## Resource

Today's episode jumps right into the introduction of law professor Adam Macleod, a renowed expert on common law, by the Chair of the Tennessee Senate's judiciary committee in 2019. Professor Macleod testified about the relationship of common law to the forgotten and overlooked Ninth Amendment, and their relationship to the Fourteenth Amendment's guarantee that "persons" are not to be deprived of "life" without "due process of law." Everyone needs to absorb his testimony, even if it takes repeated listens. It is the understanding of the Constitution and the legislative branch rarely taught in law schools!
