Podcasts about constitutional amendments

A growing bipartisan movement wants to amend the U.S. Constitution to take back control of the amount of money in American politics. In this episode, Mosheh sits down with Jeff Clements, CEO of ⁠American Promise⁠, to unpack how Supreme Court decisions like Buckley v. Valeo and Citizens United transformed campaign finance, helping usher in an era of $20 billion election cycles, super PACs, and dark money. They explore why the U.S. has become such an outlier among democracies when it comes to campaign spending, why Congress has repeatedly failed to change the system, and how the courts—not lawmakers—have largely dictated the rules for the past 50 years. Clements explains why his organization is pursuing a constitutional amendment instead of another campaign finance law, how 25 states have already backed the effort, and why he believes the movement is gaining momentum. They also debate whether money should be considered protected speech under the First Amendment—and what could change if Americans, rather than the courts, once again had the power to set the rules governing money in elections. Mosheh Oinounou (⁠⁠@mosheh⁠⁠) is an Emmy and Murrow award-winning journalist. He has 20 years of experience at networks including Fox News, Bloomberg Television and CBS News, where he was the executive producer of the CBS Evening News and launched the network's 24 hour news channel. He founded the @mosheh Instagram news account in 2020 and the Mo News podcast and newsletter in 2022.

Guest Josh Hammer, David Horowitz Freedom Center, joins to discuss how Congress may tackle the birthright citizenship issue. Discussion of 14th Amendment, a new Constitutional Amendment, and legal ways the Trump team can deal with "birth tourism". Discussion of latest in Iran and dealing with the radical regime.  US Senator Lindsey Graham passes over the weekend unexpectedly. What now? New conversation about SAVE America Act, votes in the Senate, the new makeup of Graham's seat, and the MIA Mitch McConnell. 

Missourians will decide the fate of Amendment 4, which requires constitutional amendments put on the ballot through the initiative petition process to pass in eight out of eight congressional districts. We hear from both sides of the debate on the latest episode of the Politically Speaking Hour on St. Louis on the Air. Missouri Farm Bureau President Garrett Hawkins argues the pro side of Amendment 4, while Missourians for Fair Taxation's Scott Charton explains why it should fail.

Rep. Matt MacPherson sits down with Rep. Anthony Loubet to discuss Utah's judicial reforms, constitutional amendments on the ballot this fall, and the work lawmakers are doing during interim.They discuss recent investments in Utah's courts, including additional judges, clerks, judicial assistants and expanded public access to court records. The conversation also explores how lawmakers are working to support judicial independence while improving transparency, accountability and public trust in the court system.The episode also breaks down proposed constitutional amendments related to tax increases through ballot initiatives and public notice requirements, as well as why interim meetings give lawmakers and the public more time to study, debate and refine major policy issues before the next legislative session.

The US Constitution is more than two centuries old. For most of that time, its purpose has been to maintain representative government and the peaceful transfer of power. That's started to break down in recent years. Politicians try to win elections by gerrymandering voters, rather than convincing them. More and more power has been consolidated in the executive branch, bypassing traditional checks and balances. Melissa Murray joins host Alex Lovit to talk about the Supreme Court's role in this democratic decline and how the Constitution can be a roadmap to reverse it. Melissa Murray is the Frederick I. and Grace Stokes Professor of Law and the faculty director of the Birnbaum Women's Leadership Center at New York University. She cohosts the popular Supreme Court podcast, Strict Scrutiny. She has written several books, most recently The U.S. Constitution: A Comprehensive and Annotated Guide for the Modern Reader. https://crooked.com/podcast-series/strict-scrutiny/ https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-U-S-Constitution/Melissa-Murray/9781668221938 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

UW-La Crosse political science professor, Dr. Anthony Chergosky, in studio to help weave a discussion about the La Crosse pool poll, the Democratic convention governor straw poll and the Packers fighting with one Wisconsin US House member. We did start the show, though, talking quick about not being a sports fan but being excited about something like the World Cup — plus the Loggers having Catbirds throwback night. The poll conversation stems partly from the results from a survey of La Crosse residents about building a new indoor aquatics center, where about 52 percent were in favor — with 14% of those asked responding. Another aspect came from a straw poll last weekend at the Wisconsin Democratic Party convention that had Mandela Barnes sixth out of seven governor candidates. We break down how these polls could be written and conducted — perhaps to gain favorability for a specific outcome — and how much stock we should take in the results. We also discuss how some polls — like the pool survey — might be sent out partly to inform people a thing is happening that they didn’t know about — and therefore the wording of those questions comes back into play. We also look at how Wisconsin Republicans put Constitutional Amendments on the ballot that are often seen as confusing and steering the voting population into getting the results the GOP wants. Lastly, we talked about the Packers pushing back against how US House Rep. Scott Fitzgerald (R-Clyman) is looking into the Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961, and this idea that TV deals have isolated Packers fans who need to subscribe to networks to watch certain games. Or — throwing this conspiracy at Chergosky — is this a deep political ploy to prop up fellow GOP US House Reps. Derrick Van Orden (R-Prairie du Chien) and Bryan Steil (R-Janesville), who have sided with the Packers saying what Fitzgerald is doing would hurt the team.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

DESCRIPTION:   Capitol police officer Shauni Kerkhoff has sued Glenn Beck's outfit The Blaze for defamation after they said she "kinda walked like a criminal" – and she's brought out the big guns. The Trump administration funneled another $1.25 million in taxpayer dollars to campaign stooge Carter Page. The Fifth Circuit hit us with another terrible decision, this one permitting states to force public schools to display the Ten Commandments. We wrote about it on the blog, and it's even worse than you imagine. And   And   In the main show, we have an extended interview with electoral maps expert Joe Dye over the Virginia Constitutional Amendment that passed on Tuesday and will replace Virginia's existing Congressional districts (that are 6 Democratic and 5 Republican) with a new map that is 10-1 Democratic. For now, a Republican judge in Tazewell County has enjoined the amendment.   SUBSCRIBER BONUS:   We discuss the Trump administration's bogus indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center. Kerkhoff v.

Jeff visits with Attorney Time Anderson for a discussion about the Constitutional Amendments.

In this special episode, recorded at the Neukom Center's Rule of Law Speaker Series, Judge J. Michael Luttig, former Fourth Circuit judge and ex-General Counsel of Boeing,  discusses a looming constitutional crises facing the United States. Drawing on Lincoln, Paine, and Churchill, Judge Luttig argues that the Trump administration's actions represent not the exploitation of constitutional vulnerabilities, but unconstitutional conduct that federal courts have repeatedly struck down. He expresses particular alarm over the Supreme Court's use of the shadow docket to stay lower court decisions without briefing, argument, or written reasoning — a practice he characterizes as a crisis within the Court itself. Judge Luttig also addresses the DOJ's institutional corruption, Congress's abdication of war powers and tariff authority, and the Supreme Court's sweeping immunity ruling in Trump v. United States. Throughout, he challenges law students to treat their professional oath as a solemn civic obligation in a moment of national testing. Links: Honorable J.

This episode is presented by Create A Video – Andrew Dunn is the publisher of Longleaf Politics and a contributing columnist to The Charlotte Observer. He joined me to discuss five of the proposals from the North Carolina legislature to make changes to the state constitution. Two proposals have already been approved to go to voters this November. Three others are making their way through the General Assembly. Plus, Charlotte's rejection of a plan to widen I-77 likely means no congestion relief for another decade or two.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-pete-kaliner-show--6946691/support.Subscribe to the podcast My preferred podcast platform: SpreakerAll the links to Pete's Prep are free!Get exclusive content here!Media Bias Check: GroundNews promo code!Advertising and Booking inquiries: Pete@ThePeteKalinerShow.com  

We examine the constitutional amendment proposals in North Carolina and discuss if they could boost voter participation at the polls. We'll also get an update from South Carolina on how their redistricting plan has panned out.

Republican state legislative leaders made headlines in recent days by announcing that they have finally reached agreement on a new state budget. But even as that long overdue news was being made, the lawmakers also moved to advance a series of state constitutional amendments that would, if enacted, have massive implications for future state budgets and core public services. Topping the list: a proposal to slash the already existing cap on state income taxes and another to cap local property taxes — moves that would almost certainly further eviscerate the state's already torn and threadbare public education system. Earlier this week, to get a better handle on the amendments and the new budget and what all of it means for the state going forward, Newsline caught up with one of the state's preeminent nonpartisan fiscal policy experts – the executive director of the North Carolina Budget & Tax Center, Alexandra Sirota.

On today's Rokcast, Robby hosts Dan Gates of Coloradans for Responsible Wildlife Management (C.R.W.M.) Dan is a frequent guest on the Rokcast because we believe he's not only fighting for the Right to Hunt & Fish in Colorado, but in all of North America.  C.R.W.M. and it's supporters were crucial in defeating Colorado Ballot Proposition 127 back in 2024. The fight continues with protecting Colorado hunters by making sure that the Constitutional Amendment for the Right to Hunt & Fish in Colorado passes.  By passing this proposed Amendment in November of 2026, hunters are shoring up the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation as the best way to scientifically manage all wildlife on the continent. It's a quick listen and Dan explains the ways hunters--both resident and non-resident--can help get the Right to Hunt & Fish codified into Colorado's constitution. This includes the chance to hunt the famed Hill Ranch for bull elk this fall.  This license takes over 30 points to draw in the Ranching for Wildlife program and is only reserved for residents.  But with this Landowner tag opportunity offered up by the Hill Ranch, even a non-resident can participate.  Find more information or purchase tickets here This opportunity is made possible by Safari Club International Colorado Chapter here https://raffles.scicolorado.org/ the Hill Ranch here https://hillhunting.com/book-a-hunt and C.R.W.M. here

This episode is presented by Create A Video – North Carolina legislative leaders are proposing four constitutional amendments, enshrining a right to farming and ofrestry, a right to work, a 3.5% cap on the income tax, and a cap on property tax increases. Plus, the State Bureau of Investigation and the NC Dept. of Transportation want to put cameras at every point of entry into the Tar Heel state. But some local governments are rejecting the idea.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-pete-kaliner-show--6946691/support.Subscribe to the podcast My preferred podcast platform: SpreakerAll the links to Pete's Prep are free!Get exclusive content here!Media Bias Check: GroundNews promo code!Advertising and Booking inquiries: Pete@ThePeteKalinerShow.com

SEASON 4 EPISODE 83: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (3:00) SPECIAL COMMENT: Trump has given away his labyrinthine plot to stay in office past 2028 in one social media post and he’s just crazy enough to think it will work. It is in his rant claiming the indictment of a political opponent means "The 2020 Presidential Election Should Be Permanently Wiped From The Books And Be Of No Further Force or Effect…” He is not going to try a new Constitutional Amendment or say the limit is two CONSECUTIVE terms. He's not going another coup (at least not initially). He is going to try to nullify the 2020 Election - and hold that vote again. ANOTHER 2020 Election. In 2028. If you think that's too crazy easy for him - is it crazier than Trump insisting yesterday that we are in a war against UKRAINE? Crazier than indicting the former FBI Director on a threat to kill Trump with a seashell meme? Crazier than trying to get a comedian fired for a joke about Trump’s death and his wife when TRUMP then goes out and makes a joke about his death and his wife and all America is talking about is the dreaded D-word? Crazier than indicting a man for trying to shoot him at the Correspondents’ Dinner when it is now unmistakably clear that the suspect never fired a shot and was never on the same floor as Trump was? Crazier than Trump's insistence that we should pay for this damn ballroom because it'll protect presidents? What - are they sealing themselves in like Saddam Hussein in his Hidey Hole? And then I'll detail Trump’s bid to MATA: Make America 2020 Again. B-Block (36:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Two competing Bari Weiss entries because while nobody's watching her version of the CBS Evening News, everybody seems to have seen her prized reporter Olivia Reingold making a fool of herself on video from the Correspondents' Dinner. And speaking of that, Stephen A. Smith came out of that experience knowing who is to blame for all America's problems: those evil liberals! Whose presidential nomination he expects to win. ESPN has a choice: platform a political idiot and Conservative tool and destroy your franchise, or get rid of him and keep it.

Unlike many others, North Carolina is not a “ballot initiative” state in which citizens can place constitutional amendments on the ballot by gathering enough signatures. Here, the power to advance constitutional amendments resides exclusively with the state legislature and right now, Republican lawmakers are proposing to do just that this fall with a proposal to limit the ability of local governments to set their property tax rates. Like all tax cut proposals, this one is being couched as a boon to taxpayers that would help address the rising cost of living, but as we were reminded in a conversation this past week with University of North Carolina professor of law Marcus Gadson, it's also the case that local taxes play a critical role in funding core public services that all residents depend on. What's more, as Gadson also noted, at this point, the amendment proposal being advanced is very short on the kinds of specifics that would enable voters to make an informed decision.

Senate Homeland Security Committee chair Rand Paul (R-KY) accuses Homeland Security Secretary, Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK), of having  'anger issues' and says he will oppose the nomination. Sen. Mullin also testifies about immigration enforcement, striking, as several news outlets put it, a 'milder tone' than his predecessor Kristi Noem on issues such as immigration enforcement. The hearing comes as the Homeland Security Department is still shut down over party disagreements over how to reform Immigration & Customs Enforcement or ICE. We will talk about the latest negotiations with USA Today Congressional Reporter Zach Shermele (17); Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is asked about President Donald Trump's assessment that Iran posed an imminent threat to the U.S., justifying the war, as she testifies before the Senate Intelligence Committee; Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell announces the Fed will leave interest rates unchanged for a second straight meeting, and says the Iran war's effects on energy prices and inflation is currently uncertain; House votes on a proposed Constitutional Amendment to require a balanced federal budget; Lt.

Former Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli said a recent state court ruling blocking Democrats' attempt to advance a redistricting constitutional amendment is firmly rooted in Virginia law and could ultimately be upheld on appeal. Speaking with The Daily Signal's Joe Thomas, Cuccinelli said the judge found the amendment process violated state law on three independent grounds, including notice requirements, election timing, and limits on special legislative sessions. This ruling is “no slam dunk,” however, says Cuccinelli, Virginia's former attorney general and current national chairman of the Election Transparency Initiative. “It is not common for a judge to go beyond ruling on one reason to reach an outcome, but the judge, I presume, knows that this is on a tight time schedule. And, in his mind, presumably, there wasn't time to go up to the Supreme Court and come back down… so he ruled on everything in front of him. So now it goes to the Virginia Supreme Court, and this is no slam dunk.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Hundreds of proposed amendments to the United States Constitution are introduced during each session of the United States Congress. From 1789 through January 3, 2025, approximately 11,985 measures have been proposed to amend the United States Constitution.[1] Collectively, members of the House and Senate typically propose around 200 amendments during each two-year term of Congress.[2] Most, however, never get out of the Congressional committees in which they were proposed. Only a fraction of those actually receive enough support to win Congressional approval to go through the constitutional ratification process. Some proposed amendments are introduced over and over again in different sessions of Congress. It is also common for a number of identical resolutions to be offered on issues that have widespread public and congressional support

The saying about Virginia is “There's an election every year.” In 2026, the Commonwealth is looking at two. A special election in early spring to overturn the Constitutional Amendment regarding redistricting and then the mid-term Congressional elections, regardless of what the districts look like, in November. Amid all that, internal accusations are tearing up the pages of Conservative social media and Substack accounts saying that the statewide losses in 2025 need to be addressed with leadership changes at the Republican Party of Virginia. We sit down with the Chairman of the Party, State Senator Mark Peake to go over it all.

Why is Speaker of the Virginia House Don Scott trying to call a special session of the Virginia General Assembly? The story is that they are going to try and redistrict the Commonwealth's 11 Congressional districts. Small problem, that Constitutional Amendment that was passed in 2020 establishing first a ‘bipartisan redistricting commission' and in the event of that failing (which it did) turning redistricting over to the Virginia Supreme Court to name two special masters that would draw the districts. Virginia Delegate Tom Garret sits down with us to tell us what the long and short term agenda appears to be.
