There’s been a lot of skepticism toward federal courts recently. Much of that is — truthfully — entirely justified. In today’s Constitutional Law class, we tackle the federal court system: why we have it, how it works, and the truth behind America’s seismic collapse in court confidence.

The SAVE Act isn’t about voting. It’s about normalizing citizenship status on government identification. And in the process, deputizing state officials for otherwise federal purposes by triggering an immigration duty on routine local enforcement, letting the fed govt circumvent the constitution.

Almost 20% of US women have taken Depo Provera. Recent studies show a 5x higher likelihood of brain/spine tumors (meningiomas) for those who used it. While the rate is still very low, we’re seeing a number of cases. If you’ve been diagnosed with one after Depo use, please email me. It’s a large MDL.
