Today’s sprawling federal government, which involves itself in almost every aspect of daily American life, is almost entirely unconstitutional.

Excerpt:
"To rattle off just a random fistful of the federal government’s unauthorized undertakings and entities — brace yourself — there is zero constitutional authority for the Social Security, Medicare, federal drug prohibitions, the Small Business Administration, crop subsidies, the Department of Labor, automotive fuel efficiency standards, climate regulations, the Federal Reserve, union regulation, housing subsidies, the Department of Agriculture, workplace regulations, the Department of Education, federal student loans, the Food and Drug Administration, food stamps, unemployment insurance or light bulb regulations. Even that sampling doesn’t begin to fully account for the scope of the unsanctioned activity.
Don’t let your affinity for any of those enterprises short-circuit your intellectual honesty: Even if you view some of them as benign, that doesn’t render them constitutional. And if you’ve ever invoked the Constitution to spotlight a different kind of government overreach, it would be hypocritical to nod approvingly when it’s violated in ways where you deem the result beneficial."

How is that?
Ditto for Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio.
of the constitution explicitly (e.g., no more "necessary and proper" clause or any other
open ended powers) and describing the capital punishment for any violation, or it won't be done.
If it's not in there, it's UnConstitutional:
Regulate interstate commerce.
Defend the borders
Only Congress can mint currency* i.e: NO FED!
The Constitution mainly concerns itself with limiting government.
Everything else is a "States Rights"

"I quit . . . . when the laws they asked me to enforce made me the executor of the vilest injustice conceivable . . . . to use force to violate the rights of disarmed men."

We need a complete reset. It won't happen. We'll need to just buckle in for the ride as the wheels come off. $34+T, and counting. We've gone where no man has gone before...
there is no provision to take from me to give to another, that is making me a slave to that person
there of no RIGHT tp healthcare, claiming so make a slave of those proving that care, they have no choice but to provide care.
we (government, racial groups, grievance groups) seem to be creating "rights" for some groups that trample the Rights of others without a thought
