Tennessee sues to stop settlement based on Tenth Amendment
If this wins in Court, it opens the floodgates for the States to assert their non-compliance with many of Obama's heavy-handed mandates. I am tentatively hopeful that this may begin a wave of States' rights to take back our government.
No government has a right -- and neither the Federal nor the state governments have either the authorized power or moral justification -- to impose refugee welfare settlements anywhere.
The "supreme" court in the 20th century ignored the constitutional limits repeatedly and dictated changes to the constitution without the consent of the people.
Every ruling of the supreme court since 1900 that resulted in expansion of federal government power should be reviewed by informed local elected representatives of the people and reversed on a local level when found to exceed the enumerated powers of the constitution. The supreme court authority to expand federal government power is unconstitutional.
The 9th and 10th amendments take precedence and are superior to the phrasing of the original constitution. Under the authority of those 2 amendments the states and the people can legally eliminate 50 to 90% of the power and expense of the federal government and restore individual liberty and free markets. Only unconstitutional federal powers, federal force of arms, and irrational, unthinking, brainwashed fools stand in the way.
Another one I think needs to be tweaked is the Twelfth.
However, from Chief Justice Marshall onward the so-called supreme court has unconstitutionally expanded their own powers that once resided with the people, and they will never obey the obvious limits created by the people in the 9th and 10th amendments.
The constitution does not stipulate that supreme court justices have a life term. That is a choice made by Justice Marshall and continued with consent of the con-gress. In order to restore the republic, life appointments for supreme court justices must end. It takes power from the people and gives unelected, politically appointed, biased people monarchical powers unintended by the framers of the constitution. Although it should have been clear in the 9th and 10th amendments, another amendment is needed to specifically stipulate that the supreme court cannot expand the power of federal government beyond the constitutionally enumerated powers and that only the people can do so through the constitutional amendment process.
With the current concentration of power at the federal level, I do not see any hope of a peaceful restoration of individual liberty as clearly stipulated by the constitution.
