2 Peter 3:8
King James Version
8 "But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day."
o Senators voted on by the people rather than appointed by representatives of the state.
o No truly bicameral assemblies allowed at the state level.
o Expansive interpretation of the interstate commerce clause.
o Expansive interpretation of the "general welfare" clause.
o Laws passed by congress that prevent states from creating programs fine-tuned to their particular condition.
o Rules/regulations imposed by unelected bureaucrats that impinge on state autonomy.
o Huge debts held by states (partly due to unfunded federal mandates) that keep the states beholden to their sugar daddy.
o Continuous pressure to replace the Electoral College with direct popular vote.
o Completely ignoring the 9th and 10th Amendments to our "living" Constitution.
We no longer are the United States of America. We are now just that American State sandwiched between Canada and Mexico.
