UNBIASED University is in session! While Jordan is on maternity leave, she’s breaking down the most critical aspects of the United States government — the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the three branches of the federal government, presidential elections, the evolution of political parties, and more.

In this episode of UNBIASED Politics, we continue the UNBIASED University series by examining the Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. These amendments focus on the rights of individuals within the legal system and the balance of power between the federal government, the states, and the people. What protections exist in civil trials, what limits does the Constitution place on punishments, and how does the Constitution address rights that are not specifically listed? We break down the right to a jury trial in certain civil cases, the prohibition against excessive fines and cruel and unusual punishment, the recognition that unenumerated rights may still exist, and the principle that powers not delegated to the federal government are reserved to the states or the people. This episode provides a clear, nonpartisan overview of how these often less-discussed amendments continue to shape constitutional law and federalism today.

In this episode of UNBIASED Politics, we continue the UNBIASED University series by breaking down the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, the amendments that establish many of the core protections individuals have within the criminal justice system. What limits does the Constitution place on government searches and seizures, what rights protect individuals during questioning and prosecution, and what guarantees ensure a fair trial? We discuss the protections against unreasonable searches and seizures, the right against self-incrimination, the guarantees of due process, and the rights to legal counsel, a speedy and public trial, and an impartial jury. Through historical context and legal principles, this episode provides a clear, nonpartisan overview of the constitutional safeguards designed to balance law enforcement power with individual rights.

UNBIASED University is officially in session! While Jordan is on maternity leave, she’s breaking down the most critical aspects of the United States government — the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the three branches of the federal government, presidential elections, the evolution of political parties, and more.

In this episode of UNBIASED Politics, we continue the UNBIASED University series by breaking down the First, Second, and Third Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. What protections do these amendments actually guarantee, and how have their meanings evolved over time? We explain the freedoms of speech, religion, the press, assembly, and petition, the right to keep and bear arms, and the historical context behind the rarely discussed Third Amendment’s protection against the forced quartering of soldiers. Along the way, we explore the historical origins of these rights, the major Supreme Court decisions that have shaped how they are interpreted today, and the ongoing legal and political debates surrounding them. Whether you’re looking to better understand your constitutional freedoms or simply want a clear, nonpartisan refresher on the Bill of Rights, this episode provides a straightforward guide to the first three amendments.

In this episode, Jordan is telling you everything we know and don't know about the shooting over the weekend that killed Alex Pretti. Then, she answers some of the most frequently asked questions:

• When is deadly force justified? Was it lawful for agents to shoot Pretti after he was disarmed?
• Who has the authority to arrest the agents responsible? Can states charge ICE agents with murder?
• What laws are at play when it comes to interfering with federal law enforcement, especially when armed?
• Is it illegal to bring a gun to a protest?
• Did Pretti still have his gun on him at the time he was shot?
• Is there a process for holding DHS accountable for incorrect public claims?
• How can the federal government block state law enforcement from investigating? Who has the proper authority to investigate in a situation like this?
• Have there been deaths under previous administrations, and were investigations conducted in those cases?
• And more.
