For better or for worse, most courts and legal intellectuals have considered it a toothless restatement of the allocation of power under the Constitution, rather than having any inherent meaning. Certainly after the Civil War (which massively expanded federal power) and the FDR administration (ditto), most people believe that the main constraint on federal power vs. the states is in the Senate, which in theory represents the states equally. In recent years, some conservative judges have been finding *some* constraints in the enumerated powers of the federal government (see the Court's opinion in the first ACA case, which strained to find a basis in the taxing power, rather than just waving it through as the liberals would have done).TigerHawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07478818024748287426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8591018003444406729.post-70547491653704548602015-06-28T20:43:43.774-04:002015-06-28T20:43:43.774-04:00I have never understood why no one has sued ObamaC...I have never understood why no one has sued ObamaCare under the 10th Amendment. I never objected to RomneyCare because that was a state matter. But under the now convoluted twists. The Federal Gov't can require you to buy crap the Congress mandates...that's what ObamaCare means.<br /><br />Why does someone not sue under the reasoning that it's Unconstitutions due to limitations imposed by the 10th?Rich Vailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17858759001158247969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8591018003444406729.post-43087685817718299282015-06-28T17:06:17.376-04:002015-06-28T17:06:17.376-04:00As I've said many times, God hates a coward. S...As I've said many times, God hates a coward. Sitting on our thumbs doing nothing only creates frustration. Our side needs to land a few punches because we are in desperate need of a win. From my perspective I am no more motivated to go to the polls for, let's say a Jeb Bush than for Hillary. So, for all the moderate Republicans I say keep it up, and I guarantee a loss come 2016. Remember this, three million social conservatives stayed home in '12, if they had voted Romney would have been President. If you ignore people one me, we both lose.

If that means wearing chaps and fishnets on South Beach next spring, I'm there. Anything that might be counterproductive to achieving that objective is just so much dying for a lost cause. Because Hillary Clinton (or Bernie Sanders) in the White House with the benefit of Obama's precedents in the use of executive power will pretty much turn the United States in to France, only without the good food, stylish dress, or actually competent people in government. Therefore, if you were to agree on that big picture, what is your preferred course of action now?TigerHawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07478818024748287426noreply@blogger.com
