Neither Obama or the Republicans are the main problem with the nation imo. The problem with the country is hypocritical "patriots" who complain that Obama isn't respecting the Constituton, patriots themselves evidently not taking the initiative to learn the Constitution and its history.
In fact, if voters were to get up to speed on about two pages worth of constitutional statutes and case precedents, then they could arguably close down the unconstitutionally big federal government overnight. Patriots need to get up to speed on the Constitution's Section 8 of Article I, Article V, the 10th Amendment and also Justice John Marshall's clarification that Congress is prohibited from laying taxes in the name of state power issues, issues which Congress has no Section 8 authority to address.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." --Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.And let Judge Andrew Napolitanto read Section 8 of Article I to you.
Judge Napolitano & the ConstitutionIn their wildest imagination, the drafters of the Constitution evidently didn't foresee that the best idea of the pursuit of happiness for many citizens would be to complain about tyrannical government, today's problems with unconstitutionally big federal government evidence that the part of the Constitution following the happiness clause was not worth the effort to write.
There is no “off” switch to the beast on the Potomac.
As Paine pointed out, tyranny is not easily defeated.
