Something I’ve noticed lately is that I think “The government can’t force us to be vaccinated” and I’m told that the state governments can do that. The 10th Amendment opens the door to state governments mandating the Gates vaccine.

Or I say, “the government can’t take control of your business” and I’m told that the state governments can do that. The 10th Amendment opens the door to state governments taking control of your business.

The federal government seems to control an awful lot of stuff. And everything the feds don’t control, the states can control.

We are no longer a free society. At all.

There is a strip mall near my home:

Autozone: Open
Pet Smart: Open
Shopright: Open
Dentist: Open
Liquor Store: Open
Taco Bell: Open
Chic Fil A: Open

Target: Closed
Verizon: Closed

Makes no sense what is going on and people should rise up!

The State police power is such as has been given to it by the People of the State. It varies by State. The People of the State can restrict the power by amending their state constitution or by state legislation.

Where a governor exceeds the authority given by State law, the courts can enjoin the action of the governor. Generally, it is not a matter of Federal constitutional law. It is sort of like bitching about the income tax. The People amended the Constititution just to give the power of an unapportioned income tax to the Federal government. When a power is given, it can be used for good or bad purpose, wisely or stupidly. The People tend to realize what they did when their grant of power is used unwisely against them for some stupid purpose. Using a granted power unwisely and stupidly does not necessarily make the use unlawful. Power, once given, is hard to claw back.
