Both Republicans and Democrats claim to revere the Constitution. But do they? Really? I don't think they do.

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.

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.

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.
