“The festering rot at the THE ENTIRE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT seems bigger and deeper than we ever guessed”
The founding fathers were wise and knew big government was the enemy of individual liberty. By giving the federal government few enumerated powers, and by instituting multiple checks and balances, they hoped to limit the ability of the federal government to grow and become tyrannical. Unfortunately future generations chose to ignore the worlds of the Constitution. Through Amendments to the Constitution, court opinions, the abdication by Congress of its budgetary responsibility, and all branches of government simply ignoring the language of the document, government has grown beyond any scale the founders could envision and has become completely corrupted in the process.
Yes, well, those things have happened deliberately validating the grave concerns of the Anti-Federalists at the time of constitutional ratification. The Constitution needed to be ratified and was, but the concerns of the Anti-Federalist were valid then as now.
We live in a fallen world and only the coronation of Christ as King of kings and Lord of lords - coming soon - will fix this fallen world.
In the meantime, remember, the Constitution CREATED the federal government and the Constitution is the SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND (Art. 6, Cl. 2). (Again, ONLY those federal laws (AND Court decisions) that are PURSUANT to the Constitution are valid (same article and clause as cited above).)
That means that what we have is an 80%+ illegal and criminal government. WE THE PEOPLE have the high moral and legal ground not them. When enough people realize this, maybe by God’s grace and Divine Providence we can recover our Free Constitutional Republic.
