oh thats right Government power grabs are good sometimes..
I'm a constitutionalist, not an anarchist, so yes I believe that it is sometimes good that the government exercises it's authority. Especially when exercising it against those who are overtly trying to undermine our currency and our military during a time of war.
If you haven't noticed, the Constitution expressly gives the federal government the authority "To coin money, regulate the value thereof, and of foreign coin".
Liberty Dollar isn't hiding the fact that they are trying to undermine the value of the dollar and the authority of the federal government.
This isn't some example of the government reaching beyond their Constitutional authority, and it's pretty obvious that Liberty Dollar violated the law as it is written.
So if there was a government power grab regarding this, it was back when the US Constitution was ratified.
