“The PEOPLE are sovereign here in the US, and biblically, that is authorized by God, or we wouldn’t be.”

Then autonomy is wrong, because if God’s authorizing the whole show, then we are not rulers of our self. God rules us.

As for powers/rights. That is my bad. You are correct here. I am arguing that one of the constitutionally granted POWERS of the federal government is the power to regulate goods which enter the country, the power to enact tariffs, etc. Even prior to the 10th, this exists. The 10th expressly speaks of powers not enumerated, but the power to regulate goods entering the country is an enumerated power of the federal government.

You have serious control issues.

Speak with your pastor about this, and show him a print-out of this thread.

but the power to regulate goods entering the country

So, if Bubba grows pot in Arkansas, and sells it in Arkansas, and it gets smoked in Arkansas, then by your logic, the FedGov has no say in the matter, since it didn't cross the border.

I'm ok with that interpretation. But Arkansas still has the power to outlaw it.

If the Constitution was written to detail the right of enforcers to control the lives and morals of it's subjects, then burn it and piss on the ashes.

Stupid as I am, I hold to the stubborn belief that morality at the point of a gun wasn't quite what the Founders had in mind.

Not of the Federal gov it doesn't.
