[Who is John Galt?]

Sorry, but your argument is simply idiotic...

[Colonel Kangaroo]

Idiotic? That's what the liberals and those who would usurp power from the people often say about strict construction of the Constitution. Strict construction, taking what the Constitution actually says over what we wish it would say, is often awkward, but is the safest guarantee of our liberty under the federal system. The Constitution flatly and clearly says that states may not exercise sovereign powers. You may cite extra-Constitutional authorities and opinions for what the Constitution plainly says, but if you do so I do not think you should pretend to be a strict constructionist.
