Tenth Amendment Center: Tenther Tuesday Episode 39: The Stalker Surveillance State is Getting More Aggressive

...from Tenth Amendment Center

Today is the 558th day that the GOP has failed to repeal Obamacare, or gun control, or end mass, warrantless surveillance. In this episode of Tenther Tuesday, Mike Maharrey (follow) and Michael Boldin (follow) discuss some aggressive government overreach, including TSA and DEA programs stalking innocent travelers and over-the-top efforts to keep surveillance programs secret. Even with all of this going on, a lot of Republicans seem to think things are better constitutionally. As Maharrey and Boldin discuss, you get these kind of bad opinions when you have bad constitutional foundations.

Tenth Amendment Center: Was Justice Scalia an Old Originalist?

Image
...from Tenth Amendment Center One of the standard distinctions these days is between the old originalism and new originalism.  While different people define the distinction a little bit differently, I define the old originalism as having two essential characteristics: using “original intent” to determine the original meaning of a provision and a belief that significantly constraining judges is essential to the task of originalism. The newer originalisms – I use the term “newer originalisms” rather than the “new originalism” because new versions of originalism differ from one another – have abandoned these two characteristics.  The newer originalisms tend to focus on the original public meaning – focusing on a more textual than intentionalist approach.  And the newer originalisms no longer hold (or act like) significantly constraining judges is essential.  If the original meaning is permissive – if it is unclear, vague, or delegates power to judges – then that is the original meanin

Tenth Amendment Center: Permission not Required: “Constitutional Carry” Bill Introduced in South Dakota

Image
...from Tenth Amendment Center PIERRE , S.D. (Jan. 11, 2019) – A “Constitutional Carry” bill introduced in the South Dakota House would make it legal to carry a firearm without a license in the state, fostering an environment hostile to federal gun control. Sen. Lance Russell (R-Hot Springs) introduced Senate Bill 38 ( SB38 ) on Jan. 6, with eight cosponsors from both chambers. The bill seeks to repeal numerous sections of state law requiring state residents to have a license in order to carry a concealed weapon, while still allowing county sheriffs to issue permits. Under current state law , residents are required to have a conceal carry license to have a weapon in their vehicle. Former Gov. Dennis Daugaard rejected similar measures in the past, but with the election of Kristi Noem, supporters hope the legislation can be signed into law this time around. Gun shop owner Brandon Maddox told news station KSFY that a concealed carry permit is redundant. “I think that the second am
