Trump: Touching Base With Our History

[PoliticalChic]

There are, of course, the very same trepidation about Mr. Trump as there were about Obama....no track record, untrained in politics, not a constitutional scholar, and, as far as is known, not a student of history.
Yet...some of the early moves, cabinet picks....seem to suggest better outcomes than expected.
He may just be the right man at the right time.....



1. America was not founded to be a monarchy....much less a dictatorship.
But the ascendant political philosophy, Liberalism, is, as is every totalitarian doctrine, based on a centralized government with all the power and no restrictions.

As are these versions: communism, socialism, Nazism, Fascism and Progressivism.

2. That's not America.

"Our Founders envisioned the states as laboratories of democracy and enshrined into our Constitution the principle of federalism. Under federalist principles, the American people endowed the national government with a defined set of limited, enumerated powers in the Constitution. Any powers beyond those specifically given to the federal government fall entirely within the province of the states. Federalism protects liberty by protecting against the overreaching of any one branch of our federal government, and is part of the uniquely American system of checks and balances."
Paloma Zepeda, "Reinventing the Right."


a. The idea that the reach of the federal government would be restricted to a few enumerated powers is articulated by Madison in Federalist No. 45:

"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."


b. And, further explaining the limitations on the federal government, we find the 10th amendment:
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.





3. Whether consciously or intuitively, the American people sensed that a Trump victory would nudge the nation back on the path blazed by our Founders, one in which power is shared between the federal government and the states.
How could he have recognized this, given his background....but Mr. Trump has chosen a strict states-rights task master to rule over the most blatant of the power-grabbing of agencies....the EPA.

4. "... Trump had barely finished announcing his pick to lead the Environmental Protection Agency before the left started listing its million reasons why Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt was the worst nomination in the history of the planet: He’s an untrained anti-environmentalist. He’s a polluter. He’s a fossil-fuel fanatic, a lobbyist-lover, a climate crazy.

5. Mr. Pruitt is not any of those things. Here’s what he in fact is, and the real reason the left is frustrated: He’s a constitutional scholar, a federalist (and a lawyer). And for those reasons he is a sublime choice to knock down the biggest conceit of the Obama era—arrogant, overweening (and illegal) Washington rule."
Trump’s Federalist Revival




A return to our heritage?
A government founded on federalism?

One can only hope.

Yup all through history the right president came along at the right time and this includes my distaste for Carter, Bill, Bush jr and Obama....

Those four were the perfect time and place for them to become president.



.

Carter and Obama came from Republican Presidents that the people were sick of.

And both are battling for the biggest loser...

Good point....Carter and Obama....the 'Battle for the Bottom!"

Hmmmm.....can we fit Buchanan in there??????

There is no room with Trump at the bottom. Too many tacky gold ornaments.

Perhaps I can suggest that you focus both of your cerebral neurons, and comment on the import of this thread....

...Federalism, and Scott Pruitt as the answer to the dictatorial EPA.


This might be your once a year actual contribution to a thread.....

Hopefully, President Trump's EPA pick will restore balance to the federal-state relationship.


6. ".... many Americans forget we are a federal republic, composed of 50 states. ....one-size-fits all solutions were detrimental to the environment. Federal bodies like the Environmental Protection Agency traditionally and properly existed to set minimum standards, provide technical support, and engage in occasional enforcement.
States, with their unique knowledge of local problems, economies and concerns, were free to innovate their own solutions.


There isn’t a major statute on the books that doesn’t recognize this reality and acknowledge that the states are partners with—and often superior to—the federal government. That is absolutely the case with major environmental statues, from the Clean Air Act to the Clean Water Act to the Safe Drinking Water Act.

... Obama never held much with laws, because he failed at making them. After his first two years in office, he never could convince the Congress to pass another signature initiative. His response—and the enduring theme of his presidency—was therefore to ignore Congress and statutes, go around the partnership framework, and give his agencies authority to dictate policy from Washington.

The states were demoted from partners to indentured servants." Trump’s Federalist Revival



"....The states were demoted from partners to indentured servants."

And, under the petty tyrant, individual Americans the same.

7. A large part of the problem with petty dictators like Obama, and even with agencies like the EPA is power. Human nature kicks in, and, having power tends to mean using it.


"While the officials in these agencies are generally good people, they become focused on their particular portfolio of duties, that, often, they cannot see the consequences on other parts of society. Put this together with human nature, and one can see bullying, and misuse of power, especially when these individuals are immune to penalty, and supported by free and extensive legal representation: they have sovereign immunity in their positions.
Freedom has often failed due to human nature, that is the impulse to exercise and to concentrate power. This understanding was covered, in the Constitution, by the ideas of balance of power, and that of federalism. Federalism meant the reserving for states and localities, entities closest to the people, those powers not specifically allocated to the federal government.


The principle of federalism has been virtually ruled out of existence. Encroachments by both the executive and by the legislature have been sanctioned by the courts. The change from the view of the framers can be seen since the New Deal."
James L. Buckley, “Freedom at Risk: Reflections on Politics, Liberty, and the State”


Enter President-elect Trump, and Scott Pruitt.....

...can they hold back the forces of totalitarianism?????



To paraphrase the Bard...

Or what strong hand can hold his swift foot back?
Or who his spoil of liberty can forbid?
O, none, unless this miracle have might,
That in black ink, the Constitution may still shine bright.

8. "One revealing illustration from EPA world. Under the Clean Air Act, states are allowed to craft their own implementation plans. If the EPA disapproves of a state plan, it is empowered to impose a federal one—one of the most aggressive actions the agency can take against a state, since it is the equivalent of a seizure of authority.


In the entirety of the presidencies of George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, the EPA imposed five federal implementation plans on states.

By last count, the Obama administration has imposed at least 56.


....Mr. Pruitt’s tenure as Oklahoma’s AG was about trying to stuff federal agencies back into their legal boxes." Trump’s Federalist Revival

Obama's EPA: a mirror image of the petty tyrant himself.



9. Mr Pruitt, as Oklahoma AG, authorized "state lawsuits against ObamaCare or the Clean Power Plan or the Water of the United States rule....The basis of nearly every one of these lawsuits was in fact violations of states' constitutional and statutory rights—and it is why so many of the cases were successful.

It was all a valiant attempt to force the federal government to follow the law. And it has been a singular Pruitt pursuit.
....after his 2010 election in Oklahoma, the new attorney general set up a “federalism unit” within his department to more effectively combat federal overreach." Ibid.

5. Mr. Pruitt is not any of those things. Here’s what he in fact is, and the real reason the left is frustrated: He’s a constitutional scholar, a federalist (and a lawyer). And for those reasons he is a sublime choice to knock down the biggest conceit of the Obama era—arrogant, overweening (and illegal) Washington rule."

A return to our heritage?
A government founded on federalism?

One can only hope.

What is the satisfaction dolts like you get from posts with no substance?

Or....is it that you really can't manage any substance?

It's better than a load of BS like your post always contains, hoping to drown out opposition with over production with poor literary merit in common sense or decency....Copy-n-paste, for those not acquainted with logic and reason..
Oh please tell me how the use of EO's are tyrannical when done by one side of the political sphere but not the other...Just because you back one side and not the other..

See.....now you are self-identified as a liar.

Everything I post is true, correct and accurate.


Unless you can show otherwise.

"Is not, isssss noootttttt!" doesn't count....you dunce.
