We've heard it before: Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. But what did the Founders mean by “the pursuit of happiness,” and how do virtue and moral philosophy shape our understanding of this unalienable right? Sharon is joined by Jeffrey Rosen, President and CEO of the National Constitution Center, to explore these questions, as well as to dive deeper into the history and meaning of the pursuit of life-long virtue. Learn how six of the Framers and Founders – flaws and all – embody different virtues, and consider the importance of electing leaders who will be virtuous and uphold the principles of Democracy.

American Democracy in Crisis: The Case for Rethinking Madisonian Government Post January 6 (Palgrave Macmillan, 2024) analyzes the roots of widespread disenchantment with American government. While blame often falls on the individuals in office, they are not operating in isolation. Rather they are working within a system designed by the Framers with one goal in mind, protectionism. Although the Framers got much right, their commitment to protection of liberty led them to design a system replete with divisions of power. Whatever its merits at the founding, the government today is frequently described as dysfunctional and far too often unresponsive to the majority, unaccountable, and unable to deliver for its people.  For those disillusioned with the current state of government and committed to effectuating meaningful change, this book advocates in favor of a fundamental reassessment of the system's primary objectives, followed by deliberation as to how it should be restructured accordingly. It not only presents specific reform proposals, but it ends with a stark warning: until and unless we embrace reasoned structural reform, we cannot be surprised if at some point the people become so frustrated that they either disengage, fight back, or seek solace in autocratic alternatives.  Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of Consider the Constitution, host Dr. Katie Crawford-Lackey welcomes back Kendra Johnson, assistant Public Defender in Fairfax, Virginia, to explore the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments. Johnson explains how these amendments form the backbone of criminal procedure in America and protect citizens from government overreach.The discussion begins with an overview of each amendment: the Fourth Amendment protecting against unreasonable searches and seizures, the Fifth Amendment covering rights such as protection against self-incrimination and double jeopardy, and the Sixth Amendment ensuring the right to a speedy trial, impartial jury, and legal counsel. Johnson shares insights into the historical context of these amendments, explaining how the Framers developed these protections in response to abuses they had witnessed under British rule.The conversation highlights landmark Supreme Court cases that have shaped these rights over time, including Katz v. United States, which established the "reasonable expectation of privacy" standard; Miranda v. Arizona, which created the famous "Miranda warnings"; and Gideon v. Wainwright, which guaranteed the right to an attorney even for those who cannot afford one.The episode concludes with a discussion of emerging challenges to these constitutional protections in the digital age, including questions about surveillance technology, online trials, and artificial intelligence in the criminal justice system. Johnson emphasizes that these amendments are vital not just for those accused of crimes but for all citizens, as they establish boundaries on government power that protect everyone's liberty regardless of who holds political office.

In our Constitution, the framers established three independent branches of government, creating checks and balances to keep any one branch from becoming too powerful. Governors Bredesen and Haslam are joined by Harvard professor Cass Sunstein and Vanderbilt professor David Lewis to explore the history and interaction between the branches and whether the Framers' vision holds up in current practice.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, the passing of Pope Francis is deeply saddening for Catholics and non-Catholics, following his recent meeting with J.D. Vance and Easter ceremonies. The papacy holds immense significance, with Pope John Paul II widely revered as an influential modern leader and freedom fighter who played a key role in the Soviet Union's downfall. Afterward, we could be on the precipice of Iran developing a nuclear warhead with an ICMB aimed at America if things don't turn out right in the Iranian negotiations. If there is to be some kind of deal it would have to ensure that inspectors from the U.S., or the E.U actually get to inspect anywhere at any time but it's doubtful Iran would permit that.  President Obama led Iran's path to a nuke, President Biden helped fund and protect Iran, and it will be left to President Trump to say that's enough.  We are looking terrorists in the eye who are threatening tens of millions of us with death as they are developing nuclear weapons and are within weeks of succeeding. Is there any generation of Americans before us that would not have dealt a deadly blow to such an enemy before they could destroy us?  Will we be the first?  It's not as if this is the imagination of the "warmongers" run amok. And how insane are those who demand that we essentially ignore this threat or appease it in some fashion?   Later, the media's fixation on Abrego Garcia is sickening. He received due process before an immigration law judge and a board, was ordered deported, but evaded authorities. The Democrats' support for Garcia reveals their hypocrisy. Their latest cause célèbre is an MS-13-affiliated domestic abuser who was already granted due process. Also, Justice Samuel Alito, joined by Justice Clarence Thomas, dissented in the Supreme Court's midnight order in A.A.R.P. v. Trump, which blocked the Trump administration from deporting Venezuelan migrants under the Alien Enemies Act, arguing the decision was hasty, premature, and lacked clear jurisdiction. When the Supreme Court brazenly violates its own precedent and, indeed, a federal statute as it did Saturday morning, can that order be ignored? What would the Framers say? All this talk about the administration not complying with this or that court, here we have the High Court violating process and the law and apparently, there is no recourse. Why aren't the TV lawyers jumping up and down about this? The reason is they have no problem with judicial tyranny.   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The Framers of the U.S. Constitution designed a government that they hoped would be impervious to tyranny of the majority. What they didn't spend much time worrying about was the reverse: a tyranny of the minority. The political scientist Steve Teles explains how very small minorities have come to dominate government and what should be done about it.  Further Reading:  “Minoritarianism Is Everywhere,” by Steve Teles Tyranny of the Minority: Why American Democracy Reached the Breaking Point, by Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt “The Great Political Sort Is Happening at the Office,” by Jerusalem Demsas  Get more from your favorite Atlantic voices when you subscribe.

The power of the President to pardon convicted criminals is enshrined in the Constitution, but many experts have criticized the recent use of pardons and calls for reform have grown louder.  Governors Bredesen and Haslam are joined by Mike Nelson, professor of political science at Rhodes College and Steve Vladeck, professor of law at Georgetown University (and returning YMBR guest), to discuss this power, what the Framers of the Constitution intended, and how it could be reformed.

Listen to our episode with lawyer Rene Sarmiento, a member of the 1986 Constitutional Commission, on the impeachment trail of Sara Duterte.

The Constitution is supreme - not acts of Congress, not a president's views, and not court opinions. The Framers repeatedly affirmed this. So, who decides when the Constitution is violated? For the Founders, the answer was everyone. And that's the key to what we're covering in this episode - how real checks and balances were designed to work. The post Ignore the Court? The Real Checks and Balances in the Founders Constitution first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.

This week I Talk About No Code Platform: Framer [powerpress]

Few people have a better perch to observe technological change than Kenneth Cukier, deputy executive editor at The Economist and co-author of the best-selling book Big Data. I caught up with Cukier at DLD this year to get his take on the last twenty years of technology disruption. He began by remembering how, in 2005, tech giants like Google and Facebook were viewed simply as successful startups, not as the foundational platforms they would become. Cukier explores the emergence of Big Data, which he identifies as a crucial development that laid the groundwork for artificial intelligence. He notes two major surprises over this period: the unprecedented speed of technological change and the increasing level of social violence and incivility, particularly online. He expresses concern about the deterioration of civil discourse and human dignity in digital spaces. On artificial intelligence, Cukier argues that generative AI was a natural evolution from the big data era, though he's hesitant to call it inevitable. Looking ahead to 2045, he dismisses the possibility of achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI), suggesting this framework misunderstands the nature of machine intelligence. Cukier concluded our conversation with the counter-intuitive prediction that government will become more credible but smaller by 2045, returning power to communities and individuals.Kenneth Cukier is deputy executive editor, following two decades at the paper as a foreign correspondent, technology writer, data editor and commentary editor. He is the coauthor of the NYT bestselling book “Big Data” with Viktor Mayer-Schönberger, which was translated into over 20 languages, and “Framers” on AI and mental models, with Viktor and Francis de Véricourt. Previously Kenn was the technology editor of the Wall Street Journal Asia in Hong Kong and worked at the International Herald Tribune in Paris.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, DA Alvin Bragg and Judge Juan Merchan have done enormous damage to the rule of law in Donald Trump's NY case. Merchan should have dismissed the case, but he didn't. This isn't a great victory because this case still hangs over Trump's head. There are legal pathways to deal with this, but the Trump team must go on the offense. Also, the issue of recess appointments is coming up and some in the media are saying Trump is threatening liberty. No, the Framers put recess appointments in the Constitution. In Trump's first term, the Democrat Congress slow-walked all his nominees. This time around he needs his people to get through quickly. Later, the Drill Down exposes the collusion of the Virginia Attorney General's office with radical animal rights activists. These awful organizations devoured what was a legit movement. Finally, Caroline Glick calls in to explain that the left wing in Israel is trying to oust PM Benjamin Netanyahu before President-elect Donald Trump takes office in January. They'll stop at nothing to stop Netanyahu from achieving total victory over its enemies. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The Framers of the Constitution wanted the president to be strong, but not too strong Center for Civic Education

The Framers of the Constitution envisioned the president as being above partisan politics. They wanted the president to be a person who had earned the esteem and confidence of the entire nation. This was one of the purposes of the Electoral College. Center for Civic Education

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Mathew Guluzian of Rise Again Framing Ltd. to hear about his journey into the world of framing and the people who shaped his career. Mathew opens up about the highs and lows of his path in the trades, including a tragic incident that changed his perspective forever. He recalls the day he stood just six feet away from his colleague and a mentor, Mike Groulx, when a fall led to a fatal injury. Mike suffered a fractured skull and passed away one week later—a loss that impacted Mathew deeply and the way he looks at construction today. Through this conversation, Mathew shares how this experience strengthened his commitment to safety, resilience, and honoring the legacy of those who paved the way. Join us as we explore not only the technical aspects of framing but also the emotional and human side of working in the trades.

Guests: Scott and Sharayah Colter, The Danbury Institute: A Coalition for Life and Liberty   If you'd like to watch this podcast, check out the PCA YouTube page.   This will be a two-week conversation with Scott and Sharayah Colter, founders of The Danbury Institute. Week one will be a conversation about America's Godly heritage - the influence of God's Word on the Framers and the ideas that led to our Constitutional Republic. I asked Scott and Sharayah for additional resources that they would recommend for those wanting to take a deeper dive into this topic and they recommended resources from the following:   Hillsdale College - which offers free online classes on the Constitution, Marxism/Socialism/Communism, American heritage, etc.   WallBuilders - David Barton and his son Tim have some outstanding resources including America's Godly Heritage (book, CD, or DVD) and The American Story series.   Sharayah also encourages you to read the words of the Framers - George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, John Jay, Alexander Hamilton, and many others - go online and read some of their letters and speeches and learn more about this incredible period of world history from those who were there. I would also recommend reading The Federalist Papers, written by Hamilton, Jay, and Madison as well as the original text of the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution.

Let's get real and share exactly how it is…WordPress is not the tool of choice for most web designers getting into the game today.It may be where most end up, because WordPress is the most popular, customizable, and only open-source platform online but as a starting point, it's not where most new web designers are starting.Drag and drop platforms like Framer, SquareSpace, and ShowIt and even more robust platforms like WixStudio, WebFlow, and Duda seem to be where young whipper-snapper web designers jump to first.So it begs the question…is WordPress just for old people nowadays?To dive into this topic and to explore both the challenges and opportunities ahead for WordPress, I'm pleased to bring on a young web designer and thought leader Mark Szymanski who, despite being a young whipper snapper web designer, decided to choose WordPress over all the options above.We explore:What made Mark decide on WordPress over more user-friendly buildersThe challenges in competition WordPress has moving forwardHow WordPress can market better to young web designersHow important it is to have a lean tool stack as an agency ownerThe key ingredient that continues to keep WordPress leading as the most popular platformNote: we recorded this conversation before the recent WordPress vs WPEngine drama happened so that is not discussed in this one.If you have anything to add on this topic - feel free to drop us a comment on the show notes at joshhall.co/349The Web Design Business Podcast is available on:Apple - https://apple.co/36wnnc3Spotify - https://spoti.fi/36ttMEor wherever you get your podcastsView all Web Design Business Podcasts with show notes and full transcriptions at: https://joshhall.co/podcastWe just added new listening pathways on the Podcast Playlists page!

There's a lot going on at BCMC & Framer Summit 2024 in Milwaukee, WI. On this episode, the BCMC Committee's Co-Chairs, Zach Shepherd of Engineered Building Design, and Michael Schwitter of Alpine, an ITW Company, hit all the highlights and share what excites them most.

Harry sits down with Judge J. Michael Luttig, a leading conservative jurist and fierce critic of Donald Trump, the Republican Party, and the Supreme Court. Judge Luttig explains why Trump is the very menace to the Constitution that the Framers feared, and excoriates Republicans in Congress for enabling his authoritarian ambitions. The two move on to 3 pro-Trump Supreme Court decisions that Luttig disparages, singling out for special reproach the Court's immunity decision, which Judge Luttig characterizes as an "abomination". It's a hard-hitting, essential discussion with one of Trump's most formidable conservative critics.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of Passing Judgment, Jessica Levinson is joined by political science and history professor Paul Savoie to break down the intricacies of the US electoral system. They explore the historical roots and ongoing impact of the electoral college, the challenges of polarized politics, and the reliability of modern polling. The conversation examines the potential advantages of reforming the electoral college and delves into the implications for American democracy. Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:1️⃣ Framers' Intent and the Electoral College: The framers of the Constitution were cautious about giving voters too much power and thus created a bicameral Congress and the Electoral College. The system was designed to balance public influence with a moderated selection process, initially allowing electors to make independent choices but later tying their votes to state popular votes.2️⃣ Electoral College Impacts and Controversies: The electoral college has led to significant discussions about its impact on the political landscape, particularly regarding scenarios where candidates can win the popular vote but lose the election. 3️⃣ Student Concerns: Students discuss significant current issues like reproductive rights and the Israel-Hamas conflict, reflecting diverse concerns and single-issue voting tendencies.Follow Our Host: @LevinsonJessica

In this episode we sit down with A.J. Jacobs, a journalist who noticed some striking similarities between Biblical fundamentalism and constitutional originalism, and since he once wrote a NYT bestselling book about titled The Year of Living Biblically in which he tried to live for a year as a fundamentalist, he tried to do something similar by living for a year following the Constitution's original meaning as if he were an originalist and then writing a book about it. He soon learned that donning a tricorne hat and marching around Manhattan with a 1700s musket, though fully within one's constitutional rights, will quickly lead to some difficult encounters and altogether strange circumstances.The Year of Living ConstitutionallyAJ Jacobs' WebsiteAJ Jacobs' TwitterHow Minds ChangeDavid McRaney's TwitterYANSS TwitterKitted ShopThe Story of KittedShow NotesNewsletterPatreon

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, we bring you the best of Mark Levin. All eyes were on President Biden during the Presidential debate, and he was embarrassing, exposing his mental frailty on national television and sending Democrats into a panic. The Democrat party and their media are diabolical and never give up whether they stick with Biden or not and will plot to win the election and dig even harder on Donald Trump. We have lawless lawyers in black robes twisting laws like the Enron Act in order to convict Trump because Biden has weaponized his Department of Justice. Later, the new media lie is that the 6 Supreme Court justices in the immunity case are all sucking up to President Trump. Chief Justice John Roberts, who wrote the immunity decision, is no fan of Trump. Indeed, he publicly criticized Trump some years ago for Trump's criticism of Democrat-appointed jurists. The idea that Roberts bent over backward to deliver Trump an immunity decision that allows him to order the assassination of a political opponent is so disgustingly insane on every level, its demagogues must be openly condemned -- from Sonia Sotomayor to President Biden, from MSNBC to CNN, and the rest of the mouthpieces for American Marxism. Also, If Biden drops out (doubt it, but who knows) go for it, Kamala Harris. Kamala is reportedly upset that she's being overlooked in all the gossip because she is a black woman. You tell them, Kamala! Is the Democrat Party racist and misogynist? Is it truly committed to DEI or will it now resort to a different standard? We shall see! After all, she is so accomplished, such a leader. Just ask Willie Brown. Afterward, the Democrats and their media claim they are the Constitution originalists! For years the Democrats and their media have told us that the Constitution is old, it is a document drafted and adopted by white slaveholders, it is an obstacle to civil rights and progress, etc. The Framers have been condemned, their names removed from buildings, their monuments destroyed, etc. Yet, today, right now, the same Democrats and media are claiming that our precious Constitution is being destroyed by Supreme Court justices who believe in and practice constitutional originalism! That's right! Those who hate the Constitution and its authors insist that they are the true believers and adherents to the original principles, values, and words on which our country -- which they said was hopelessly racist and unequal (CRT, DEI. ESG, 1619, etc.) -- established. Finally, after 23 years Mark and Westwood One have extended their contract for multiple years. Mark said “I understand my obligation is to serve the millions of patriotic Americans in the audience. I am blessed to do what I do, and I am committed every day to providing detailed analyses of current events along with historic context, commentary, and my in-depth perspectives to deliver the very best broadcasting I am able to share with our many listeners.” Learn more about your ad choices.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, we bring you the best of Mark Levin on Independence Day! The Constitution won. The Supreme Court majority has just made it harder to prosecute Biden for his offenses in office, starting with immigration and the special counsel's report. The Democrats should actually thank the Court. It has been the official position of the DOJ for more than half a century that they cannot indict a sitting president for, among other reasons, it would essentially decapitate the executive branch; moreover, those involved in such a process (grand jury, prosecutor, judge, etc. ought not to hold such power over a president who is elected by the entire nation. The immunity issue flows from that -- that is, if a president knows he can be indicted for his official acts by a subsequent administration after he leaves office, it would cripple his ability to exercise his duties. He would have to wonder whether a quick decision or a difficult decision or a decision that seemed right at the time would be subjected to criminal scrutiny after the fact, and after he had left office. The presidency would be gravely damaged. This would have fundamentally altered the separation of powers, greatly weakening the office of the presidency, and effectively amend the Constitution by criminal prosecution. No longer would there be the balance and division among the branches that the Framers worked so hard to enshrine. The January 6 case was built on 3-statutes having nothing to do with the events of January 6 and nothing to do with insurrection or sedition. The statutes have never been applied in the way that Jack Smith applied them. AG Merrick Garland and Jack Smith are disfiguring the Constitution, and the Supreme Court, as well as Judge Cannon, are doing their best to set things straight and place things back in the Constitutional box. It is Smith, a historically rogue and vile prosecutor, who deserves our contempt, along with his boss, Garland. The January 6 case is a farce. The documents case was utterly unnecessary. He and the Democrats may be in a rush to destroy a Constitution they have never admired, and whose authors they hate, in pursuit of their American-Marxist police-state, but the rest of us are not. Also, President Biden gave a primetime address and sent Smith, Judge Chutkan, and Garland their marching orders: keep pushing this farcical January 6 case and try and drag it across the finish line before the election. Keep up the lawfare like never before. Biden had 4 executive orders stopped by the Supreme Court. If Biden believed a president shouldn't be a dictator why did he defy the court? His rhetoric and actions don't match. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

This guy is a hardcore leftist and senior party man. He would not have written this letter without the consent if not urging of House leadership.

Joyce Vance hosts #SistersInLaw to mourn the 2-year anniversary of Dobbs, alert us to the growing threats to our rights, and tear into Lousiana's law that puts the 10 Commandments in classrooms.  In the #Sisters analysis, they explain why precedent, the intentions of the Framers, and the Establishment Clause all point to the law's rejection pending a ruling on the ACLU's challenge. Then, they discuss the US v. Rahimi SCOTUS decision, why there were so many different opinions despite an 8-1 ruling, and how the decision affects gun laws with an in-depth exploration of how the court operates.  They also settle the current debate over whether Alvin Bragg tried Trump correctly and debunk the disinformation around the validity of the conviction.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, President Biden has unconstitutionally invoked executive privilege over Special Counsel Robert Hur audio recordings in order to protect his image and deny the House of Representatives access. The full force of the Department of Justice is being used to prevent the House from accessing this information which could potentially lead to an impeachment. When it comes to the core functions of government the Framers of our Constitution would not recognize this government today because we barely live in a Constitutional Republic. We have a lawless government and a lawless media that supports it, which is why Republicans must win this election and stop this Democrat Marxist totalitarianism. Also, Biden removed Cuba from the list of terrorist states despite their ties to Hamas and the terrorist regime in Iran. The Biden Administration has shown they are anti-American and anti-Israel while siding with our enemies like Iran. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
