Well, that was embarrassing. Those are great quotes, but you do realize that you haven’t proven your original assertion that the states can coin money, don’t you?
Find the passage authorizing them to do so in the US Constitution, and I’ll concede the argument.
Play on, if you can.
So what your saying, your more knowledgeable than the opinions of the founders.
Nice to know we have someone who knows more than what the founders felt.
“.make anything but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts...”
They may not coin money..which the founders said was worthless money..like paper.
But they may coin-gold and silver-a tender-in payment-of debts.
End of story. Until you can prove to me that the founders accepted the idea anything other than Gold and Silver, legal tender for the payments of debt, your argument is a loss.
This note, is legal tender for all debts, public or private, and is redeemable in lawful money at the US Treasury or any Federal Reserve Bank.
You remember that, or are you to young? If that note wasnt lawful money, then what was? Gold and Silver was. And since the US Federal government is printing unlawful money, the states must exercise their authority to overturn the US Federal governments disobeying of the constitution and coin their own lawful money.
