and this is done by adhering to our Constitution, which protects our right to a representative government.

Our representative government is protecting you from low cost Canadian lumber. You read about the tariffs, didn't you?

Check what I've found:

The current softwood lumber dispute (Lumber IV) commenced in April of 2001. From May 22, 2002 to Dec 20, 2004 most Canadian softwood lumber exported to the US was subject to a combined countervailing and anti-dumping duty of 27%, collected by US Customs. From December 20, 2004 to December 12, 2005 the duties collected were 20%. On December 12, 2005, the duties collected at the border were reduced to 10.81%.

Something smells unconstitutional. Not.
