Cannabis, Commerce & the Constitution: The Lessons of Gonzalez v Raich (2005)
Episode #50
In this episode… Today we have another installment of a series that has consistently been some of my personal favorite episodes and that consistently get 2x or 3x the views of other videos. Today In Supreme Court History. As of the day I am recording this, June 8th in 2005 the Supreme Court issued their opinion in the case of Gonzalez v Raich (2005)
This case has relevance to innumerable aspects of Constitutional Law. This case is regarded prima Facie, as a Commerce Clause case (Article I, § 8, Clause 3) – It was not only the first time that the court had expanded Congress’ powers under the commerce clause since Wickard v Filburn in 1942, this was a case that did not hinge of the commerce clause, but instead enlarged the “Implied Powers” of the necessary and proper clause.

Heart Of The Constitution: The Bill Of Rights As A Term Of Art (Part II)
Episode #50
Justice Hugo Black famously said that the bill of rights is the heart of the Constitution.
Contemplating what he meant by that is an interesting question to ponder. But even more compelling is asking the question what exactly is the Bill Of Rights? Because the first 10 amendments to the Constitution were never consistently even considered A bill of rights, and certainly not THE Bill Of Rights. This only occurs around the time Justice Hugo Black said these amendments were the bill of rights and they are the heart of the Constitution, but that was in the mid 20th Century.
This series explores their drafting, their application throughout the country from the earliest days to modern day, it also follows their meaning during history which was something that changed over time as their applications began to be different

Who Reigns Supreme In Britain?
On a recent episode I did about the American conception of Popular Sovereignty I was asked how Sovereignty works in England, and it’s actually a pretty damn interesting question to answer. This gave me a chance to touch on much of my most favorite areas of the study and practice of law: Constitutional law, Common Law & Comparative all mixed in with the fascinating history of power struggle and usurpation that made Britain a nation known for it’s rule by consent and strong sense of English liberty. We discuss English Sovereignty and then give a captive discussion on how it contrasts and compares with American Jurisprudence and even how a concept known as “Parliamentary Sovereignty” and it’s little known role in the earliest causes of the American rebellion that turned into our Revolution from the country whose liberties we loved, then lost, then re-created in our own image.
