I keep thinking that if Trump University dealt with students through contracts, then consider this. A previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified that Congress’s Commerce Clause power (1.8.3) does not extend to regulating contracts

The feds won't go that route. If they decide to nail a college it will be through withholding of Title IV funds, which are the lifeblood of any college.

Hi Gideon7. Note that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to tax and spend INTRAstate schooling purposes.

In fact a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified that Congress cannot appropriate taxes for anything that it cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers, INTRAstate schooling in this example.

“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.

So Title IV funds are arguably state revenues that the corrupt feds stole from the states by means of unconstitutional federal taxes.

The states don’t need an unconstitutional middleman to tell them how to run their schools.

Remember in November !

Patriots need to support Trump by electing a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will not only work within its Section 8-limited powers to not only support Trump’s vision for making America great again, but also put a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes.

Note that such a Congress will also probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.
