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...

2019-08-3110 minThoughts from Maharrey HeadDebunking The One Nation Myth: Thoughts From Maharrey Head 146Most 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?

A lot of people say Obamacare has been a roaring success. But for me and my family, it's been a nightmare. Thankfully, there are some alternatives to this government boondoggle bubbling up out there. In this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head, I share a little bit about my Obamacare nightmare and the free market solution we've taken advantage of.

Under the Constitution, the president does not have the authority to launch offensive military actions. Not for 90 days. Not for 60 days. Not for one minute. And the War Powers Resolution of 1973 does not change that. In this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head, I talk about presidential war powers and explain why the War Powers Resolution is itself unconstitutional.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg got the big-boy version of a call into the principal's office. He spent 10 hours testifying for a joint Senate committee. The questions some of the senators asked reveals why we shouldn't count on Congress to manage all of our affairs.

This one will ruffle some feathers. But the truth hurts. There's not a dime's worth of difference between Republicans and Democrats when it comes to their view of the United State political system and the Constitution. In this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head, I make the case.

I hear a lot of Republicans in general, and Trump supporters in particular, talking about how great the economy is. The problem is it's not that great and it has nothing to do with Donald Trump. Or Barack Obama
In this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head I talk about why Trumpanomics doesn't really matter, and what you really need to be focused on when it comes to the U.S. economy.

He attacked the principles in recent statements about California's sanctuary state policies. In doing so, he sounded just like Rachel Maddow.
In this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head, I talk about it. I compare the ideas of Maddow and Sessions (there's not much to contrast), and I also take on the absurd notion that the Civil War "settled" the issue of nullification and secession.

We all have ideologies. They help us make sense of a complex world and provide us with a lens through which we can evaluate events. But ideologies can get us in trouble when we become unable to look outside of them. In this episode, I talk about the problems that inevitably crop up if you try to project your ideological point of view on the Constitution.

2018-02-1011 minThoughts from Maharrey HeadThoughts from Maharrey Head #99: America;s First Immigration DebateIn this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head, I talk about America's first immigration debate and what it reveals about federal power. To visit the show notes page, click here: http://bit.ly/2tQqjPi
Immigration ranks among the most contentious political issues in America today. Debates rage about “pathways to citizenship,” building walls and blocking refugees. But Americans often ignore the most fundamental question – who has power over immigration matters?
Arguments over immigration are nothing new. In fact, America’s first major immigration debate happened in 1798 when Congress passed the Alien and Sedition Acts. James Madison weighed in on the issue in...

Despite all of the successes we’ve had at the Tenth Amendment Center over the last few years, whenever I talk about nullification, somebody wants to argue, “It will never work.” As these naysayers see it, the federal government is big enough and powerful enough to do whatever it pleases.
This simply isn’t true.

2017-07-0710 minThoughts from Maharrey HeadThoughts from Maharrey Head #97: Centralized Government Is No Friend of MinoritiesIn this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head, I talk about centralized government, slavery and discrimination. To visit the show notes page, click here; http://bit.ly/2txngwB
Conventional wisdom holds that national, centralized government protects the interests of minorities.
This is a myth.
In fact, the state has a long history of persecuting minority populations.
A recent trip my wife and I took to the Kingsley Plantation, near Jacksonville, Fla., underscored this fact. In truth, centralized power was necessary to maintain the slavery and to institutionalize racism.
In this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head, I talk about it.

Ron Paul mainstreamed the idea of “ending the Fed.” Even today, we occasionally hear about efforts in Congress to audit the Federal Reserve and perhaps rein in some of its power. But as with most things, we simply can’t count on Washington D.C. to fix a problem in Washington D.C.

Comedian Kathy Griffin sparked the brouhaha of the week when a picture of her holding the likeness of Pres. Trump’s severed head surfaced. Social media went nuts.

This week’s political brouhaha erupted when Pres. Trump fired FBI director James Comey in the midst of an investigation into Russian ties – or something. The firing caused a total freakout on the left – just months after the same people called for Comey’s head because of his probes into Hillary Clinton’s shenanigans.
Another “pass the popcorn” moment in American politics.

Earlier this week, U.S. District Judge William Orrick slapped an injunction on Trump’s executive order relating to so-called sanctuary cities.

Santa Clara County and San Francisco, California, challenged the EO in federal court on a number of grounds. Orrick ag...

There’s been a lot of talk about “fake news” over the last several months. But what exactly is fake news? Why the sudden obsession with rooting it out? And can we really be sure what we get from so-called “mainstream” sources is “real” news?
In this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head, I talk about the media, the concept of fake news, and how it’s used to marginalize unapproved opinions.

Whenever I talk about political or social issues, at some point somebody in the conversation will say, “We need to …”
“We need to provide healthcare.”
