By this reasoning, a state could establish rules that would affect how a firm from another state could do business within its borders (in the same fashion as local firms), but it couldn't enact restrictions that would be exclusionary relative to firms from other states. The federal government would therefore have no authority to dictate how commerce is actually conducted by individual firms, but rather only limits on commerce that one state might invoke against another.

Basic common sense says I can not support more people in my house unless sombody steps up and earns some money to help pay the bills!! Wait! If I get my neighbors to anty up a few bucks to support my lazy cousin,neice,ex-wife, whomever why fight it! I'll be ahead. Thank God for Socialism. They who are productive will die from their work knowing they have supported those who could not spell ….WORK!

If the States have not stood in defense of their Rights in support of, or as benifactors of, the 10th Amendment , should it be our quest to defend the 10th Amendment that is in law, or ask the STATES why they do not defend themselves with it?! Or, do we know the truth of that query?

I leave you with this thought. They who have sold their souls to the devil will only reap what the devil repays them with. They who have offered up the souls of those they represent can only be repayed in defeat by those who are the heart of our republic….todays….American citizens.

I have rambled too long…and by the way I have not purchased any books. Bad boy..bad boy!

1. REVERSE 1963 Supreme Court decision requested by the atheist O’Hare
to rule Prayer and Bible reading out of the Public Schools

2. REPEAL Civil Rights Legislation 1964 We have a Bill of Rights.

3. REPEAL Federal Revenue Sharing 1965 This gives “TEETH” to all Federal rules, regulations, and mandates.

Heed the message of Mr. Tim, the retired Police officer.

KEEP YOUR LOCAL SHERIFFS LOCAL – KEEP YOUR LOCAL OFFICE OF CONSTABLE- This office comes from the LOCAL, we, the people and is a check and balance to the Sheriff.

“Checks & Balances” The Founders were matchless in perfecting this system.
They loved their people and would not let their people be “unprotected”. Our Foundations are of Divine Prescription.

Thanks to God For Birth and Education in a Christian Land.

We’re living in God’s Country and we’d better keep it that way.

You are also right on the ways they have long been attempting to blackmail the States into doing their bidding. All that being said the local and State police always had full law general police powers.
It was not for the Federal government to have almost any kinds of police powers at all. The fact that most states are not in the business of enforcement federal laws is a matter of resistance, as well as control in other areas such as immigration policy.

Some federal officials don’t want laws enforces while some state officials don’t want laws enforced. So you can see the dynamic of how they might at different times try to with hold police powers or police support for different matters.

The point is however, the States already have general police powers and can enforce any Local, State and Federal laws they think constitutional. The Feds do not have the right to withdraw such powers nor do they have comparable police powers. The Feds at best have the right to enforce their own laws to the extension that they are constitutional, and what ever State law the state consents them to enforce.

This is why obtaining some means of control/influence over local and state police would be important to the feds seeking to consolidate their power.

The police is the ultimate means of power in the United States. Our liberty depends upon that power being held security as locally (close to the people) as possible. As in NOT being controlled by a person or group of people 1000 miles away, beyond the easy sight and control of the people.

We must be sure that theses “Federal marshals” and whatever else the feds might put there do not have any meaningful control/influence/authority over our police. Indeed the Word of the day should be that they are servants of the local and state police at best, not leaders, or even equals.

We must always remember that the greatest right to rule and thus power comes most directly from the people, therefore the most local police and sheriff are by rights (and should be regarded as) the highest law enforcement officer in their jurisdiction, being the one most directly entrusted and empowered by the people for their security.

We must be sure that the local and state police officers are aware of this pecking orders and follow it when relating to other officers. They must respect the fact that they were entrusted with this power to make theses choices most directly by the people governed by it, not the federal agents. In short, they work for us not Washington D.C.

Keep up the good fight.
