“Resolved, that the several States composing the United States of America, are not united on the principles of unlimited submission to their General Government; ... that whensoever the General Government assumes undelegated powers, its acts are unauthoritative, void, and of no force...”
Do you agree?
Or do you think it is crazy for states and individuals to reject unlimited submission to the federal government?
Certainly, in the wake of a new law that orders American citizens to surrender their right to make their own decisions about the most personal of matters — their health and well-being — it is no surprise that many states have indeed risen up to protest against what appears to be an unconstitutional seizure of power by Congress.
But the words quoted above are not the latest resolution to come out of some “right-wing wacko” tea party convention, as MSNBC would put it.
They are instead the words of the Founding Father who wrote the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson... [snip]
It is hard to be optimistic that the Supreme Court will ultimately rule in favor of the people over the government. Too often in the past, the court has merely rubber-stamped power grabs by the federal government.
If it does so again in this case, then the federal government does not merely run the country. It owns you...
