FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
It wouldn't be surprising if this an election year stunt by desperate, alleged election-stealing Democrats.
It remains that the states have never expressly constitutionally given the feds the express power to dictate peacetime INTRAstate healthcare policy. So the non-elected bureaucrats running the constitutionally undefined CDC need to stop unconstitutionally expanding the powers of the very corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification, unconstitutionally big federal government.
"10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphasis added]” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”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)
"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.
Each state needs to set up its own infectious diseases website (forget one-size-fits-all-states websites), complete with a FAQ which reasonably addresses questions from state residents, not “softball” questions from corrupt media celebrities.
The CDC is now listing vaccinated COVID-19 deaths as UNvaccinated deaths if they die within 14 days of the vaccine. (9.2.21)
Additionally, since the states have also never expressly constitutionally given the feds the specific power to dictate, regulate, tax and spend for INTRAstate schooling purposes, each state also needs to require grade schools to do this. Grade schools should devote time to teaching students the importance of a balanced diet, including recommending taking vitamin D3 in the wintery months from October to February in my non-medical opinion.
Here's some other state sovereignty-related, infectious disease information considerations.
The citizens of each state need to consider making their state's healthcare officers electable by ordinary voters.
State healthcare officials should only declare time-limited by law quarantines. Extensions of quarantine period should automatically trigger, by law, special elections for healthcare officers.
"[...] a single courageous State may, if its citizens choose, serve as a laboratory; and try novel social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of the country." —Justice Louis Brandeis, Laboratories of Democracy.
Corrections, insights welcome.
Also, patriots are reminded that they must vote twice this election year. Your first vote is to primary career RINO incumbents. Your second vote is to replace outgoing Democrats and RINOs with Trump-endorsed patriot candidates.
Again, insights welcome.
