The writers of American Daily Review appreciate you reading and commenting on these two related stories, more over we would really appreciate you supporting the states efforts of the citizens of New Hampshire and Oklahoma to tell the Federal government to mind their own business and stop trying to use "federal funding", which originally comes from the states, as a weapon of coercion.

The states have sold themselves into slavery by taking money from the feds that they should have doled out to the feds far more carefully to begin with.

If you believe a state can withdraw from the Union you are barking up the wrong tree.

Federal funding does not come from “the states” it comes from American citizens.

“Congress has not unlimited powers to provide for the general welfare, but only those specifically enumerated.”

Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution

2:§§ 1073--91

The question comes to this, whether a power, exclusively for the regulation of commerce, is a power for the regulation of manufactures? The statement of such a question would seem to involve its own answer. Can a power, granted for one purpose, be transferred to another? If it can, where is the limitation in the constitution? Are not commerce and manufactures as distinct, as commerce and agriculture? If they are, how can a power to regulate one arise from a power to regulate the other? It is true, that commerce and manufactures are, or may be, intimately connected with each other. A regulation of one may injuriously or beneficially affect the other. But that is not the point in controversy. It is, whether congress has a right to regulate that, which is not committed to it, under a power, which is committed to it, simply because there is, or may be an intimate connexion between the powers. If this were admitted, the enumeration of the powers of congress would be wholly unnecessary and nugatory. Agriculture, colonies, capital, machinery, the wages of labour, the profits of stock, the rents of land, the punctual performance of contracts, and the diffusion of knowledge would all be within the scope of the power; for all of them bear an intimate relation to commerce. The result would be, that the powers of congress would embrace the widest extent of legislative functions, to the utter demolition of all constitutional boundaries between the state and national governments.

***The 10th Amendment states: “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.”***

The most ignored Amendment.

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.

Thanks for the ping, and thanks to all for some very enlightening comments/ opinions/ quotes.

One quick (and trivial) note:
