Why the Tenth Amendment?
So, by the name of our center everyone can tell we emphasize the Tenth Amendment, but why? The Ninth Amendment is a much more powerful statement (in support of liberty) in the Constitution: “The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.” That’s Natural Rights!!!

Krysia Weidell, candidate for MN SD67, on the 10th amendment
The following video is an interview by radio talk show host Sue Jeffers of KTLK 100.3 in the Twin Cities. She is talking with MN State Senate candidate Krysia Weidell. What a blessing to have a candidate of this caliber stepping up! We the People need more candidates of this caliber if we ever hope [...]
What If This Were Bush?
cross-posted from The Beacon It goes without saying that if Bush had presided over a phony end to the Iraq war, expanded the Afghanistan war, extended its reach into Pakistan, solidified the state secrets doctrine and claimed in no uncertain terms the right to assassinate American citizens without due process, the left would be up [...]
The Tenth Amendment Coalition
I’m not sure how you can have a Tenth Amendment web site without linking to the Tenth Amendment Center, but there it is. The videos are interesting, anyway. A couple Beltway insiders talking about the Tenth Amendment. http://restorethetenth.org/ Part 1 Part 2 cross-posted from the Pennsylvania Tenth Amendment Center
The GOP’s Pledge to America
The House Republicans’ release of its “Pledge to America” has been met with criticism from across the ideological spectrum. While excoriation from the left was inevitable, those who were hoping that the GOP would set out a detailed agenda for limiting government were also not satisfied. The 48-page document contains more pictures of Republican members [...]

The Rightful Remedy
On Saturday, Sept. 25, Kentucky 10th Amendment Center chapter coordinator Mike Maharrey spoke at a freedom rally on the steps of the state capitol building in Frankfort. He discussed the Kentucky Resolution of 1798, emphasizing that states pushing back against overreaching federal power is not some radical or extremist idea, but the very remedy the [...]
An Update on the Utah Nullification Project
On Independence Day weekend just a couple months ago, I was reading Tom Woods’ new book Nullification: How to Resist Federal Tyranny in the 21st Century. As I was reading through the excellent book, I had a realization: if the subject matter was to have any impact on our current political landscape, it needs to [...]
Nullify Now in Orlando, 10-10-10
Be sure to attend the great Nullify Now event scheduled for October 10 in Orlando. I’ll be speaking, as will Gary Johnson (former governor of New Mexico), and many others. Will be a great time — well, for people with open minds, that is. The “shut up and obey” crowd won’t like it much.
A Doorway to Hell
In an earlier article for this website I’ve written about the non-coercion principle and how it is connected to individual liberty and morality itself. I laid out the reasons why moral rules that we hold dear are really products of individual liberty by using the imagery from Lord of the Rings. It was a little [...]

The Party System is Being Trumped by the Constitution
The GOP is showing its true colors as the Tea Party continues to throw the old guard out in primary elections. They are taking the ball and going home. They are giving up a number of fights by withholding money from the duly elected candidates in the Republican Primaries. It is a circle the wagon [...]

Have we reached a Hamiltonian Endpoint?
In the field of Economics there is a term commonly used to express the sheer hopelessness of our current predicament, it’s “Keynesian Endpoint.” Supposedly, this is the point where our society is so deeply in debt that any amount of further borrowing to “stimulate” only causes counter-stimulative effects. That is, borrowing 50 billion more to [...]
Rejoice: Rick Sanchez Will Tell Us What To Think
Isn’t that a relief? In his latest instruction to the masses, CNN’s Rick Sanchez calls “states’ rights” a “racist” term. Now leaving aside the objection that “states don’t have rights; people do” (the term is merely a kind of shorthand, after all), Sanchez is of course in his Enforcer role here, letting us all know [...]
What’s to Celebrate?
I did not celebrate Constitution Day September 17, primarily because I did not know how to do so. The Federal Government requires the college where I work to do something on that day to qualify for it’s Title IV grant for which, if people really read the document, they would find no authority. I was [...]

Wheat, Weed, and ObamaCare
From Reason.TV – “How the Commerce Clause Made Congress All-Powerful”
Are the Editors of the Washington Times Reading TAC?
A quick glance at their recent op-ed – States tell Obama to Take a Hike – it seems pretty obvious that they’re at least getting the message. Here’s an excerpt: Arizona, Georgia, Idaho, Louisiana, Missouri and Virginia have opted out of an even larger slice of Obamacare by rejecting the health coverage mandate. The anti-Obamacare [...]
