There are pretty good arguments to be made that the current financial system is unconstitutional. It is a very complicated discussion with contradictory Supreme Court decisions.

Article 1, Section 8, Clause 5 of the Constitution is often used to say that States are prohibited from producing currency, but the whole and entire clause says that Congress shall have power...

“To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;”

An argument could be made that this doesn’t specifically prohibit States from coining money. It clearly gives Congress the right to coin money, but it doesn’t expressly prohibit States from doing so.

It has become disconnected from the Natural Law foundation upon which this nation's government was originally based.

I do not believe that FedZilla will tolerate such a thing for one moment. Their power structure is totally dependent upon phoney money by Fiat, and they will regard with maximum threat level, any effort to get out from under their phoney money scheme.

I have long felt that any effort which does not somehow deal with the currency warpage resulting from the Keynesian Malthusians currently exploiting it, is not going to succeed.
