Like the time-line of a natural disaster, it would be useful to see a flowchart of our nation's Supreme Court decisions through our history, going wrong and taking us ever farther from our Constitution.

What is the anatomy of this enemy? What is being used to support affront after affront to Liberty? What were and are the key foundational bad decisions / interpretations / precedents that have been and are being used to take us so far from what was intended? Where are these arguments the weakest?

Then perhaps we can apply focused fire.

JCC says: “Society is man written large.”
P replies: “Man is society written small.” 13

It's prety obvious that society grows out of mankind. Maybe the progressives would like to argue with my tagline. People came first, then society. What credible reasoning could possibly (even) indicate otherwise?

Since the statements are opposite, the validation of one is vitaition of the other.

Nature versus nurture arguments notwithstanding.

“All powers granted by the Constitution, are derived from the people of the United States; and may be resumed by them when perverted to their injury or oppression; and … every power not granted remains with them, and at their will; and … no right of any description can be canceled, abridged, restrained or modified by Congress, the Senate, the House of Representatives, the President or any department, or officer of the United States.” — John C. Calhoun

I wonder what Mr. Calhoun would think about the "substantial effect" doctrine used with commerce clause.

"P replies: “Education is the art of adjusting people so solidly to the climate of opinion prevalent at the time that they do not feel any ‘desire to know.’ Education is the art of preventing people from acquiring the knowledge that would enable them to articulate the questions of existence. Education is the art of pressuring young people into a state of alienation that will result in either quiet despair or aggressive militancy.”15

Which is exactly what's been going on in this country for many years and we can see the result. Great post.
