When it comes to Common Core, Jeb Bush thumbs his nose at our Constitution and is an advocate of Common Core which subtly, and in violation of our Constitution, is designed to have our federal government seize control over public school systems established under state constitutions. The control is acquired by dolling out federal revenue to the states for a function not authorized by our Constitution with strings attached to accomplish the whims and fancies of political appointees assigned to the despotic Federal Department of Education, which ought to be closed down, not enlarged!
An example of how federal control is achieved is found in the Race to the Top (RTTT) program that allocated $4.35 billion for states to share in who agree to adopt a number of federal mandates. What Jeb Bush ignores, just as President Obama, is our Founders were staunch advocates of preserving federalism, our Constitution’s plan, and forbid our federal government to meddle in a state’s internal affairs, and that includes a state’s public school system. Federalism is summarized in Federalist Paper No. 45 as follows:
“The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which last the power of taxation will, for the most part, be connected.
The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State.
So, will Jeb Bush be asked by our Establishment media to step forward and tell us what part of the Tenth Amendment does he not understand when it comes to federal involvement in public school systems adopted under state authority?
How about Jeb Bush being asked to step forward and tell us under what provision of our federal Constitution is our federal government authorized to tax and spend on public school systems adopted under state Constitutions? Of course, the exercise of such power has never been granted to our federal government but Jeb Bush, as does President Obama, is just fine with ignoring our written Constitution, usurping power not granted, and he wants to impose his will upon the States in violation of the text and legislative intent of our Constitution. Do we really want another usurper in our White House?
With respect to our federal Constitution and its delegated powers as applied to education we find Delegate Charles Pickney, on August 18th of the Convention of 1787, proposed a broad power "To establish seminaries for the promotion of literature and the arts and sciences". But this proposal was rejected by the Convention in favor of a limited grant of power expressed in Article 1, Section 8, Cl.8, of the proposed constitution. The limited power, later agreed upon by ratification of our Constitution authorizes Congress "[t]o promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts...” And how may this be done? The Constitution continues: "...by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries." So where, Mr. Jeb Bush, is the power granted to our federal government to tax and spend to promote Common Core in public school systems created under State Constitutions?
And if the above is not sufficient evidence to establish the distain for our Constitution which Jeb Bush openly displays, let us recall the powerful words spoken by Representative Page before Congress on Feb., 7th, 1792:
"The framers of the Constitution guarded so much against a possibility of such partial preferences as might be given, if Congress had the right to grant them, that, even to encourage learning and useful arts, the granting of patents is the extent of their power. And surely nothing could be less dangerous to the sovereignty or interest of the individual States than the encouragement which might be given to ingenious inventors or promoters of valuable inventions in the arts and sciences. The encouragement which the General Government might give to the fine arts, to commerce, to manufactures, and agriculture, might, if judiciously applied, redound to the honor of Congress, and the splendor, magnificence, and real advantage of the United States; but the wise framers of our Constitution saw that, if Congress had the power of exerting what has been called a royal munificence for these purposes, Congress might, like many royal benefactors, misplace their munificence; might elevate sycophants, and be inattentive to men unfriendly to the views of Government; might reward the ingenuity of the citizens of one State, and neglect a much greater genius of another. A citizen of a powerful State it might be said, was attended to, whilst that of one of less weight in the Federal scale was totally neglected. It is not sufficient, to remove these objections, to say, as some gentlemen have said, that Congress in incapable of partiality or absurdities, and that they are as far from committing them as my colleagues or myself. I tell them the Constitution was formed on a supposition of human frailty, and to restrain abuses of mistaken powers.” Annals of Congress Feb 7th,1792 Rep Page
The fact is, the federal Department of Education and its current functions are in defiance of the defined and limited powers granted to Congress, and yet, Jeb Bush, like Obama, thumbs his nose at our Constitution in spite of the oath he took to support and defend it. So, will our big media ask Mr. Jeb Bush, what provision of our federal Constitution authorizes our federal government to tax and spend to advance “Common Core” in State created schools? Why does Jeb Bush ignore the will of the people as expressed in a written Constitution?

"The Constitution is the act of the people, speaking in their original character, and defining the permanent conditions of the social alliance; and there can be no doubt on the point with us, that every act of the legislative power contrary to the true intent and meaning of the Constitution, is absolutely null and void. ___ Chancellor James Kent, in his Commentaries on American Law (1858)
