Radio Ranch with Roger Sayles LIVE 112025 ,From Tippecanoe to Today: Banking Battles, Agencies, and Everyday Law

We kick off with some behind‑the‑scenes chaos—failed jump‑starts, hybrid-car hiccups, and a scramble to get last night’s trust class on the air—before settling into a listener‑driven deep dive on how law really reaches your life. I walk through the pipeline from bills to Statutes at Large to the U.S. Code, what “positive law” means, and why the Administrative Procedure Act, the Federal Register, and the eCFR matter when agencies like IRS, CDC, or TSA create and apply rules. Callers push us into meaty territory: tracing 26 CFR §1.1‑1 in the eCFR, researching a regulation’s history, and how “notice and comment” is supposed to work. We also revisit bedrock cases (Slaughter‑House, Elk v. Wilkins, Plessy, Wong Kim Ark), libraries and depositories that house source law, and how to self‑educate without getting lost. Hour two ranges widely—from early American banking fights (Tippecanoe and Tyler Too, Jackson’s bank veto) to modern tech, pharma, and infrastructure headlines in Virginia—plus spirited debate about history, culture, and media (yes, even The Lego Movie). We close by onboarding new listeners to our Wednesday night Trust Course with attorney Brent Winters and sharing practical notes on how to connect live for future shows. If you’re new, this episode is a compact primer you can replay, take notes on, and use to guide your own research.Administrative Procedure Act (APA), U.S. National Archives: https://www.archives.gov/federal-register/laws/administrative-procedureFederal Register (official daily publication for rules, proposed rules, and notices): https://www.federalregister.gov/Electronic Code of Federal Regulations (eCFR): https://www.ecfr.gov/26 CFR § 1.1-1 — Income tax on individuals (eCFR): https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-26/section-1.1-1U.S. Statutes at Large, Library of Congress collection: https://www.loc.gov/collections/united-states-statutes-at-large/U.S. Code Positive Law Codification tables, Office of the Law Revision Counsel: https://uscode.house.gov/codification/legis-tables.shtmlU.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO): https://www.gpo.gov/Library of Congress (primary source access): https://www.loc.gov/The Slaughter-House Cases, 83 U.S. 36 (1873), Justia: https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/83/36/Elk v.
