Tenth Amendment Remembered

...from Tenth Amendment Center Some sixteen hundred years ago, in the year 410 AD, barbarian armies under King Alaric captured the ancient city of Rome, ransacking and pillaging the center of the Roman Empire. The fall of the once-great capital sent terrifying shockwaves throughout the Western world, triggering Saint Jerome to lament that it was like “the bright light of all the world was put out.” Contrary to popular belief, no climactic battle preceded the fall of Rome. In fact, for years beforehand, Alaric and his Visigoths had already gone on a rampage up and down the entire Italian Peninsula, ravaging the countryside as they pleased – virtually unchecked and unchallenged. By the time this band of Gothic ruffians actually arrived at the gates of Rome, it seems that they simply walked into town. All of this relentless chaos raises a question: Just where exactly were the famous Roman legions to stop them? In one of the curious mysteries of fifth-century history, nobody really kn...

...from Tenth Amendment Center Today in History, on Sept. 25 1728, Mercy Otis Warren was born. An ardent patriot advocate for American independence, Warren was the author of “ History of the Rise, Progress, and Termination of the American Revolution ,” the first real chronicle of the War for Independence. Related many of the most famous Whig politicians in Massachusetts, she became known as one of the best writers of her time, and was known as the “Muse of the Revolution.” By surrounding herself with the most famous figures of the time, and by recording the pivotal events that gripped her world, Otis’ writings are deserving of study still today. Later in life, Warren became a tireless advocate for a bill of rights to be added to the Constitution, opposing the document otherwise. She was a leading critic of the Johns Adams administration, rupturing her friendship with the man. Thomas Jefferson was a huge fan of her work and considered her a friend, ordering subscriptions of her...

...from Tenth Amendment Center DETROIT , Mich. – A coalition of grassroots organizations is pushing to end the use of facial recognition technology in the city. BYP100 , Green Light Black Futures , We the People Michigan and Detroit Community Technology Project have banded together to fight what they call “hyper-surveillance and facial recognition technology.” A post on BYP100’s Facebook page proclaims, “We aim to dismantle Project Green Light and Facial recognition software used by police.” On Sept. 19, the Detroit Board of Police Commissioners (BOPC) approved a new policy that put some limits on the use of facial recognition . Under the rule, police can’t use facial recognition technology on video – live or recorded. They can only use it on still photos. But this does not preclude cops from using the technology on photos pulled from videos. Police are also prohibited from using it to assess a person’s immigration status. According to a Facebook post by Green Light Black Futur...

...from Tenth Amendment Center House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said Friday that a whistleblower complaint against President Trump involves a “serious or flagrant abuse or violation of law or misappropriation.” The complaint reportedly says that Trump repeatedly tried to persuade the Ukrainian president to investigate the business dealings in that country of Hunter Biden (shown), son of Democratic presidential frontrunner Joe Biden. In his defense, the president called the accusations “just another political hack job” and labeled the anonymous — to everyone, including Trump — whistleblower “a partisan person” Additionally, he insisted that his negotiations with other world leaders are “always appropriate.” Speaking to reporters after an Oval Office with the Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison, President Trump refused to confirm or deny that he mentioned the Biden family during his phone conversation on July 25 with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zel...

...from Tenth Amendment Center Remember the Tea Party? Remember what it was all about? It was about taxing, spending and the national debt. Today, the Trump administration is running up Obama-era budget deficits. And a lot of the same people who were holding signs at Tea Party rallies are now Trump supporters.

...from Tenth Amendment Center Imagine living in a world where a single individual can issue binding edicts directly controlling the behavior of every firm within a nation. Where one man can unilaterally impose his will upon the general public to the point of expressly forbidding trade relations with an entire country. How terrifying does that sound? That may well be the world we live in. Trump’s Protectionistic Trade Policy When China announced it planned to impose a new round of retaliatory tariffs that will cover around $75 billion worth of American goods, President Trump responded  by saying the United States has “lost, stupidly, Trillions of Dollars with China” and we’d be “better off without them.” He went on to say that our great American companies are hereby ordered to immediately start looking for an alternative to China, including bringing your companies HOME and making your products in the USA. You may find this preposterous, but following his tweetstorm, Trump...
