It is chiefly a list of the things government cannot do.

And it has no practical enforcement mechanism. Therefore, in practice government can do whatever the legislature, executive, and judiciary conspire to do.

Thread winner!

Those griping re: Commerce Clause refuse to acknowledge, he we sit, 100+ yrs later, w/ LESS Freedoms and Rights than they had at the turn of the 20th century.

We the People have allowed it to happen. Hell, just bring up any pot/weed topic and a gaggle of “(C)” will happily bring up the “Controlled Substances Act” and spout off “Federal Law!!”; while they bitch and moan about any/all ‘gun control’ w/o a HINT of hypocrisy.

The Republic died MOONS ago. Authors premise is shit, but the outcome cannot be denied.
