Roll Tide: Alabama GOP U.S. House Delegation Goes Trump All the Way

Politico revealed the sweep, explaining that Trump also scored endorsements from “five statewide elected officials” — including U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville, Lt. Gov. Will Ainsworth and Agriculture Commissioner Rick Pate — in addition to every Republican in Alabama’s U.S. House delegation. That includes Reps. Robert Aderholt, Mike Rogers, Gary Palmer, Barry Moore, and Dale Strong.

“Trump personally phoned the Alabama members over the past week and is expected to greet each of them during his visit to the state on Friday,” Politico reported.

Trump has received key endorsements in other states as well, including many in the Republican Florida delegation, earning support from Florida Reps. Anna Paulina Luna, Byron Donalds, Matt Gaetz, Greg Steube, and Cory Mills.

At this point, Trump has received support from over 80 members of Congress. No other Republican competitor comes remotely close.

The endorsements came ahead of Trump’s scheduled appearance at the Alabama Republican Party dinner taking place Friday evening, where he is slated to speak.

"Roll Tide: Alabama GOP U.S. House Delegation Goes Trump All the Way"

Is Alabama GOP US House ready to introduce a resolution in 2025 to propose an amendment to the Constitution to the states to repeal the 16th Amendment (direct taxes) and 17th Amendments (popular voting for federal senators).

"16th Amendment: The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."

Once 16A is repealed and the tsunami of unconstitutional federal taxes and infamously associated federal government fraud and waste are gone, the states would find new revenues (raise taxes) to establish and run their own social spending programs, ultimately depending on what state social spending programs the qualified majority citizen voters of a given state want.

"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.
“If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).
From the congressional record:
”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
Pelosi: "We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it." (non-FR; 6 sec.)
“Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves [emphasis added]. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)
Democrats Are Terrified Of An Educated And Informed Public (3.12.23)

Finally, note that Justice Joseph Brandeis had introduced his "laboratories of democracy" metaphor to emphasize the unique, 10th Amendment-protected powers of the sovereign states to serve the needs of the people, ultimately depending on what state social spending programs the majority qualified citizen voters of a given state want.

"[...] a single courageous State may, if its citizens choose, serve as a laboratory; and try novel social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of the country." —Justice Louis Brandeis, Laboratories of Democracy.
