Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 55:54 — 51.2MB)

Here’s part two of our examination of the Bill of Rights.  After some quick announcements, Phil and Josh discuss Amendments Six through Ten.  We discuss our own take on the importance of these amendments, the Founder’s intentions, and how they are being abused today.

Towards the end of this episode we venture into (relevant) tangent land including thoughts about Governor Rick Perry of Texas being in Merck’s pocket, corporate personhood, and anecdotes about ridiculous gas can legislation in California and gas stations in Oregon.

You’ll also hear that we’re experimenting with a new semi fancy-pants intro and music!
