[...] Jefferson argued vehemently that states had the right and the duty not to obey unconstitutional law, even if passed by the federal government. “whensoever the General Government assumes undelegated powers, its acts are unauthoritative, void, and of no force” He further argued that if the federal government was to decide the limits of its own power, no limits would ever be discovered and the government would grow increasingly powerful.

I agree. Unfortunately, however, the government still has the power to enforce the laws it makes, whether these laws are given to them under the Constitution or not. If you get caught breaking one, you pay.

Using one’s perceived authority to do or to order bad stuff is a big no-no, and the courts have (sometimes) held that there is no obligation to comply with such. This seems like a good place to repeat Ben Franklin’s definitions of Democracy and Liberty: “Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well armed lamb contesting the vote.”

Michael Boldin: When FDR told starving farmers they couldnâ€™t grow more wheat to consume on their own property, the federal government was assuming undelegated powers.Jct: After he’d shut down their thousands of community scrip currencies and condemned the extra jobless to an extra 7 million deaths! By my count, no one’s killed more Americans than Roosevelt, not counting the 3,000 sailors he didn’t warn at Pearl Harbor to get them into the war.

@Michael Boldin@StoptheFed

Michael I have realized courage is something we build by the certainties of all things around us and knowing well our Foundation and its principals by which to determine.

Thank you for all your contributions, something realized and shared if far better than something realized and forgotten.
