    Sounds like wonderful fun – and educational!

    One of the many problems with the expansion of the federal government is that people who have an intuitive sense that something is amiss lack the capability to discuss the intricacies of the laws and how those interact with the Constitution, state laws, the administrative state, and Supreme Court precedent. For people whose expertise lies elsewhere and do not have the time to figure all this out on their own (i.e. normal people with jobs that create wealth for the economy or with children, or both), these events are great. 🙂

    We are getting a full report, right?
