December 29, 2023 05:16 - 34 minutes - 31.3 MBQualified Immunity Turns Against Police (Blue On Blue Violence) Episode # 63 Today on Legalese we will be discussing two truly outrageous cases in which cops were granted qualified immunity.

First Amendment Beats Police Defendants
September 07, 2023 08:08 - 35 minutes - 32.2 MBEpisode #55 Today on Legalese we look at two recent cases that pit private citizens and the First Amendment against qualified immunity and police officers who believe themselves to be above the law.

In Bailey v Iles we find a man whose only "crime" was to post a joke on Facebook. Which was considered enough of a crime by t...

Tim Pool Doesn't Get The Bruen Case
June 03, 2023 22:23 - 35 minutes - 32.7 MBThe other day on Twitter the notable YouTuber and world-class milquetoast fence sitter, Tim Pool tweeted about the upcoming Supreme Court Opinion in Jackson and Bruen. Saying if the Court overturns Roe and Casey and also rules on Nationwide Constitutional Carry there will be less rioting. While there are myriad problems with this tweet the one that really grinds my gears was his insistence the court could rule on nationwide constitutional carry. After reaching out to Tim to verify if this wa...

Old Lady Makes Minnesota Take It Good & Hard
May 29, 2023 08:42 - 25 minutes - 23.1 MBToday on Legalese we return to a case I discussed in January about home equity theft and the Supreme Court case challenging its constitutionality.

The Importance of Civil Liberties & The Dangers of Emergency Powers
May 29, 2023 08:33 - 15 minutes - 14 MBToday on Legalese, we are going to be looking at a statement put out by Associate Justice Neil Gorsuch as part of the Court's procedural decision in the recent case of Arizona v Mayorkas.

Do The Supreme Court's Actions Constitute An Attack On Democracy?
May 29, 2023 08:22 - 50 minutes - 45.9 MBToday On Legalese we have the second video in my series about the Supreme Court's upcoming case that will reconsider chevron deference. Do their actions constitute some kind of usurpation of power and are they an attack on democracy itself? We discuss this while debunking an article from Vox that claims both of those things are correct. We also look at the real history of administrative law in regards to Chevron Deference Ep. 43 "Do The Supreme Court's Actions Constitute An Attack On Democr...
Did The Supreme Court Just Declare War On Federal Regulations?
May 11, 2023 06:39 - 30 minutes - 27.5 MBToday on Legalese, we will be discussing the Supreme Court's grant for judicial review on the case Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo. This case is controversial because of the distinct (though highly unlikely) possibility that it may see Chevron Deference overruled entirely. Chevron Deference is perhaps the most prolific legal doctrine in the whole of administrative law. This doctrine arose from a landmark Supreme Court case known as: Chevron U.S.A., Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Co...

NH Police Beclown Themselves Following World's Dumbest Arrest
April 11, 2023 12:12 - 32 minutes - 30.1 MBToday on Legalese, we continue my ongoing series "Ignorance of the Law" where I expose the fact that while politicians and police are often quick to tell people ignorance of the law is not an excuse for breaking the law, it's often an excuse for making and enforcing the law. We discuss the North Hampton, New Hampshire police department, where several officers and the police chief beclowned themselves following an especially absurd arrest. But this incident is only the latest in a disturbin...

The Police Have No Duty To Protect You
March 09, 2023 10:49 - 41 minutes - 38.2 MBToday on Legalese, we discuss a very disappointing video from one of my favorite YouTube political commentators, The Actual Justice Warrior. Somehow this normally stellar YouTuber got it in his head that the police having no duty to protect you is a complete myth. So I made this video to correct the record and irrefutably prove the police have no duty to protect you. Actual Justice Warrior YouTube Channel Do Police Have A Duty To Protect You?

March 09, 2023 10:24 - 38 minutes - 35 MBToday on Legalese we are going to be examining the case of Brunson v Adams (Also commonly referred to at Docket 22-380).

Home Equity Theft: When Does The "Takings Clause" Become The "Bend Over & Take It Clause"
January 24, 2023 13:51 - 43 minutes - 39.4 MBToday on Legalese we will be taking a look at the legalized armed robbery that constitutes "Home Equity Theft”.

The property owner in the case—93-year-old widow Geraldine Tyler—argues ...

David Hogg, the darling of the anti-gun movement has a habit of trying to shoe-horn his personal opinion that guns are bad into the Second Amendment and into American Law all the time & while he often says he is willing to discuss why he believes that with gun right advocates he doesn't seem to ever actually do it. I have tried reaching out to him twice in the past year to offe...

As well as two commerce clause cases, one dealing with the Indian Commerce Clause and another dealing with t...
White Pilled - Biden Beclowns Himself
September 11, 2022 13:57 - 26 minutes - 24.7 MBToday on Legalese we are covering Joe Biden’s already catastrophic speech in Philadelphia. Check Out The whole speech here! While most of the critical coverage it has received is largely due to his schizophrenic messaging in which he couldn’t decide if he wanted to be the nation’s great uniter, or the guy who insists democracy is under threat from all those troublemakers who have a different opinion than Joe Biden on any issue. Because anyone who disagree with Joe Biden on anything is a da...

The Cure For Inflation
August 27, 2022 13:02 - 31 minutes - 28.8 MBThere is all kinds of misinformation currently floating around about monetary inflation. Such as those who desperately try to convince you, in spite of all evidence to the contrary: Inflation is caused by rich, corporate fat cats who aren't "paying their fair share in taxes"… Or gas prices are up because those greedy corporate fat cats running oil and gas companies all suddenly got extra-greedy at exactly the same time somehow and are just price gouging us.

The Full Scope Of The Second Amendment
August 27, 2022 12:57 - 1 hour - 61.5 MBToday on Legalese we will be discussing the full scope of the natural right of armed self-defense codified in the second amendment. Too often, the modern debate over the second amendment has to do with whether, and to what extent, may people engage in individual self-defense when the government is either incapable or unwilling to adequately protect people. However, they never question the legitimacy of the government's assertion of their monopoly on the use of violence. Moreover, should th...

The New Assault Weapons Ban
July 23, 2022 11:08 - 37 minutes - 34.5 MBThe House Judiciary Committee has a new assault weapons ban they plan to vote on next week.
