It’s a sad world we live in where talking about the Constitution is considered inappropriate for children. But for actress Janine Turner (Northern Exposure), these are the accusations she faced from parents of the students she teaches about the Constitution. A former board member, who is a current member of the #Resistance, pushed the school who hosted Turner to apologize for inviting her.

The board member, one Buddy Luce, told the Dallas News that he thought the speech was a partisan attempt to bias children. He said, “How they get their foot in the door is letting a nice, little actress from Texas talking in a school about the Constitution.” Luce’s bio on Twitter includes “#TheResistance #ACAIsHereToStay #Resist #TrumpisRepulsive #Indivisible #TurnTexasBlue

Apparently a lot of them.
Janine is a smokin’ hot and intelligent conservative. She has pics out that far better than this one. One of her best was when a blonde!!
Regarding the American Civil War, if you look at the North as symbolic of the federal government and the South as symbolic of the states, then the federal government escaped its Section 8-limited power cage, winning the “government” power war over the states in that war imo.
The country has been “fighting” a federal government versus state governments Civil War cold war since that time imo.
For example, Pres. Woodrow Wilson led Congress to establish the state sovereignty-ignoring Federal Reserve without first leading the states to appropriately amend the Constitution imo.
The states also unthinkingly made the unconstitutionally big federal government official by ratifying the ill-conceived 17th Amendment, the state legislatures foolishly giving up their voices in Congresss by doing so. That amendment effectively effectively the whole Constitution imo.
Early 20th century Supreme Court Justices later invented the state sovereignty-ignoring, politically correct idea of the “living” Constitution, these justices wrongly ignoring that the Founding States had made the Constitution amendable (Article V).
(sarc) In fact, I understand that you can buy a pair of ACME "magic reading glasses” in the Supreme Court gift shop and use them to read anything into the Constitution that you want to. (/sarc)
Post-17th Amendment ratification socialist FDR put the unconstitutionally big federal government in high gear by establishing a bunch of unconstitutional federal spending programs like Social Security and Medicare for example imo.
“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.
"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 [emphases added]." —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”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.
"The smart crooks long ago figured out that getting themselves elected to federal office to make unconstitutional tax laws to fill their pockets is a much easier way to make a living than robbing banks." —me
"Federal career lawmakers probably laugh all the way to the bank to deposit bribes for putting loopholes for the rich and corporations in tax appropriations laws, Congress actually not having the express constitutional authority to make many laws where domestic policy is concerned. Such laws are based on stolen state powers and uniquely associated stolen state revenues." —me
So thank G-d for patriot Pres. Trump.
Patriots need to make sure that there are plenty of Trump-supporting patriots on the 2018 primary ballots and send them to DC on election day.
Thank you for that note. I use the term “states” loosely.
Thanks kevcol.
