Wishful thinking but I like it.

Maybe wishful thinking, but Constitutional restoration is the only way forward. The bastardization of the Commerce Clause was the lynchpin for all that the progressives wrought over the last 100 years.

Wishful thinking, I know. The debate on qualification for federal office should focus only on foreign policy, administration of the military, tax and tariff policy and other Art 1 section 8 powers.

Other nations complaint thta our foreign policy lacks coherence. No kidding! Our federal elections have become won or lost based upon internal affairs, because of distorted commerce power, “penumbra” powers and other general “police” concerns. Our governments have become worse and worse over the past 100 years at doing what they were intended to do.
