  • Appeals Court: Parents Cannot Opt K-5 Children Out of Pro-LGBTQ Curriculum

    Amendment10 to SeekAndFind; All
    Thank you for referencing that article SeekAndFind.

    "As reported by Fox News, the 2-1 ruling by the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a previous decision by a lower court, which denied the parents a preliminary injunction based on their alleged failure to prove that the policy would constitute a violation of the First Amendment right to freedom of religion [emphasis added]."


    FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

    Jesus taught in Mark 7:7-13, particularly verse 13, that not even religious leaders have the right to interfere with parental authority, religious leaders wrongly nullifying the "Honor your father and mother commandment" by doing so.

    Also, if Christian parents represent what majority local taxpaying voters want concerning this issue, then the federal court is wrongly abridging constitutionally guaranteed republican form of government imo.

    "Article IV, Section 4 (4.4): The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government [emphasis added], and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence."

    On the other hand, it is arguably good that parental rights are not expressly mentioned in the Constitution because some “parents” don't deserve to be parents imo.

    Democratic and Republican Trump supporters need to support hopeful Trump 47 with a new patriot Congress so that he will not only not be a lame duck president from the first day of his second term in office, the new Congress also removing Constitution-ignoring judges from the bench.

  • America Has Too Many Schools

    Amendment10 to tcox4575; All
    Thank you for posting tcox4575.

    "America has too many bad schools."


    A freeper recently appropriately (imo) referred to schools as “federal contractors” (read: buy votes for elite federal Democratic and RINO politicians), probably applicable to many schools.

    The MAJOR constitutional problem with "federal" funding for schools, evidenced by the excerpts below, is that the states have never expressly constitutionally given the unconstitutionally big federal government the specific power to dictate, regulate, tax and spend in the name of INTRAstate schooling.

    • "The great mass of the articles on which impost is paid is foreign luxuries, purchased by those only who are rich enough to afford themselves the use of them. Their patriotism would certainly prefer its continuance and application to the great purposes of the public education, roads, rivers, canals, and such other objects of public improvement as it may be thought proper to add to the constitutional enumeration of federal powers [emphasis added].” —Thomas Jefferson: 6th Annual Message, 1806." (Jefferson is indicating that Congress cannot tax and spend in the name of intrastate infrastructure imo.)

    • "The power to regulate manufactures is no more confided to congress, than the power to interfere with the systems of education, the poor laws, or the road laws of the states [emphasis added]." —Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2, 1833.

    • "From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.

    In other words, the constitutionally clueless schools are “jumping” (how high?) to receive taxpayer dollars collected under abuse (imo) of 16th Amendment powers (direct taxes), such funding arguably state revenues (citizen's wallets) that should never have left the states in the first place.

    Trump's tsunami of Democratic and Republican patriots need to support hopeful Trump 47 with a new Congress in November so that he will not be a lame duck president from the first day of his 2nd term, and will support him to quickly finish draining the swamp.

    New lawmakers additionally need to support Trump in leading the states to put a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes and unconstitutional interference in the affairs of the sovereign states.

    More specifically, Trump needs to lead ALL the states need to effectively "secede" from the tyrannical federal government by repealing 16&17A.

    Consider the repealing of 16&17A as part of reparations for victim taxpayers of the corrupt federal government for having to pay a lifetime of unconstitutional federal taxes.

    "The Federal Government is Literally Taxing Air"


    FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

    The states have never expressly constitutionally given the unconstitutionally big federal government the specific power to police the environment.

    "From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.

    And many patriots don't seem to understand that the powers of the constitutionally limited power federal government to appropriate taxes are likewise limited.

    Unconstitutional federal taxes, taxes that the post-17th Amendment (17A; popular voting for federal senators) ratification Congress cannot reasonably justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers and a few other constitutionally enumerated expenses, are facilitated by the federal government's abuse of its repealable 16th Amendment powers (16A; direct taxes).

    • "16th Amendment : The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived [emphasis added], without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."

    • "Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

    • If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).

    • From the congressional record:

      ”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added].

    • “Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves [emphasis added]. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)

    "This is allll based on the John Roberts decision. Now, EVERYTHING is a tax."


    Whatever the post-FDR era law schools are teaching students, its evidently not the federal government's constitutionally limited powers as the drafters of the Constitution had intended for those powers to be understood.

    In fact, John Roberts and his colleagues don't seem to understand that the Supreme Court has historically clarified that Congress's power to appropriate taxes is likewise constitutionally limited, evidenced by the excerpts below.

    Consider that one of the main problems with taxes is that the corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification (popular voting for federal senators) Congress is greatly abusing is abusing its repealable 16th Amendment power (direct taxes) to appropriate taxes, Congress not able to reasonably justify probably most taxing and spending under its constitutional, Article I, Section 8-limited powers and a few other constitutionally enumerated expenses.

    • "16th Amendment : The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived [emphasis added], without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."

    • "Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

    • From the congressional record, Rep. John Bingham, a constitutional lawmaker, had clarified Congress's constitutionally limited powers as follows:

      ”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
    • Democrats [and RINOs] Are Terrified Of An Educated And Informed Public (3.12.23)

    Also consider the following excerpts from the writings of respected constitutional experts which indicate that the Roberts Court got Obamacare wrong imo, the states still uniquely having the 10th Amendment power to make, tax and spend for INTRastate healthcare policy, including to stop the spread of disease.

    • "Many are the exercises of power reserved to the States wherein a uniformity of proceeding would be advantageous to all. Such are quarantines, health laws [emphasis added], regulations of the press, banking institutions, training militia, etc., etc." —Thomas Jefferson to James Sullivan, 1807.

    • "They form a portion of that immense mass of legislation, which embrace every thing in the territory of a state not surrendered to the general government. Inspection laws, quarantine laws, and health laws, as well as laws for regulating the internal commerce of a state, and others, which respect roads, fences, &c. are component parts of state legislation, resulting from the residuary powers of state sovereignty. No direct power over these is given to congress, and consequently they remain subject to state legislation [emphases added], though they may be controlled by congress, when they interfere with their acknowledged powers." —Justice Joseph Story, Article I, Section 10, Clause 2, 1833.

    Since corrupt, constitutionally undefined political parties have pirated control of state and federal governments, it's now up to Democratic and Republican Trump supporters to do the following. Trump's supporters need to support him with new state and federal lawmakers and executives in November so that he will not be a lame duck president from the first day of his 2nd term, the new Congress also supporting him to quickly finish draining the swamp.

    We might have heard this allegation a long time ago if Pence and the J6 Congress had done their duty to investigate possible violations of Section 2 of the 14th Amendment, that section a penalty for states where ballot box fraud has occurred.

    • Consider the zero tolerance "hair trigger" wording of Section 2 of 14A.

      • "is denied to any"

      • "or in any way abridged,"

      • "14th Amendment, Section 2: Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced [emphases added] in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State." [Apportionment of Representatives]

    • "Section 5 of 14A: The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article."

    Regarding the "in any way abridged" of Section 2, also note that not only does letting illegal immigrants vote weaken the constitutionally enumerated power of citizens, but consider the following.

    Note that the congressional record shows that post-Civil War lawmakers had pointed out that states that allow non-citizens to vote effectively wrongly nullify the Constitution's "Uniform Rule of Naturalization Clause."

    • "Article I, Section 8, Clause 4: To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization [emphasis added], and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;"

    • " If the States can admit to the elective franchise those who are not citizens, thereby neutralizing the votes of citizens, not only the Federal power of naturalization becomes a nullity, but" * * * * "a minority of citizens by the aid of aliens may control the government of the States, and through the States the government of the Union [emphasis added]." —Appendix to the Congressional Globe, 1868. (See near middle of 1st column.)

    • " Whatever difference there may be as to what other rights appertain to a citizen, all must agree that he has the right to petition and also to claim the Protection of the Government. These belong to him as a member the body politic, and the possession of them is what separates citizens of the lowest condition from aliens and slaves. To suppose that a State can make an alien a citizen or confer on him the right of voting would involve the absurdity of giving him the direct and immediate control of the action of the General Government, from which he can claim no protection and to which he has no right to present a petition [emphasis added]." —Appendix to the Congressional Globe, 1868. (See bottom half of 1st column.)

    Since the very corrupt (imo) post-17th Amendment ratification Congress cannot be trusted to respect constitutionally enumerated citizen protections, it is up to Democratic and Republican Trump supporters to do the following. Trump's supporters need to support him with a new patriot Congress in November so that he will not be a lame duck president from the first day of his 2nd term, the new Congress also supporting him to quickly finish draining the swamp.

    "Coalition of 22 State AGs Call on Biden to Reject Treaty Drastically Expanding WHO Authority"


    FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

    I surmise that there are 22 (50?) institutionally indoctrinated state AGs who haven't really studied the Constitution that they swore to protect and defend.

    Otherwise, they would be able to argue the following MAJOR constitutional problems with expanding WHO authority over the sovereignty states.

    Not only have the states never expressly constitutionally given the big, bad, corrupt feds the specific power to dictate, regulate, tax and spend for INTRAstate healthcare purposes, not even to stop the spread of diseases, Obamacare unconstitutional imo, but respected constitutional experts have also noted that the federal government cannot use its power to negotiate treaties as a backdoor to expand its powers.

    First, Thomas Jefferson and Justice Joseph Story as examples, had noted that healthcare is a state power issue, not the business of the feds. In other words, Obamacare for example, is just another corrupt federal government front-end for unconstitutional, unaccountable federal government taxing and spending imo.

    • "Many are the exercises of power reserved to the States wherein a uniformity of proceeding would be advantageous to all. Such are quarantines, health laws [emphasis added], regulations of the press, banking institutions, training militia, etc., etc." —Thomas Jefferson to James Sullivan, 1807.

Butler, 1936.

    • Democrats [and RINOs] Are Terrified Of An Educated And Informed Public (3.12.23)

    Regarding the federal government unconstitutionally expanding its powers through WHO, Thomas Jefferson, undoubtedly based on his experience as President of the Senate, also the Supreme Court, had both clarified that the feds cannot use treaties to expand the federal government's powers.

    • “Surely the President and Senate cannot do by treaty what the whole government is interdicted from doing in any way.” — Thomas Jefferson: Parliamentary Manual, 1812 .

    • "The obvious and decisive answer to this, of course, is that no agreement with a foreign nation can confer power on the Congress, or on any other branch of Government, which is free from the restraints of the Constitution." —Reid v. Covert, 1957.

    Given the concern for record-breaking temperatures from global warming alarmists, I understand that Bill Gates has been working with scientist who may have been putting chemicals into clouds some months back to try to make them reflect more heat into space to save us all from dying from politically correct hot air.

    My concern about Gates' experiment as it relates to claims of record-breaking temperatures is this. Might his experiment, if in progress, possibly be backfiring in some way?

    Also, global warming alarmists have so far not explained why politically demonized CO2 fails to hold the heat down during a solar eclipse in the middle of an otherwise warm sunny day .

    In fact, Democrats are wrongly ignoring that the post-Civil War congressional record shows that lawmakers were concerned that renegade states who allowed illegal aliens to vote were effectively nullifying the Constitution's "Uniform Rule of Naturalization Clause," which elite Democrats are now wrongly trying to do imo.

    Patriots are reminded that the states have never expressly constitutionally given the federal government the specific powers to either dictate, regulate, tax and spend in the name of INTRAstate schooling except for militia training, or to deal with sex-related protections outside the scope of voting rights, evidenced by the 19th Amendment.

    "18 U.S. Code § 611 - Voting by aliens"


    FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

    As with any law made by the unconstitutionally big, post-17th Amendment ratification federal government, patriots first need to go upstream to the Constitution to find a clause that reasonably justifies the law. And if there is no clause, then patriots have a constitutional duty (imo) to replace the entire House and whatever senators are up for reelection in the next election, November 2024 a great time to start doing so.

    • “3. The Constitution was written to be understood by the voters [emphasis added]; its words and phrases were used in their normal and ordinary as distinguished from technical meaning; where the intention is clear, there is no room for construction [spin] and no excuse for interpolation or addition.” —United States v. Sprague, 1931.

    • "From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.

    Patriots desperately need to fire post-16th Amendment (16A) ratification career celebrity lawmakers who chase the tsunami of unconstitutional federal taxes fostered by the abuse of that clause, taxes that Congress cannot reasonably justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers.

    • "16th Amendment : The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived [emphasis added], without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."

    • "Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

    • If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).

    • From the congressional record:

      ”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)

    Regarding voting by aliens, note that women couldn't vote in states that prohibited women from voting until after the 19th Amendment (19A) was ratified.

    "19th Amendment: The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.

    Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."

    And for states that think that they can simply allow illegals to vote like they let women vote before 19A, consider this. The congressional record shows that post-Civil War lawmakers had expressed concern that states that allow non-citizens to vote effectively nullify the Constitution's "Uniform Rule of Naturalization Clause."

    • "Article I, Section 8, Clause 4: To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization [emphasis added], and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;"

    • " If the States can admit to the elective franchise those who are not citizens, thereby neutralizing the votes of citizens, not only the Federal power of naturalization becomes a nullity, but" * * * * "a minority of citizens by the aid of aliens may control the government of the States, and through the States the government of the Union [emphasis added]." —Appendix to the Congressional Globe, 1868. (See near middle of 1st column.)

    • " Whatever difference there may be as to what other rights appertain to a citizen, all must agree that he has the right to petition and also to claim the Protection of the Government. These belong to him as a member the body politic, and the possession of them is what separates citizens of the lowest condition from aliens and slaves. To suppose that a State can make an alien a citizen or confer on him the right of voting would involve the absurdity of giving him the direct and immediate control of the action of the General Government, from which he can claim no protection and to which he has no right to present a petition [emphasis added]." —Appendix to the Congressional Globe, 1868. (See bottom half of 1st column.)

    So OBiden must first lead Congress to successfully propose an illegal aliens voting rights amendment to the Constitution before illegals can vote to keep desperate elite Democratic and RINOs in power imo, such an amendment effectively repealing the relevant part of the Uniform Rule of Naturalization Clause. But it isn't going to happen imo.

    "South Carolina Agency: The Feds Force Us To Give Voter Registration To Foreign Nationals"


    First, the bottom line ...

    Regarding illegals voting to keep desperate elite Democrats who murder unborn Democratic voters in power, the broader picture is that political party and media fuss about "obsolete" electoral college is because it is the only thing stopping the corrupt political parties from establishing a permanent puppet presidency that will unquestioningly sign unconstitutional taxing and spending bills into law.

    The congressional record shows that post-Civil War lawmakers had expressed concern that states that allow non-citizens to vote effectively nullify the Constitution's "Uniform Rule of Naturalization Clause."

    • "Article I, Section 8, Clause 4: To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization [emphasis added], and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;"

    • " If the States can admit to the elective franchise those who are not citizens, thereby neutralizing the votes of citizens, not only the Federal power of naturalization becomes a nullity, but" * * * * "a minority of citizens by the aid of aliens may control the government of the States, and through the States the government of the Union [emphasis added]." —Appendix to the Congressional Globe, 1868. (See near middle of 1st column.)

    • " Whatever difference there may be as to what other rights appertain to a citizen, all must agree that he has the right to petition and also to claim the Protection of the Government. These belong to him as a member the body politic, and the possession of them is what separates citizens of the lowest condition from aliens and slaves. To suppose that a State can make an alien a citizen or confer on him the right of voting would involve the absurdity of giving him the direct and immediate control of the action of the General Government, from which he can claim no protection and to which he has no right to present a petition [emphasis added]." —Appendix to the Congressional Globe, 1868. (See bottom half of 1st column.)

    So if what SC is saying about voter registration forms is true, the very corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification feds are likewise violating the Uniform Rule of Naturalization Clause imo.

    Again, the broader picture is that corrupt political party and media fuss about "obsolete" electoral college is because the electoral college is the only thing stopping the constitutionally undefined political parties that have pirated control of state and federal governments from establishing a permanent puppet presidency that will unquestioningly sign unconstitutional taxing and spending bills into law.

    Thank you for referencing that article Racketeer. Please note that the following critique is directed at the desperate elite Democrats who have evidently pirated control of Arizona.

    "Arizona Shows Huge Number of ILLEGAL BALLOTS Cast in 2020"


    Regarding allegations of problems with Arizona vote counting for 2020, please consider the following.

    Pence and the J6 Congress seem to have obstructed the due process of Section 2 of the 14th Amendment (14A) for Arizona, that section a penalty for states where ballot box fraud has occurred, when Congress hastily (imo) decided to accept questionable electoral votes for Biden, déjà vu of Pelosi irresponsibly ramming unconstitutional (imo) Obamacare through the House imo.

    • Consider the zero tolerance "hair triggers" of Section 2 of 14A.

      • "is denied to any"

      • "or in any way abridged,"

      • "14th Amendment, Section 2: Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced [emphases added] in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State." [Apportionment of Representatives]

    • "Section 5: The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article."

    Democratic and Republican Trump-supporting patriots need to support Trump with a new patriot Congress in November that will not only support hopeful Trump 47 to quickly finish draining the swamp, but will also do its duty to make sure that Section 2 is enforced for 2020 (earlier?) elections.

    If this were a better world, the feds would be publicly reminding all states before an election that the feds will be darkening the doorway of any state to investigate allegations of possible violations of constitutional voting integrity protections.

    Thank you for posting Gaffer and nickcarraway.

    "The ONLY document that is relevant is the United States Constitution and/or the USSC’s interpretation of it."


    Respectfully Gaffer, noting that the Constitution doesn't say much about international law, Justice John Jay had also clarified that the Laws of Nations (international law) is a founding law like the Constitution is.

    Excerpted from the writings of Chief Justice John Jay:

    "That you may percieve more clearly the Extent and objects of your Inquiries, it may be proper to observe that the Laws of the united States admit of being classed under three Heads or3 Descriptions—
    "1st. all Treaties made under the authority of the united States.

    2dly. The Laws of nations [emphasis added]

    3dly. The Constitution, and Statutes of the united States—"

    John Jay’s Charge to the Grand Jury, the Circuit Court for the District of Virginia, 22 May 1793

    So regardless that media led us to believe that Laws of Nations in Constitution is a mystery (my word) in the context of Obama's questionable qualification to be president, first Chief Justice John Jay left us a paper trail from the Constitution to the Laws of Nations imo.

    "Dem Sen. Kelly: I Support Eliminating the Filibuster to Codify Abortion Rights"


    FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

    Since the word abortion is not found in the Constitution, the constitutionally limited power federal government has no power to make policy for abortion.

    "From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.

    Just like Pelosi, Kelly is trying to keep desperate Democrats and RINOs in power by scandalously exploiting constitutionally low-information voters imo, trying to win their votes for OBiden with campaign promises of unconstitutional, politically correct abortion rights. Such voters have probably never been taught about federal government's constitutionally limited powers.

    Probably the main reason that Democratic and RINO crook politicians support abortion is so that they can continue to pocket their share of unconstitutional federal taxes, such taxes arguably stolen state revenues (citizen's wallets), collected by Congress's abuse of repealable 16th Amendment.

    "16th Amendment : The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived [emphasis added], without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."

    Again, Congress has no express constitutional power to legislatively address abortion.

    Thank you for referencing that article Tell It Right.

    "Railroad co’s should just rename their diesel locomotives as “EV locomotives with a diesel generator”. It’s an accurate description of what they are anyway."


    Your statement brought the following thread to mind.

    Largest EV Charging Station In the World is Powered By Diesel-Powered Generators (10.3.23)

    Since the states have never expressly constitutionally given the very corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification feds the specific power to police the environment, consider that the EPA, run by non-popularly elected bureaucrats, is unconstitutional and shouldn't exist imo.

    "From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v.

    California's CARB is likewise illegal under California's constitution imo, CARB also run by non-popularly elected bureaucrats.

    "Article IV, California Constitution

    Section 1

    The legislative power of this State is vested in the California Legislature which consists of the Senate and Assembly, the people reserving to themselves the powers of initiative and referendum."

    Non-popularly elected government bureaucrats in state and federal governments are examples of career, crook lawmakers who are not taking responsibility for the legislative powers that voter are trusting them with imo, most federal domestic bureaucrat policies now based on stolen state powers imo.

    "Nancy Pelosi: If Democrats Win, We Will Kill the Filibuster and Legalize Abortions Up to Birth Nationwide"


    FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

    The word abortion is not found in the Constitution. So in stark contrast to Pelosi's unconstitutional election year promise, the federal government has no express constitutional authority, including no Oval Office edicts, to say yes or no to abortion, or to dictate policy for abortion, or to tax and spend for abortion.

    In other words, not only was the Supreme Court's decision in Roe v. Wade (Roe) a MAJOR constitutional scandal imo, but consider this. Desperate, post-17th Amendment ratification Democratic and RINO lawmakers seized Roe as their "opportunity" to stay in power by exploiting constitutionally low-information, pro-abortion voters who have probably never been taught the federal government's constitutionally limited powers as the drafters of the Constitution had intended for those powers to be understood.

    Here's an example how abortion can be thought of as being effectively written into the 1st Amendment.

    • "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; [or dictating policy for abortion, either directly or indirectly;] or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

    • "From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.

    If this were a better world, the House would be justified in expelling Pelosi for trying to unconstitutionally expand the federal government's constitutionally limited powers imo.

    Thank you for referencing that article Roman_War_Criminal. Please note that the following critique is address at the post-17th Amendment ratification Senate and not at you.

    "With Only Weeks Away, Experts Urgently Warn WHO Pandemic Treaty Will Usurp US Sovereignty"


    FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

    First, the states have never expressly constitutionally given the federal government the specific power to dictate, regulate, tax and spend for INTRAstate healthcare purposes (Obamacare unconstitutional imo), not even to stop the spread of contagious diseases.

    Justice Joseph Story had put it this way about national federal healthcare.

    • "They form a portion of that immense mass of legislation, which embrace every thing in the territory of a state not surrendered to the general government. Inspection laws, quarantine laws, and health laws, as well as laws for regulating the internal commerce of a state, and others, which respect roads, fences, &c. are component parts of state legislation, resulting from the residuary powers of state sovereignty. No direct power over these is given to congress, and consequently they remain subject to state legislation [emphases added], though they may be controlled by congress, when they interfere with their acknowledged powers." —Justice Joseph Story, Article I, Section 10, Clause 2, 1833.

    • "From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.

    In fact, Story had also clarified that peacetime foreign aid and subsidies are unconstitutional.

    If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).

    Also, both Thomas Jefferson, undoubtedly based on his experience as President of Senate, and Supreme Court had clarified that fed's power to make treaties cannot be used as a way around the Constitution's Article V amendment process to petition states for new federal powers like the crooks in DC are evidently trying to do with WHO Pandemic Treaty.

    • “Surely the President and Senate cannot do by treaty what the whole government is interdicted from doing in any way.” — Thomas Jefferson: Parliamentary Manual, 1812 .

    • "The obvious and decisive answer to this, of course, is that no agreement with a foreign nation can confer power on the Congress, or on any other branch of Government, which is free from the restraints of the Constitution." —Reid v. Covert, 1957.

    Democratic and Republican Trump supporters need to support hopeful Trump 47 with a new patriot Congress so that he won't be a lame duck president from the first day of his second term in office, the new Congress also supporting Trump to quickly finish draining the swamp.
