"-- or face the loss of federal [emphasis added] funds"
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Not only have the states never amended the Constitution to expressly protect LGBT agenda issues, but patriots need to wise up to the major constitutional problem that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to tax and spend for most of the domestic spending programs that they are now taxing and spending for, INTRAstate schooling in this example.
“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.
In other words, state sovereignty-ignoring Congress is letting the lawless Obama Administration get away with blackmailing the states with the threat of loss of funding that corrupt Congress stole from the states by means of unconstitutonal federal taxes, taxes that Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers imo.
Remember in November !
When patriots elect Trump, they also need to elect a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to not only support Trump, but also put a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes and likewise unconstitutional interference in state affairs.
Also consider that such a Congress would probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.
Agreed!
Your post is right on! I try to make that point every time the federal forces things on states with threats of withholding federal funds. They don’t have that constitutional right. They took that money from the state’s citizens.
