    History and the Supreme Court
    2026/01/22
    I do not usually stop what I am doing to listen to Supreme Court oral arguments. That is lawyer country. Necessary work, important work, but not usually where historians spend their time. But this week, something in one of those arguments stopped me cold. Not because of the outcome, which we do not yet know. Not because of the modern policy question involved. But because of how history was used. Or more precisely, how it was handled. During arguments over a Hawaii firearms law, attorneys defending the statute reached back into the Reconstruction era and cited the post Civil War Black Codes as historical precedent. Laws written in 1865 and 1866 to control, restrict, and terrorize newly freed Black Americans. Laws so abusive that they triggered the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and the Fourteenth Amendment itself. Those laws were presented, in the Supreme Court of the United States, as examples of acceptable historical regulation. If you are not a historian of Reconstruction, that might sound odd. If you are, it should feel deeply unsettling. This episode is not about whether Hawaii’s law is right or wrong. It is not about modern politics. It is about how history works, what it is for, and what happens when we treat the past as a collection of citations instead of a story with meaning. Because some laws are precedents. And some laws are warnings.

  • DDH - An Instrument of Arbitrary Power

    DDH - An Instrument of Arbitrary Power
    2026/01/20
    Before the first shots were fired, before tea hit the water, the American Revolution was already underway, quietly, methodically, and with paperwork. This episode begins in places that do not make it onto commemorative mugs. Courtrooms. Docks. Ledger books. It begins with a simple realization that spread through the colonies like a winter chill. British authority was no longer bound by its own rules. The law, once assumed to be a shield, had started to feel like a weapon. We tend to remember rebellion when it looks dramatic. We forget it when it looks procedural. But long before muskets cracked at Lexington, colonists were watching ships seized under cannon, neighbors dragged into courts without juries, and legal rights evaporate behind polite language and official seals. These were not accidents. They were patterns. Today on Dave Does History on Bill Mick Live, we look at two maritime flashpoints that forced that truth into the open. The seizure of John Hancock’s ship Liberty. The burning of HMS Gaspee. On the surface, they look like local disputes. They exposed something far more dangerous. A system willing to deny juries, relocate trials, and treat distance itself as punishment. These events did not just provoke anger. They taught a lesson. When law becomes untethered from consent, resistance stops being radical and starts being rational. This is the story of how paperwork, procedure, and power pushed America toward independence.

    WTF - Bat (CRAP) Crazy
    2026/01/18
    Welcome back to *What the Frock?*, the show where a rabbi, a friar, and a strong cup of coffee try to make sense of a world that has clearly skipped a few maintenance checks. In this episode, we start where all serious analysis begins, with football heartbreak and bad bets. From there, we wander, cheerfully and with intent, into the strange new marketplace where people no longer wager on games but on governments, resignations, and the expiration dates of world leaders. Not *if*, mind you, but *when*. That alone should tell you something about the age we are living in. Along the way, we ask uncomfortable questions about media, madness, and why shouting has replaced persuasion. We talk about the economics of outrage, the difference between conviction and performance, and what happens when even the loudest voices start blinking at the craziness around them. We also notice something quieter and far more unsettling, the absence of celebration as the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence approaches with barely a whisper. There are no tidy answers here. Just history, skepticism, gallows humor, and a shared sense that silence often says more than noise ever could. Pull up a chair. Pour a drink if that is your custom. The frock is on, and the world is still strange.
