Jacob Oaks vs. the Courts: Fighting for Due Process in Utah | 08-10-26

Utah candidate and Liberty United founder Jacob Oaks is fighting a court system he says violated his due process rights over a suspended license he was never notified about. This episode of the Liberty RoundTable explores why one man's refusal to pay a $300 fine has become a landmark constitutional battle over jury trials, government overreach, and the rights of every American. 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 Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction: Liberty Roundtable Broadcasts Live 00:17 Sam Bushman Introduces the Jacob Oaks Case 02:25 What Does "Odious" Mean?
