Host Sam Bushman is joined by constitutional scholar Dr. Scott Bradley and Jacob Oaks himself to break down how a routine traffic infraction spiraled into an appeal heading toward the Utah Supreme Court, and possibly beyond. The panel examines how media outlets like KSL framed the story, what the Founders meant by calling patriots "odious," and why complying with an unjust order can set a dangerous precedent for all citizens.
What you will learn:
Why Jacob Oaks refused to pay a $300 court fine and is appealing to the Utah Supreme Court
How prosecutors can amend charges down to infractions to strip defendants of their right to a jury trial
What George Washington meant when he warned that real patriots become "odious" to the ruling class
How misleading headlines can damage a candidate's reputation even when the facts support the defendant
Why the panel argues that compliance with unjust laws only grows government power
