Summary
Today at 1 PM ET on Steel News, Ann Vandersteel is joined by Attorney Christopher Burns, a fearless constitutional attorney and head of the United Law Coalition with American Made Action. This episode exposes the machinery of family court, CPS, guardianship, and attorney discipline systems that appear to punish those who challenge entrenched power. Ann and Chris will discuss his legal career, why he has dedicated his work to families under attack, the Rivera case, the unfolding Macklin guardianship battle in Hennepin County, and what happened to his law license after American Made began exposing CPS and judicial corruption. At the center of today’s show is six-year-old Emerson “Sonny” Macklin, who lost both biological parents and is now the subject of a sealed guardianship fight. Pacific Justice Institute reports that Emerson’s paternal grandfather, Timmy Ray Macklin Sr., has filed to intervene, objected to Rebecca Good’s guardianship petition, and filed his own cross-petition seeking placement with family. A hearing on standing is scheduled for June 24, 2026. This is about family. This is about due process. This is about whether America still recognizes blood, kinship, truth, and the constitutional right to be heard.
