COMMON LAW ACADEMY RED
Law and Discourse Series
Today, we embark on a new path with the ‘Law and Discourse’ series (red). This series is designed to be more interactive and solution-oriented. While the ‘Fundamental Principles’ series (green) was about learning the law, ‘Law and Discourse’ is about applying that knowledge. Together, we will use what we have learned to identify instances where government actions need correction. More importantly, you will actively participate in creating and executing plans to address these issues.
Our sessions will be dynamic, involving discussions, breakout groups, and expert panels. We will work collaboratively to develop actionable solutions and strategies. Your insights, experiences, and ideas will be invaluable as we navigate through these discussions.
Thank you for joining us on this new venture. Let’s get started on making a real impact!”

Episode 108:
In this episode, we explore:
Episode 109: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.
The Good: Today, citizens of Massachusetts took a powerful stand against Governor Maura Healey’s unconstitutional emergency measures. They delivered 95,000 petitions, over 1,500 notices, and multiple affidavits in an effort to remove her from office and challenge the newly imposed gun control legislation. This massive public action reaffirms the principle that government derives its power from the people, and no emergency declaration can override the Constitution or individual rights.
In an open letter to American Catholics, former U.S. nuncio Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò also endorsed Donald Trump as the “only possible choice” in the upcoming election. Viganò’s call emphasizes the importance of protecting religious liberty and standing against forces that threaten traditional American values. This appeal highlights the ongoing battle to preserve the moral and constitutional foundations of the nation.
The Ugly: Whistleblower Gary Berntsen has come forward with shocking revelations about foreign interference in U.S. elections. He has exposed a network of Venezuelan, Chinese, and Serbian entities involved in the manipulation of voting systems, raising concerns about the integrity of the democratic process. This aligns with the founders’ warnings about the dangers of foreign influence and the need to protect the sovereignty of the United States.
The Bad: California’s San Francisco Bay Area is reinstating strict mask mandates for health care workers, patients, and visitors starting November 1, 2024. Violations could result in fines or imprisonment. Critics argue that such mandates infringe on personal liberties, and the government lacks the authority to impose such restrictions in the name of the “common good.” The founders cautioned that the general welfare cannot be used as a justification to override individual freedoms.
Episode 110: A Treatise on the Eight Immutable Principles of American Law and Governance
This lesson delves into the foundational framework of American law and governance, encapsulated in the Eight Immutable Principles. These principles serve as the bedrock of justice, liberty, and limited government, grounded in divine law, natural law, and the inherent sovereignty of the people. Through an exploration of historical context, Founders’ intent, constitutional provisions, and timeless legal maxims, students will gain a comprehensive understanding of the origins, significance, and practical application of these principles in preserving individual rights and restraining government overreach.
