Indeed, with the majority of domestic functions presently aimed by the federal being those for which there is absolutely no delegated power given the federal this is true.
Fact is, the Republic under the federal Constitution that replaced that under the Articles of Confederation CEASED in FDR’s time.
At this time we have an Arbitrary government that drapes itself in the form of the lawful, constitutional government and nothing more. This state of affairs was pretty much always what the so-called “progressives” labored for since well before it was achieved. They were and are, everyone of them that every falsely promised to uphold the Constitution in their oaths of office, all scum worthy of nothing but contempt and scorn.
Drat! Should be “claimed by the federal” not “aimed by the federal”
