I ran across this while reading about what is happening to our country.

It's an excerpt from: Sobran's---How Tyranny came to America

If Washington and Jefferson, Madison, and Hamilton could come back, the first thing they’d notice would be that the federal government now routinely assumes thousands of powers never assigned to it — powers never granted, never delegated, never enumerated. These were the words they used, and it’s a good idea for us to learn their language. They would say that we no longer live under the Constitution they wrote. And the Americans of a much later era — the period from Cleveland to Coolidge, for example — would say we no longer live even under the Constitution they inherited and amended.

For the complete read.

My post#367. I checked the "Do not Post from List", before I posted and did not see his name.

Delving further into his site I came across this---Not to reprint the "feature" in any publication or on any web site.

I only posted a paragraph, don't know if that makes a difference. Sorry if I caused you a problem.
