We must restore constitutional government

[P@triot]

Such is the ignorant nonsense of the TPM and others on the ridiculous right. The United States is currently functioning under Constitutional government, nothing needs to be ‘restored’ – the notion is moronic, baseless idiocy.

Come on stupid....tell us again how "the United States is currently functioning under Constitutional government". You know that's a blatant lie. You know nearly everything you say is a blatant lie. You know you tell these blatant lies because you have an agenda - advancing a failed ideology.

"Republicans mounted the lawsuit two years ago and charged that President Obama was going outside the powers granted to him under the Constitution by spending money Congress hadn’t appropriated."

Our government violates the Constitution routinely at every level. Sure, a lot of what they do can be twisted into being "Constitutional" but they clearly DO violate the original intent that our founders laid out, and they do it often. It's just that over the years, those who have sought to subvert it have found ways to chip away at it, change people's minds about what things mean, convince people that it's supposed to be "flexible" and applicable to "the times". They create crises to exploit and then use fear to get the people to give up a little of their freedom voluntarily.
The founders gave us the tools we need to stop it but we loaned those tools out to the enemy and now the enemy is using them to enslave us all, little by little. And we'll never get them back.

Well, not.if.we.don't try, at.least.

Arguably not since 1803, but certainly not since the 1860s.

All states need to reassert their authority under the 10th Amendment.

In my opinion, the states were stripped of their authority when the Seventeenth Amendment was adopted. That amendment stripped the states of representation in Washington. Instead of the state legislatures electing their Senators, the popular vote elects their Senators creating just another, but smaller, House of Representatives.

I'm not sure how I feel about that one. Part of me understands that view. But part of me says, as a constituent, I want more voice/power over the people representing me in Washington.

"The case centers on the Obama administration's payment of subsidies to insurance providers for providing cost-sharing reductions to certain policyholders. There’s just one problem: Congress explicitly refused to appropriate funds for these subsidies."

Aside from the painfully obvious (that Obamacare itself is indisputably 100% unconstitutional), Congress controls the purse strings by law. Old Barry is violating the Constitution with his Obamacare subsidies. Your asinine premise that we are "functioning under Constitutional government" is something that not even the most deranged of libtards believes. But you certainly enjoy spreading that false premise anyway, don't you?

Obama Administration Loses Key Obamacare Case

“[Virginians] know and value too highly the blessings of their Union … to consider every infraction [of the Constitution] as to be met by actual resistance. They respect too affectionately the opinions of those possessing the same rights under the same instrument to make every difference of construction a ground of immediate rupture. They would, indeed, consider such a rupture as among the greatest calamities which could befall them; but not the greatest. There is yet one greater–submission to a government of unlimited powers.” - Thomas Jefferson (December 26, 1825)

Stopped when Obama was elected, won't happen if Hillary is elected.

A bunch of right wing loons want to roll back government more than 200 years?

They are as stupid as protectionist.

 

[Old Rocks]

And that is why they have lost the last two elections for the GOP.

 

[Billy_Kinetta]

They lost because of weak candidates and media control over the opinions of educationally-disabled Americans.

No. They lost because the educated Americans rejected the far right positions of the GOP.

'We must restore constitutional government'

...and the Rule of Law.

Won't happen until Barry is out and Hillary is kept out.

 

[Mac1958]

The people tasked with enforcing our laws are the same people violating our most important laws....

Okay, so how do you go about doing this?

It can only be by electing people with whom you agree. How do you plan on convincing enough of the electorate to vote with you?

Your opinion is debunked based on the historic, record-setting ass kicking liberals received in the 2014 election. Liberal 'rule', non-representative govt, and Barry's policies and agenda - which HE declared was what that election was all about - were soundly REJECTED.

Liberal turnout was near record lows and so far during the primaries it is being reported the turnout has only decreased.

 

[Centinel]

A Federal government afforded by the Constitution powers both expressed and implied (McCulloch v. Maryland (1819)).

Congress' legislative powers are listed in Art I, section 8 and in various amendments. Congress has no legislative powers beyond those enumerated.

 

[Centinel]

The liberterian idea of constitutional government is a government that is powerless to do the will of the people and does only shit that they want. Liberterians and far right conservatives are a bunch of fascist assholes. Simply meaning that they think by the people means that the government should be so limited that the people shouldn't be able to elect a government that does more then sit on its dick.

The federal government should only make laws that are necessary and proper to carry into execution it's enumerated legislative powers. Otherwise, it is acting beyond it's constitutional powers.

And yet you claim to be Republican?

Any confusion as to sex assignment?

Those are bi elections and are always dominated by the small core cadre, which fall away in importance in the large elections.

You can hope you are right, but you are not.

You are confused that we have a mainstream GOP that despises the far right wacks?

Centinel's nonsense is noted. This is 2016 not 1789.
