On Thursday we interviewed Bruce Fein, Attorney, specializing in Constitutional and International Law. After a two and a half hour session, we walked away with some great footage detailing the history of the Constitution and how we are in the process of losing our inalienable rights in the name of “keeping us safe from terrorism.” Here’s an interesting fact, his first job out of law school at age 27, was to work with the committee to impeach President Nixon after the Watergate scandal. He said that after that experience, everything else in his career came easily. He is currently working with Lon Snowden on one of the biggest whistleblower cases in our history.

We headed to the CATO Institute on Friday to interview Tim Lynch, Attorney and Director of the Project On Criminal Justice. He shared his knowledge around the militarization of police and how the Pentagon is providing surplus military equipment to local police. The danger is that a soldier’s job is to go in and create as much havoc and damage as possible on the target. A local officer’s job was established to keep peace and order. When the local police become more militarized, they tend to take on more of the military mentality.
