The still-unfolding story of America's Constitution is a history of heroes and villains--the flawed visionaries who inspired and crafted liberty's safeguards, and the shortsighted opportunists who defied them. Those stories are known by few today.In Our Lost Constitution, Senator Mike Lee tells the dramatic, little-known stories behind six of the Constitution's most indispensible provisions. He shows their rise. He shows their fall. And he makes vividly clear how nearly every abuse of federal power today is rooted in neglect of this Lost Constitution. For example: - The Origination Clause says that all bills to raise taxes must originate in the House of Representatives, but contempt for the clause ensured the passage of Obamacare. - The Fourth Amendment protects us against unreasonable searches and seizures, but the NSA now collects our private data without a warrant. - The Legislative Powers Clause means that only Congress can pass laws, but unelected agencies now produce ninety-nine out of every one hundred pages of legal rules imposed on the American people.Lee's cast of characters includes a former Ku Klux Klansman, who hijacked the Establishment Clause to strangle Catholic schools; the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, who called the Second Amendment a fraud; and the revered president who began his first of four terms by threating to shatter the balance of power between Congress and the president, and who began his second term by vowing to do the same to the Supreme Court. Fortunately, the Constitution has always had its defenders. Senator Lee tells the story of how Andrew Jackson, noted for his courage in duels and politics, stood firm against the unconstitutional expansion of federal powers. He brings to life Ben Franklin's genius for compromise at a deeply divided constitutional convention. And he tells how in 2008, a couple of unlikely challengers persuaded the Supreme Court to rediscover the Second Amendment's right to keep and bear arms. Sections of the Constitution may have been forgotten, but it's not too late to bring them back--if only we remember why we once demanded them and how we later lost them. Drawing on his experience working in all three branches of government, Senator Lee makes a bold case for resurrecting the Lost Constitution to restore and defend our fundamental liberties.

It wasn't long ago that liberal icons, including the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, were against the idea of overhauling the court for political gain. But now, in the Biden era, more and more powerful Democrats are getting behind the cause, claiming the high court is broken and actively dismantling our democracy. Even Joe Biden-who once called court-packing a "bonehead idea"-gave in to the progressive wing of his party, appointing a committee to examine "reforms" to the court after being sworn in as president.In Saving Nine, Mike Lee, a brilliant legal mind, details the history of the current composition of the Supreme Court and strongly warns against the norm-shattering precedent that would be set by politically motivated attempts to turn the Supreme Court into just another partisan weapon.

This book has a lot of actionable information on how to unleash the full power of meditation to overcome fears and get in control forever as an empath. "Empathy is seeing with the eyes of another, listening with the ears of another, and feeling with the heart of another." Anonymous The quote above certainly does a good job of describing empathy. Those who nurture heightened empathy feel through the hearts of others, listen to, and perceive the plight of others as their own. If you can relate to this, and you have a heightened sense of sensitivity that makes you extremely compassionate and overwhelmed at the same time, you are an empath. Deep down, you always knew your heightened sensitivity and compassion for everyone around you is something extraordinary but you did not know what it was or how to label it. Now you know the name-your deep and heightened ability to feel the sentiments of those around you and perceive their emotions as yours is empathy, which makes you an empath. You were also right; being an empath is something special. Your heightened empathy is a gift that makes you different and that gives you an edge over everyone. It makes you feel the pain of others; it allows you to nurture kindness for everyone around; it gives you the ability to understand the emotions of others, and it makes you more intuitive. While all these gifts are amazing, they are also burdening and exhausting. When you are constantly absorbing different emotions and feelings from those around you and even inanimate objects, and become overwhelmed when you receive innumerable stimuli at the same time simply because you can feel everything around you 100 times more than others can, you are likely to feel emotionally swamped. Feeling emotionally drained, exhausted, and perturbed all the time is not comfortable or healthy. When emotionally fatigued, you start feeling physically ill. Headaches, digestive issues, insomnia, and backaches are a few health problems empaths often go through and if you are one, it is very likely that you frequently suffer from these issues too. This does not have to be your life: you do not have to put up with the side effects of your wonderful gift. Because you have a gift, it is your duty to protect it and use it in the best way possible. This you can only do when you learn to recognize and acknowledge your gift, own it, and then protect your inner energy from outside elements that threaten to interfere with it. Meditation is one of the best ways to protect your empathic abilities, which is where this guide comes in.
