5. The Judiciary And Its Powers

The source, nature, and scope of judicial power, as provided in the Constitution and federal statutes.

Hank Holzer delivered his live Lecture 4 on Sunday, February 7, 2010. This is its content:

4. The Presidency And Its Powers

The President's "chief executive" and "faithfully execute" power, including the appointment of czars by the "Capo di Tutti Capi," the embargo on selling arms in the Chaco War, loss of American sovereignty to the United Nations and other one-world entities, one United States Senator's attempt to prevent the U.S. from becoming just another "state" on a planet with no separate countries, and the Supreme Court's "reassurance" that treaties don't override domestic United States law.

The President as Commander-in-Chief, recently undercut by the Court in its four terrorism cases which have nearly emasculated his war-fighting powers by treating al-Qaeda terrorists like common criminals, granting them constitutional rights in defiance of controlling precedent and making the judiciary into America's ultimate generalissimo.
