The likewise corrupt Democratic lawmakers who passed unconstitutional Obamacare wrongly ignored that the states have never expressly constitutionally delegated to the feds the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for INTRAstate healthcare purposes. Previous generations of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified this as follows.
“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.
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added].” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Patriots need to get Trump up to speed with the fed’s constitutionally limited powers before the RINOs indoctrinate him with the wrong ideas.
Problem: Two of your quotations are from before the Civil War. We fought that one, and lost. The Feds rule.
And your foundation for that assertion is what, precisely ? ?
FRiend, I'm as ardent a champion of the 10th Amendment as anyone, and I have every faith that DJ and his team will move as far and as quickly as possible to reassert the 10th's authority.
Imho, you do yourself no favors with such a disparaging supposition a mere 72 hours after the electoral victory of a lifetime.
I don’t appreciate your language or the tone behind it: “ constitutionally low-information president-elect Trump.”
E. Pres. Trump a lot smarter than you suppose is not a Low-Info guy that would trample the Constitution to institute policy.
He’s unlike the other guy who spouted the defense of the Constitution ad nauseam and then voted against the same.
