The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”The Tenth Amendment makes it clear to those who can read with an open mind that Congress has only that power specifically delegated to it. No more. Yet, Congress and the Supreme Court have exercised and permitted the exercise of powers far exceeding those limited powers.
Our Founding Fathers – specifically Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and Patrick Henry – demanded the original Constitution provide for a legal means of bringing finality of any government’s legitimacy directly back into the hands of the people at large whenever the people so desired. The framers broke the Mighty 10th into two actionable lines of defense against a King George government:
1) the states (“powers…are reserved to the States respectively…”), and
2) the people (“powers…are reserved…to the people.”)
By doing so, Congress and the Supreme Court have usurped rights of the states and rights of the people.
Where in the Constitution is Congress specifically authorized to adopt totalitarian health care. Nowhere. Not the "general welfare clause." Not the "interstate commerce clause." Not read or understand as the framers of the constitution understood them, anyway.
