When Winning is Really Losing
Recently, a commenter on the TenthAmendmentCenter.com website had this to say:
The 10th Amendment was the exclamation point on the Constitution — reinforcing the fact that “We the People” of the several States created the Federal government. Not the other way around. And, we created that government to be our agent for certain, enumerated purposes… and nothing more.
James Madison — you might have heard his name associated with the moniker “Father of the Constitution” — put it this way:
“The powers delegated by the Constitution to the federal government, are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite.”
Well, depending on how you count it, there are approximately 30 powers that have been delegated to the Federal government in the Constitution, most of which reside in Article I, Section 8. Thirty powers. That’s all.
This is the real problem. That's why we need constitutional leaders. Please pass this around.
What should a President do to stand up for the Constitution? If we want to err on the side of the Constitution, let’s keep it simple.
A Constitutional President should pretty much veto everything!
THE CONSTITUTION.
EVERY ISSUE
EVERY TIME
NO EXCEPTIONS
NO EXCUSES.
Like my parents used to tell my brother and me when we fought as children — “you’re both wrong” — it’s time for people who love liberty to do the same to Democrats and Republicans alike.
