The Constitution: Every issue, every time. No exceptions, no excuses.Politics is fickle. My guy wins and all is well. Your guy wins and it's the end of the world. It's been that way in the US for over 200 years. The genius of The US Constitution is it provided the structure for states to rally together when necessary but maintain their sovereignty at all times. It was a joy having a conversation with Michael Maharrey, the National Communications Director of The Tenth Amendment Center. Unlike fickle politics, The Tenth Amendment Center is equally hated by Republicans and Democrats.  Enjoy the episode. www.tenthamendmentcenter.comwww.michaelmaharrey.com Michael Maharrey serves as the national communications director for the Tenth Amendment Center and the managing editor of the SchiffGold website.Michael is the author of four books. Constitution: Owner’s Manual examines various constitutional clauses and principles through the lens of the ratifying conventions. Our Last Hope: Rediscovering the Lost Path to Liberty makes the historical, philosophical and moral case for nullification. Smashing Myths– Understanding Madison’s Notes on Nullification, digs deep into James Madison’s views on nullification, focusing on his writing’s later in life.

Scott talks to Mike Maharrey of the Tenth Amendment Center about the shameful state of U.S. foreign policy. In particular, Maharrey explains the way that congress has completely abdicated its role of declaring wars—instead, they have ceded that power fully to the president. Maharrey reminds us that all empires collapse eventually, and indeed that empire is often the final stage in a civilization’s existence. If we want to preserve our republic, he says, we must do so at the cost of abandoning our empire. Scott and Maharrey share the hope that Colonel Douglas Macgregor, recently appointed to a senior advisory role in the Pentagon, will be able to help us do so.

Mike Maharrey untangles the complex web of legal history that has given America the system known as qualified immunity, which in practice shields police officers from just about any civil lawsuit. The doctrine, which has emerged out of the precedents set by repeated federal court rulings, makes it almost impossible to sue state agents for constitutional violations or other damages suffered during the performance of their jobs. This is mainly because the courts have decided that unless there is specific precedent for the situation the officer finds himself in, discretion must be left up to the officer. In the prominent cases this has meant that if a cop shoots a civilian, as long as other cops say that the shooting was reasonable at the time, the officer will walk free. Maharrey calls for a system that doesn’t rely so much on strict interpretation of specific legal precedent, but instead can allow a judge and jury to use some common sense in adjudicating each situation, the way common law systems operated prior to the founding of the United States. However qualified immunity comes to an end, Scott and Maharrey agree that it is the most important first step in creating a more just police system.

Mike Maharrey of the Tenth Amendment Center discusses a recent U.S. Supreme Court case that overturns a Kansas Supreme Court decision concerning a potentially unconstitutional traffic stop. The police officer in the incident in question pulled a car over because his computer showed that the owner had a suspended driver’s license. This was seen as probable cause, even though it’s obviously quite possible that someone other than the owner was driving the car. The Supreme Court ultimately ruled that the officer’s actions did not violate the Fourth Amendment, overturning the Kansas court’s decision that the stop had been unconstitutional. Maharrey laments the tendency, even among some libertarians, to turn to the federal government as a safeguard of liberty. The pattern, he says, is clear: the more you centralize power, the more it will erode our rights.

Promoting my book "Constitution - Owner's Manual" has reminded me what an abysmal job government schools have done teaching us about the Constitution and the founding principles the government was based on.

You cannot simultaneously support perpetual warfare abroad and limited government at home. Most people tend to separate domestic and foreign policy. The problem is, the two are intimately intertwined, and the things that happen "over there" don't stay over there.

This week's episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head is a hard dose of reality. Both Republicans and Democrats claim to revere the Constitution. But do they? Really? I don't think they do. In fact, I think the vast majority of politicians, including the current president, view the Constitution as nothing but a prop in their political theater.

Progressives don't like it so much when the government expands its own power in ways they don't like. One of the first articles I wrote for the Constitution 101 series was titled "Living and Breathing Is Dead." It makes the fundamental point that if the government can interpret and apply the Constitution in such a way that it expands its own power, the Constitution itself is meaningless. You can't have "rule of law" when the "rule of law" is subject to reinterpretation at the whim of government judges, bureaucrats and elected officials. A constitution must mean what it was intended to mean when ratified, or it's really pointless to have one. Progressives (on both the left and the right) have pushed this notion of a "living breathing" Constitution for decades in order to further their own policy agendas. Well, some folks in Florida recently got a nasty dose of their own medicine when a state judge essentially said city governments get to interpret statutes as they see fit. While this wasn't a constitutional issue, it illustrates the danger of "living breathing law." In this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head, I talk about it.

Remember the Tea Party? Remember what it was all about? It was about taxing. spending and the national debt. Today, the Trump administration is running up Obama-era budget deficits.

Most Americans think July 4, 1776, birthed a nation. It's didn't. It actually birthed 13 independent nations that soon formed a union. The notion that Independence Day birthed a nation is part of a broader "one nation" myth advanced by the likes of Joseph Story and Abraham Lincoln, and perpetuated by the Pledge of Allegiance. In this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head, I debunk the "one nation" myth starting with the Declaration of Independence and then moving forward to the ratification of the Constitution. I answer the key question - where does sovereignty lie in the American political system?

Political activism can be pretty detached from our day-to-day lives. We fight for abstract principles like "liberty" and "limited government" and "constitutional principles." But this week, it got really personal for me. A friend of mine was indicted on federal marijuana charges. He could face 10 years to life in prison. Think about that for a second -- life in a cage for a plant. The actions of government have a real impact on real people. In this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head, I talk about it.

If you learned anything about nullification in school, it's probably in relation to the Nullification Crisis of 1833. And if that's that's the case, you almost certainly learned several myths about nullification.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was arrested by London police and will likely be extradited to the U.S. to face charges in connection with secret documents obtained by Chelsea Manning and published on the WikiLeaks website. These documents revealed government malfeasance. Nevertheless, people on both side of the political spectrum are cheering Assange's arrest, despite the grave threat his prosecution poses to free and open journalism. Most of these cheerleaders won't directly address the information these documents revealed or the service Manning and Assange provided by revealing government criminality. Instead, they justify Assange's prosecution with the refrain, "But he broke the law." In this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head, I take on this spurious argument and reveal it for the tripe that it is.

The Trump administration set an all-time record monthly budget deficit of $234 billion in February. I've actually had some people try to convince me this is somehow Obama's fault -- which is absurd.

This is a sucky strategy and sucky strategies suck. In this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head, I take on these libertarian purists with some sage advice from Thomas Jefferson.

When it comes to the Constitution, most people want to have it both ways. They say the Constitution is important and should always be followed until it gets in the way of their political agenda.

But the Trump supporters are every bit as bad. In this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head, I talk about this constitutional tomfoolery.

I've come to a conclusion: there is a segment of Trump supporters out there who are delusional. They are so blinded by the cult of personality that they can't objectively look at reality. Last month, the Trump administration broke the one-month record for spending. In other words, Trump and his Republican colleagues in Congress are outspending every Democrat who came before him. If you feel angry at me for saying that, you might be one of the aforementioned delusional Trump supporters. In this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head, I talk about this Trump derangement syndrome and break down the spending numbers.

When it comes to the legal system, Americans make a federal case out of almost everything. But a guy in Iowa took a different route. When Iowa police violated his rights, he didn't run to the feds.
