Regarding any problems that the people are having with the federal government, misguided, institutionally indoctrinated Supreme Court justices seemingly never check if the federal actions being challenged are reasonably justifiable under the relatively narrow powers that the states have expressly constitutionally given to the feds.

More specifically concerning this Wisconsin example, not only are the law schools evidently not teaching that the delegates to the Constitutional Convention (Con-Con) had decided not to give Congress the power to establish a national bank, but both Jefferson and Justice Joseph Story had also indicated that neither did the delegates give Congress the specific power to dictate, regulate, or tax and spend in the name of INTRAstate education.

Here's a clarification by Jefferson of no express constitutional power for Congress to establish a national bank.

In fact, from the Madison Debates, here's what Con-Con delegate, Mr. Rufus King, had said to help discourage the other delegates from giving Congress banking powers.

"Mr. KING. The States will be prejudiced and divided into parties by it. In Philada. & New York, It will be referred to the establishment of a Bank, which has been a subject of contention in those Cities. In other places it will be referred to mercantile monopolies." —Madison Debates, September 14, 1787.

President Thomas Jefferson again indicates no constitutional authority for feds to establish a national bank.

"Many are the exercises of power reserved to the States wherein a uniformity of proceeding would be advantageous to all. Such are quarantines, health laws, regulations of the press, banking institutions [emphasis added], training militia, etc., etc." —Thomas Jefferson to James Sullivan, 1807.

Militia training aside, Jefferson, along with Justice Joseph Story, had also clarified the obvious, that the states have never expressly conditionally given the feds the specific power to dictate, regulate, tax and spend in the name of intrastate schooling.

The bottom line is that the states would be providing student loans, and collecting the interest, if the very corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification Congress wasn't always stealing state revenues by means of unconstitutional federal taxes, taxes that Congress cannot reasonably justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers, and a few other constitutionally enumerated expenses.

Insights welcome.

Trump's red tsunami of patriot supports, including closet Trump-supporting Democrats, need to take the next step in helping Trump to drain the swamp by voting Republican ticket in November.
