Thanks for posting. I wondered what was happening with the movement...
Let’s wake up the 10th Amendment!
” a valid exercise of commerse(sic) power”
Bull! They use that excuse far too often.
Yet another bad idea that came out of the FDR administration that has previously been supported by the courts.
Just because it has an effect on interstate commerce, it is not interstate commerce. That is equivalent to saying that the US government can regulate trade between the Middle East and China, as it could affect interstate commerce.
Finger in the feds’ eye ping!
I thought states rights/laws trumpet federal law unless it’s unconstitutional?
I predict Montana loses this round.
Southwest Airlines began offering unregulated fares in Texas in the 70s based on that principle. They won when challenged.
Could be the spark needed for CW II.
Replace "firearms" with any other product and you see that they can claim they control EVERYTHING.
“even sales of firearms that don't cross state lines have an effect on interstate commerce. “
For the Federalies EVERYTHING has an effect on interstate commerce – using that logic there isn't anything that is beyond their control.
What makes people think that after enduring a long string of abuses under despotism and enduring a long war to be free of them that the founding fathers would set up a government that would eventually go right back to tyranny?
What makes people think that the writers of the Constitution would have written in there all manner of restraints on the Government, and yet leave ONE loophole that invalidates the rights in the whole document?
What were the being paid by the word? There would be no point having all these restrains on governmental power and leave it all open to the feds through the commerce clause.
With their reasoning, what doesn’t potentially effect interstate commerce?
They are using interstate commerce to nullify the Bill of Rights....which ammends the original Constitution.
because even sales of firearms that don't cross state lines have an effect on interstate commerce. and Globull Warming causes freezing cold winters and the check is in the mail and i won't...
the tenth amendment....if it is upheld by the courts will keep America, America.
If not upheld? it may mean the time for the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Thanks Still Thinking! This of course bears watching. Just wondering out loud(so to speak), why is the State of Montana not a party to this suit? I’m sure there’s a reasonable explanation but it doesn’t hit me at the moment.
The federal government must be reigned in. The interstate commerce clause in the Constitution was NEVER intended to give the federal government virtually unlimited power.
The feds apparently want a society of placid doped-up unarmed adult children. Easier to control.
Only a few fellow "rights extremists" agreed but most inferred that I was an idiot for thinking it could ever happen...
Yet, here we are.
Its a nice bit of fantasy to think that there is a small chance that I may have said something that was seen by someone of political significance that made them seriously consider the issue.
...which is complete horse manure, of course. This could be another fun exercise for the Supreme Court: restore the First Amendment this week, restore the Second Amendment next week.
