History on the Run is a blog dedicated to the past's impact on today. History, foreign policy, economics, and more will be blended up weekly for a spin on today's events or a simply rethinking of our common past. Beyond that this is the blog of the podcast and here can be found the scripts from the shows. The blog will probably be more political than the podcast and will not focus so much on the historical narrative.

The podcast is available on Itunes and is called History on the Run

If you disagree with the act, read one of the first two very thoroughly, and then tell me if you still feel the system is unconstitutional. Personally, I feel the FP article does the best job looking at the situation.

    The NSA's searches and seizures of information about American citizens violation the 4th Amendment's prohibition against unreasonable searches and seizures. To understand the Constitution, one has to understand the policy reasons for its creation.
