That was quite an interesting discussion about the federal government’s constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers and associated limited power to appropriate taxes. /sarc
“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.

Remember in November !

When patriots elect Trump, Cruz, or whatever conservative they elect, they need to also elect a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will not only work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support the new president, but also protect the states from unconstitutional federal government overreach, including putting a stop to unconstitutional taxing and spending.

Also, consider that such a Congress would probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.

To: Amendment10

The most important legislative action that needs to be addressed (after the border and illegal aliens) is voter registration and identification. Weeks long voting, on-site registration without ID - these things have to be eliminated. They are the left’s vote-printing press. If Republicans manage to win this year, they will have just a single 2 year term to right this election ship, because the extremists and their MSM mouthpieces along with the social media cheerleaders will spend the entire time vilifying Republicans. It is now, or we’re lost.
