Today I opened the lines without our usual intro—and without Paul in the cockpit—so I took a few minutes to share how he became such an integral part of this community after my bumpy multi‑part interview on Sarah Westall’s show years ago. From there we dove deep into how American law actually gets made and then applied: bills moving through the House and Senate, signatures and vetoes, the Statutes at Large, and how portions become the U.S. Code—sometimes as positive law and sometimes not. We spent most of the session on the administrative state: the Administrative Procedure Act, the Federal Register, and the three kinds of regulations (statements of policy, interpretive rules, and substantive “notice‑and‑comment” rules), with examples like CDC masking and TSA directives. We also looked at the IRS through 26 CFR §1.1‑1 and the eCFR, and contrasted all of this with older legal traditions (Roman civil law and the merchant code) to show how “remedy” and process actually operate. Along the way, callers raised questions about courts of appeals and precedent, the Library of Congress and federal depositories, positive vs. non‑positive law, and how to research a regulation’s history in the Federal Register. If you’re new, this is a concentrated primer you can replay, take notes on, and use to orient your future research.
