“has reached the point where they simply can’t be trusted”
Yeah, CNN jumped THAT shark many moons ago.
Stelter probably thinks that “federalism” means an all-powerful federal government.
With most airports deserted, CNN’s audience is pretty much gone...as it should be.
What did I tell you LS? No matter what he does he will get hammered by the media.
The President demonstrated the exact same unfamiliarity with federalism on Twitter this morning, unfortunately.
Indeed... The Federal government was not created to rule, judge or govern the States (or to be the source of such aggressions on behalf of other member or foreign States). Rather the complete opposite was intended, as was simply stated on June 27, 1787 in convention,
“...the General (Federal) Government was meant merely to PRESERVE the State Governments: NOT to govern individuals: that its powers ought to be kept WITHIN NARROW LIMITS; that if too little power was given to it, more might be added; but that if too much, it could never be resumed: that INDIVIDUALS as such have LITTLE to do BUT with their OWN States;”
So, where is it in the Constitution (or suggested anywhere in Convention) that the other way around was intended — i.e. that the People have little to do with their own States instead of little to do with the Federal Government, and that the People’s business was with each other’s States and not with their own and that the business of the “Federal” government was the welfare of individuals?
How is interfering with the State governments (regulating all that which has to do with the lives, liberties, choices, morals, habits, customs, health, wages, etc. of individuals) preserving the State governments? — And, going so far as to sue States in order to PREVENT them from supporting and upholding the Constitution and all the “legitimate” laws made in pursuant of it that every State official is obligate by oath to support and uphold? How are such acts against the States “preserving” their governments, or the Constitution for that matter?... IT DOESN’T!
The Federal government tentacles has invaded EVERY aspect of our public and private daily lives/affairs... interfering into our rights to be free individuals and sovereigns.
The Federal Government has WAY overstepped it’s authority beyond the intended reach of our founders whose intent was in leaving the affairs of the states and its people in their respective hands. The 9th/10th amendments are quite clear on this.
I hate to judge people by their looks, but I will. This guy looks as stupid as a rock.
90% of Congress is equally ignorant of the Constitution.
Very good article on federalism.
Of course most “journalists” are ignorant of the concept, since they have no idea what the constitution is about. To most of them, all power should reside in someone like Pelousi, Shillary, or the Kenyan Fraud.
I don’t disagree with Mr. Marcus at all in his analysis of the powers of the states. I’m curious as to what he wouldh have to say about the President’s claim that he alone has the authority to open the states up again.
For Easter, a federal judge wrote a luminous decision defending religious liberty
And, to my mind, the overbroad and under inclusive apply to far more than prohibitions on religious practice.
