To: Amendment10

You’re absolutely right. The question becomes, how do we get those worms back in the can?

The question becomes, how do we get those worms back in the can?

The problem is that a whole lot of flag-waving patriots evidently don't know the two pages worth of constitutional statutes and Supreme Court case precedents that would force corrupt Congress back into its constitutional Section 8, Article I-limited power cage. So enlightened patriots have to share what they know about the federal government's constitutionally limited powers, including Article V and the 10th Amendment, with Constitution-ignorant patriots and Obama supporters.

Widespread knowledge of Justice John Marshall's clarification of Congress's limited powers to lay taxes would be be a kick in the teeth for Congress too. Marshall had clarified that Congress is prohibited from laying taxes in the name of state power issues, essentially anything that it cannot justify under Section 8.

"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." --Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

And while patriots get people up to speed on Congress's constitutionally limited powers, many patriots, possibly including you, are going to have to be warned about using Obama guard dog Fx News as a comfort zone for conservatives. After all, Fx has had years of opportunity to reconnect viewers with Congress's constitutonally limited powers but has not done so. So I surmise that Bull OReilly and Hanity are reading from Obama's teleprompter when Obama isn't using it.
