Take Back The Power

 

How We Hope To Take Back The Power

The key to Taking Back The Power which the federal government ("FedGov") has unconstitutionally taken from the states is to make the state governments, primarily legislators, realize that it is their right and responsibility to rein in an unconstitutional FedGov. We seek to make state governments realize:

  • The states are the boss of FedGov. FedGov was created by the states to serve them.
  • The Constitution contains the rules for the operation of FedGov.
  • If there's a question as to what the rules mean, it's up to the boss, not the hired help, to say what those rules mean.
  • When FedGov oversteps its authority, the boss needs to take corrective action.
  • The states need to overturn FedGov actions which exceed the authority granted to FedGov by the Constitution.

We leave it to the states to figure out how to rein in FedGov. We'll offer suggestions, but ultimately, each state must decide for itself and its citizens how to go about overturning unconstitutional laws and regulations.

"The constitution, on this hypothesis, is a mere thing of wax in the hands of the judiciary, which they may twist and shape into any form they please."

Thomas Jefferson

"A judicial activist is a judge who interprets the Constitution to mean what it would have said if he, instead of the Founding Fathers, had written it."

Sam Ervin

"How strangely will the Tools of a Tyrant pervert the plain Meaning of Words!"

Samuel Adams

"Day by day, case by case, the court is busy redesigning a Constitution for a nation I do not recognize."

Justice Antonin Scalia
