The First Amendment is only 45 words long. But more than 200 years and thousands of court decisions later, we're still arguing over a basic question: what do those words mean — and what did they mean to the early Americans who adopted them? To look through history and debate what originalism can — and can't — tell us about the First Amendment's free speech clause, we are joined by: Jud Campbell, Stanford Law School professor and the author of Natural Rights and the First Amendment and Determining Rights Stephen Solomon, Marjorie Deane Professor of Journalism at New York University, the founding editor of First Amendment Watch, and the author of Revolutionary Dissent: How the Founding Generation Created the Freedom of Speech Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 02:20 Original meaning and modern First Amendment doctrine 09:12 Would the founders recognize our Constitution today? 16:00 The Alien and Sedition Acts 20:21 How the founding generation practiced free speech 24:35 Can we define "originalism"? 32:05 Representative government and the promise of liberty 45:00 The First Amendment's absolute language 51:36 New York Times v.

President Donald Trump is obsessed with the past. Last night, Trump gave a primetime address about his favorite subject: the 2020 election, which he did not win. But as we have just celebrated America's 250th birthday, many of us are thinking a lot about the past – and what our history has to do with the future of our country. Heather Cox Richardson is a history professor at Boston College and the author of the Substack “Letters from an American.” We talked about America's past, what historical moments remind her most of right now, and why – despite everything – she's hopeful about the future.And in headlines, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin gives a White House briefing doubling down on Trump's election claims, the US expands its attacks in what feels like the never-ending war against Iran, and federal officials have identified a source of the outbreak of the diarrhea-causing parasite cyclospora.Show Notes: Check out Heather's work – heathercoxrichardson.substack.com Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please email transcripts@crooked.com

This week on P&L, I'm joined by my long-time friend and trusted CPA, Gil Vollmering, partner at Waters, Vollmering, Beavers and Addams. This episode dives into the current state of the IRS, exploring Gil's unique perspective as a former internal auditor for the agency. We discuss the IRS's struggles with outdated technology, the real reason you should always extend rather than amend your tax return, and the strict privacy measures required when integrating AI into the accounting world. We also tackle the critical importance of keeping your wealth management and tax advisory firms independent to ensure you receive truly objective, conflict-free advice. Tune in this week on P&L to learn the best practices for navigating tax season and why proactive communication with your CPA is your best defense against the IRS. Learn more or contact Gil at gvollmering@wva-cpa.com. "We attribute to the government perfect knowledge. So we assume that the government knows every foible, every fallacy, every thing that's wrong and they don't." - Gil Vollmering This week on Priorities & Lifestyle: Inside the IRS: Outdated systems, processing delays, and inconsistent funding. Amending vs. Extending: Why the IRS views an amended return as a red flag and why an extension is always safer. The AI Revolution in Accounting: How closed-system AI is creating efficiencies without compromising client data. The "Jack-of-all-Trades" Trap: The hidden risks of combined wealth management and tax mega-firms. Strategic Tax Planning: Why filling out your tax organizer is the first step toward proactive, high-level tax strategy. Our Favorite Quotes: "Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered. Let's find the things that we can do that have relatively low risk and move on from there." - Gil Vollmering "The more you talk to us in the middle of the year, as life is going on, the better off we are." - Gil Vollmering "When we take advances in technology, it's to make it easier on the client, not necessarily on us. If it's not making it easier on the client, that's a problem." - Rob Schulz About Rob Schulz and P&L Priorities & LIfestyle Podcast The P&L: Priorities & Lifestyle Podcast is a show for business owners.

The U.S. Constitution likely would not have been ratified in 1788 without Article 5, which allowed for amendment. Many of the original founders championed the idea that the document would need to change as the country changed. As historian Jill Lepore points out in her newest book most of the 27 amendments to the constitution have happened just after times of war or conflict, and after 33 years without an amendment, we may be headed that way again. OPB’s Geoff Norcross speaks to Lepore in front of an audience at the 2025 Portland Book Festival about “We the People: A history of the U.S. Constitution.”
We report on a wave of highly targeted legislative, legal, and medical updates aimed at curbing market disorder and protecting public health.In the United States, Virginia has advanced a budget deal to its governor establishing a definitive July 2027 timeline for adult-use dispensary sales, while Illinois has enacted precise safety guardrails by banning intoxicating hemp sales to minors and enforcing strict child-proof packaging. This regulatory tightening faces immediate constitutional hurdles in the courts, where Ninth Circuit judges are currently deadlocked over whether sweeping state bans on cannabis billboard advertisements violate free speech.Meanwhile, international markets are facing severe enforcement crises; Thailand's Ministry of Public Health has rolled out an aggressive penalty framework targeting rule-breaking dispensaries with immediate license suspensions, and Canada's regulated sector is suffering such severe economic pressure from a deeply entrenched illicit market that a major national cannabis organization was forced to suspend its operations.Underpinning these legislative shifts is an escalating medical concern highlighted by The Epoch Times, which details how high-potency THC stores itself long-term in bodily fat and organs, continuously triggering low-grade, system-wide immune inflammation even after active consumption stops.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

A @Christadelphians Video: [Inspiring] **Ai Summary** – Thought-provoking, insightful, and wonderfully expositional, this outstanding episode of *The Bible Standard* reveals why humility is essential when wrestling with Scripture's most puzzling passages. We, as Christadelphians, explore the strange case of King Saul's age—does the Hebrew really say he was one year old?—and the textual twists behind Lamentations 3: “we are not consumed.” We also dive into the cutting‑edge debate over Greek verbs: do they really tell us *when* something happened, or just *how* the author saw it? This is a wonderfully revealing journey into the “things we still don't know,” reminding us that following God is a process of continual learning, not stagnant certainty.**

Adam Perl is a construction partner at Pinsent Masons and a leading voice in construction law reform. In this episode, Adam unpacks the structural drivers behind Australia’s high infrastructure and construction costs. The conversation explores the industry’s productivity challenges, the consequences of lowest-price tendering, and why Australia’s unit costs are among the highest globally. Adam also examines how extensive amendments to standard contracts contribute to complexity, inefficiency, and disputes. He discusses whether greater contract standardisation could improve productivity and enable better outcomes for public infrastructure investment, alongside the governance and institutional barriers that have slowed reform.

Jack Atherton discusses the complexities of American politics, focusing on the paralysis caused by rigid principles and the challenges of bipartisanship. He draws historical parallels to illustrate the difficulties in amending the Constitution and the implications of social media on political discourse. The conversation emphasizes the need for compromise and the importance of informed voter participation in elections. Takeaways Conservative principles can lead to political paralysis. The U.S. Constitution is a complex framework that requires careful navigation. Amending the Constitution is intentionally difficult to preserve rights. Judicial interpretation can shift with the political landscape. Bipartisanship is increasingly rare in today's political climate. Social media influences public perception and political ideology. Voter participation is crucial for shaping the political landscape. The radical left's agenda poses a threat to constitutional rights. Compromise is essential for effective governance. Political discourse has become more polarized and chaotic. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why is it so hard to change the U.S. Constitution? Harvard historian Jill Lepore says the Constitution was intended to be amended but that we've all but abandoned the practice. That's had profound consequences, leaving us with vestigial antidemocratic provisions like the Electoral College, a malapportioned Senate and life tenure for Supreme Court justices. We talk to Lepore about why amendments are so rare and whether the Constitution can survive without them. Her new book is “We the People.” We also hear from Southern California congressman Pete Aguilar about President Trump's threats to cut “democrat” programs as the government shutdown continues, and how his caucus is responding. Guests: Jill Lepore, professor of American history, Harvard University; staff writer, The New Yorker - her new book is "We the People: A History of the U.S. Constitution" Pete Aguilar, democratic representative for the 33rd Congressional District of California; chair of the U.S. House Democratic Caucus Learn more about your ad choices.

What would it take to update the Constitution and should we try? Sharon is joined by former Wisconsin Senator Russ Feingold to explore this question from his book, The Constitution in Jeopardy. Together, they unpack the tools the framers gave to evolve the founding document, including the never before used, and deeply controversial, Constitutional Convention. Could such a convention be a path to necessary reform, or a backdoor to dismantling democracy itself?

A decade ago, 21 youth plaintiffs in Oregon filed a lawsuit asserting that the government had violated their due process rights of life, liberty, and property by encouraging and permitting the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels such as oil and gas.The plaintiffs were represented by Our Children's Trust, a litigation firm based in Eugene.The case, known as Juliana v. United States, was dismissed by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in 2020 for lack of standing and upheld in February 2021. An amended suit was dismissed by the Ninth Circuit in May 2024 again over lack of standing, and the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the case in March 2025.The proponents are now attempting to put their hydrocarbon paranoia into the Oregon Constitution. On March 26 the state legislature held a hearing on SJR 28, which would add the following language to the Constitution:"All people, including children and future generations, have the fundamental right to a clean, safe and healthy environment."This is just performative politics. Hydrocarbons power the modern world; but if lawmakers think the public wants to return to the 18th century, they should vote to outlaw fossil fuels right now and run for re-election on that record.

It's a first for our podcast! The episode we ran on November 11, 2024 about the U.S.S. Constitution and Constitution Grove in Indiana was so popular, it made its way to the ears to the ears of the Historian for the United States Naval History & Heritage Command Detachment Boston, which is the group that is the authority on the topic! Historian, Margherita M. Desy, spent some time with me to help correct the record! We spoke for 30 minutes and you'll definitely be impressed by the wealth of knowledge exhibited here. I want to get as many things right on this podcast as I can, so I jumped at the opportunity to correct some of the errors from the original episode! To learn more about the U.S.S.
