Whenever the feds come out with new regulations, patriots need to check each new regulation against the 18 clauses in Congresss Article I, Section 8-limited powers. (Patriots should not expect lawmakers who have sworn to protect and defend the Constitution to police themselves.)

Patriots then need to contact their local and state lawmakers and teach them about the federal governments constitutionally limited powers by complaining about federal regulations that are not reasonably justifiable under any of Section 8s 18 clauses. Again, most of the clauses in Section 8 are specific powers delegated to the feds by the states.

Patriots also need to remind local and state lawmakers that the Founding States made the first numbered clauses in the Constitution, Sections 1-3 of Article I, evidently a good place to hide these clauses from the feds, to clarify that all federal legislative / regulatory powers are vested in the elected members of Congress, not in the executive or judicial branches, or in non-elected federal bureaucrats like those running the EPA.

So by letting anybody who is not a member of Congress make federal regulations, Congress is wrongly protecting federal legislative powers from the wrath of the voters in blatant defiance of Sections 1-3 mentioned above imo.

I would counter they are null and void from the word ‘GO’: A1S8 defines what CONGRESS is allowed.

These pages full of bloviation and bovine excrement have never been debated, written nor passed by our elected officials. Neither have We the People given our elected officials permission to delegate their authority to any other entity; especially one that is NOT elected.

We the People should still contact our respective reps and tell them what for....Then vote EVERY SINGLE ONE out of office for negligence, should they refuse to correct the matter.
