Ethics of AI in Education, Law and Politics, Preliminary Issues with Dr. Lucas J. Mather, Ph.D.

We broach the massive issue of the ethics of AI in Education, Culture, Politics and Law.

Bottom line, there are cultural forces at work undermining personal responsibility that predate AI — those should be counteracted immediately.

The Republican Professor is pro-personal responsibility podcast.

Scalia’s Dissent in Morrison v. Olson (1988), Part 4 with Dr. Lucas J. Mather, Ph.D.

Lucas J. Mather 0

There are pleasantly surprising lessons about Second Amendment jurisprudence throughout this section as we continue our study of Justice Scalia’s great dissent in Morrison v. Olson (1988) and what it teaches us about Separation of Powers as established by the Constitution of the United States of America.

Part 4, going through Roman numeral two, the second half. We’ll finish Roman numeral two.

Pay attention to the criticism of interest balancing tests in adjudicating Constitutionally vested powers and rights in this episode, connecting the issue in this case to the Second Amendment .

The Republican Professor is a pro-Separation-of-Powers-rightly-understood-executive-power-correctly-contemplated podcast.

Therefore, welcome Justice Antonin Scalia to the podcast.

Chevron Deference Doctrine Deep Dive Part 2d: Chevron USA v. Natural Resources Defense Council 1984

Lucas J. Mather 0

For Part 2d of this deep dive we finish the famous Chevron USA v. Natural Resource Defense Council (1984) decision.

Recall, this decision reversed the RB Ginsburg opinion at the lower court. It was itself reversed last year in 2024 by Republicans on the US Supreme Court.

This in turn sets us up for Part 6, where we’ll begin to look closely at Loper Bright (2024), which in turn reversed the Republican win in 1984.

The essay is called “Congress and the Welfare State.” It’s a review of Morris Fiorina’s book Congress: Keystone of the Washington Establishment.
