Guest Host: Chris Hinkley, RBN host of Road Warrior Radio | The tyranny of the Judiciary, and the modern Administrative State have effectively and entirely usurped the Constitution and its Republic. What is our recourse? What is our remedy? I advocate we begin by reading:

  1. John Adams’ February 13, 1818 letter to Hezekiah Niles
  2. John Adams’ June 1, 1818 letter to William Tudor concerning the ‘name and character’ of James Otis
  3. John Adams’ June 9, 1818 letter to William Tudor concerning the ‘name and character’ of James Otis
