Episode Description

If you missed President Dallin H. Oaks speaking about the Constitution, you sure missed out! The President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints -- who also served on the Utah Supreme Court -- spoke last night from the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. He spoke about the importance of the Constitution and why he believes it's a divinely inspired document. With today being Constitution Day, Inside Sources spends a special hour on this important document.

 

Besides Greg and Holly discussing President Oaks' comments, they're also joined by some guests to discuss the relevance of the Constitution in our day-to-day lives.

  • Dr. Matthew Brogdon, Senior Director of the Center for Constitutional Studies at Utah Valley University, joins with his thoughts on why the Constitution is still applicable in 2026
  • Benji McMurray, Senior Litigator at the Utah Federal Defender Office, discusses the importance of the "presumption" of innocence and the potential constitutionality or unconstitutionality of Flock cameras
