captain Kangaroo Court (38:10) Season two announcement (51:00)
