Michigan legislative action thread
Declare brownies a fruit and chocolate chip cookies a vegetable. Heck, lets go the full boat and be patriotic and make them the official state fruit and vegetables.
Representative Colbeck, please reference the Constitution and tell me exactly where it says that the federal government has the NEED or even the RIGHT to regulate food for our youth. This is the problem with the GOP today. To many have lost sight of and have abandoned the conservative principle of limited government.
”… providing a way around federal health standards that banned them."
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
What is Michigan teaching its children about the Constitution? It’s certainly not the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers as the Founding States had intended for those powers to be understood.
More specifically, regardless what FDR’s thug justices wanted everybody to believe about the scope of Congress’s Commerce Clause powers, those activist justices wrongly ignored that the Court had previously clarified that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to either regulate, tax and spend for intrastate commerce, or to dictate policy for intrastate schools.
”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.
In fact, regardless that federal Democrats, RINOs, activist judges and indoctrinated attorneys will argue that if the Constitution doesn’t say that the feds can’t do something then they can do it, the Supreme Court has addressed that foolish idea too. Politically correct interpretations of the Constitution's Supremacy Clause (5.2) aside, the Court has clarified in broad terms that powers not delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific powers to regulate intrastate commerce and intrastate school policy in this case, are prohibited to the feds.
”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.
LOL, they did it while the First Lady of Food was out of the country
I’ll bet Smart Snacks are as good as Smart Cars.
