Obama tramples 10th Amendment
Dionysus
HEAD: Obama's war on health care tramples the 10th Amendment
Don't let anyone tell you that ObamaCare isn't a blatantly illegal assault
on the Constitution.
The 10th Amendment reads: "The powers not delegated to the United States by
the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the
States respectively, or to the people."
Opponents of the Constitution (liberals) try to excuse their open disregard
for the rule of law by deliberately misinterpreting the things like the
Commerce Clause or the General Welfare Clause to mean that Congress can do
anything it feels like, as long as it can be construed to be "promoting the
general welfare of the country," for example.
This is a bald-faced lie that can be debunked beyond question. James
Madison, Architect of the Constitution, was confronted with this exact
attempt to illegally expand federal powers in 1817, and he responded by
emphatically denying that this was ever the intent of the Founders, or that
they would have never had ratified the Constitution in the first place if
anyone involved had mistaken it to mean something so broad.
He clarified that the powers of the federal government are "few and defined,
and that the rights of the states and of the people were "numerous and
indefinite." He went on to explain that such a bastardization of what was
created by the Founders would render "the special and careful enumeration of
powers which follow the clause nugatory and improper. Such a view of the
Constitution would give the Congress a general power of legislation instead
of the defined and limited one hitherto understood to belong to them."
Case closed. Obama is at war with the Constitution.
And for those who visionlessly insist that we couldn't function if we have
fifty independent states running their own affairs, I direct your attention
to Europe, where the individual members of the European Union have yet to
spiral into a chaos and anarchy from the EU not having the power to govern
over them all, as opposed to being merely a coalition between them, as the
federal government was intended to be here.
Control the borders, settle interstate disputes, deal with foreign
governments. That is pretty much the extent of the federal government's
actual legal authority. Why does this matter? Because 90% of the problems we
have right now wouldn't exist if we were following the Constitution and
keeping nearly all the power at the state and local level, where the
individual has maximum control over his own community and affairs.
But instead, we continue to illegally nationalize all the power and control
away from the individual and the rightful sovereign states, and into the
hands of a tiny handful of unaccountable extremists in Washington. This is
the problem. This is our struggle.

Absolutely correct. The federal government has no authority to set
national highway speed limits, minimum drinking ages, or standards for
state-issued driver's licenses. Oh wait, all of these violations of
the 10th Amendment were committed by Republican administrations
(Nixon, Reagan, Bush II).

I'm not excusing the Democrats, just pointing out that Republicans are
no defenders of the Constitution. You seem to be a Republican
yourself, so it is ironic that you are suddenly concerned about
upholding the Constitution when your own party wiped its ass with it
and flushed it down the toilet.

Nonsense, unschooled and vulgar little fool, I'm no republican. I am a
proud,
America- loving conservative.
You should remember what your third grade teacher taught you (just last
week, right?); never assume, it makes makes an 'ass' of 'u' and you.
Merry Christmas.
No surrender!

Sorry....hit the wrong key, sent the wrong copy. Here's what I REALLY wanted to say
(and in its' entirety)...AAC
The conservative Supreme Court judges were all appointed by Republicans, IMO because
they wanted to select someone schooled in the Constitution who would maintain its
conservative predilection....AAC
