Name on thing a Republican has done in the last 30 years that helped return this country to it's founding.

Ronald Reagan elevated William Rehnquist to the Chief Justiceship.

Rehnquist was an Originalist and a defender and restorer of the Tenth Amendment, which Clarence Thomas pointed to when he knocked down Clinton's "midnight basketball" gun-control bill as requiring local LE to gee and haw to the Feds.

Rehnquist also wrote All the Laws but One, an analysis of the history of executive overreach.

You proved my point, you had to go back 30 years.

Any thing after Reagan?
