Tenth Amendment Center: Warning: These People have a Dangerous Approach to the Constitution
This blog is featured in the latest Tenther newsletter, which everyone in the nullification movement gets daily or weekly. Be one of them – and Become a member here to support the TAC.
Here’s something we hear all the time from liberals/Democrats, “I support what you guys do on privacy (or hemp farming, for example), the states should block the feds on this. But, you really need to drop the gun nut approach on the 2nd Amendment.”
Jeff in Seattle said it like this, “I hate to admit it, but I’m with Trump on banning bump stocks”
Tom in California told me, “The 2nd AM. isn’t a SUICIDE PACT GUYS! Reasonable restrictions are a life or death matter!”
In short, they support the Constitution as long as it fits their own political goals.
But they’re not alone.
On the right, it goes the other direction. For example, Stephen in Maryland – a self-described federal “policeman” told us this one:
“I believe in the Constitution and States rights but this federal law banning cannabis is very much right and correct.”
It’s sad how common this view really is. We hear so often from people on the left they support us on the constitution, “except for guns.” And on the right, they support us on the constitution, “except for cannabis.”
What they’re really telling us is, “I only like the Constitution when it favors things I support.”
That’s a dangerous view. If you attack one part of the Constitution, you attack it all. Here, we stand for the Constitution on EVERY issue.
As James Madison put it in Federalist #45, “The powers delegated … to the Federal Government, are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State Governments are numerous and indefinite.”
In today’s featured article, Mike Maharrey digs even further on this essential pillar of the Constitution and covers the views of a little-known founder on state vs federal power.
