Rand Paul as President?
Long-time liberal commentator Michael Barone has commented on Fox Business that the Tea Party movement parallels that of the Sixties. The first major conference in Nashville last year did have the folksy qualities I first felt in the presence of Doc Watson and The Weavers back in Newport Rhode Island in the early 1960s. What [...]
Foundational principles
From time to time, people ask me to share my guiding principles. I can explain the foundational philosophy of the Tenth Amendment Center in a single sentence: Follow the Constitution, every issue, every time, no exceptions, no excuses. But some even deeper fundamental ideas led me to my involvement in TAC and drive my basic [...]
Defend the Guard!
AUGUSTA – State Rep. Aaron Libby has submitted a bill that would require Maine’s governor to withhold or withdraw approval of the transfer of the Maine National Guard to federal control unless Congress declares war. The measure has broad bipartisan support and has been referred to the Veterans and Legal Affairs Committee for its consideration. [...]
Mending our Illness
When looking at any sign advertising the price of gasoline or diesel fuel, the effect of the Obama administration’s drilling ban in the Gulf of Mexico could not be clearer. And the full scope of the troubles wrought by this ban encompasses more than higher fuel costs alone. Many seem to think that Louisiana and [...]

An Evening With the Lake Country Defenders of Liberty

Idaho Senate says no to federal health care
April 5, 2011, BOISE – On Tuesday, the Idaho Senate passed a bill that would effectively slow down implementation of the federal health care act in the state. Nicknamed the “grandson of nullification”, HB 298 passed the Senate 24-11. The House approved the measure in March, and the bill will head for the governor’s desk. [...]
North Dakota to DC: Back Off!
The North Dakota legislature has a message to send to Washington DC by passing House Concurrent Resolution 3015 (HCR3015) – cease and desist! The resolution passed the House in February by a vote of 57-36, and yesterday, the Senate concurred by a voice vote. From the text of the resolution: this resolution serves as notice [...]
Rand Paul Rises
It is interesting how well and how fast Rand Paul, the new senator from Kentucky, has fit in. He comes after long advance in the tail of his father Ron Paul, who might be considered the Father Abraham of the Tea Party Movement. His speeches on the Senate floor are thoughtful, informed with history and [...]
Help Reclaim Nevada’s Sovereignty
“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 [...]

The Heroic Mike Church
The Woods/Levin affair has doubtless grown tiresome, but special thanks to Mike Church, host of the Mike Church Show on Sirius/XM, for having me on to discuss the war powers issue, along with what I would tell Levin listeners if I had their attention. (I’m not quite at the top of my game at that hour of [...]
Changing to a “Legal” Gold & Silver Economy
Prof. Michael S. Rozeff recently wrote an article at LewRockwell.com entitled, ”Changing to a Silver Economy“. It’s an excellent exercise in thinking about how to return to an economy based on sound money: A libertarian in Columbia, South Carolina sent me a message recently. He works at a convenience store. He was interested in introducing silver [...]
Is health insurance “Commerce among the States?”
Behind the current constitutional debates over ObamaCare, there is an assumption that Congress has power to regulate health insurance as “Commerce among the States.” However, in various decisions over 150 years, the Supreme Court ruled that “insurance” was not within the Constitution’s definition of “Commerce.” Only a single aberrant Supreme Court case says it is. [...]
Texas to DC: Cease and Desist!

David Dewhurst and others held a news conference where they announced support for Texas concurrent resolutions demanding the federal government cease and desist from mandates beyond the scope of constitutionally delegated powers.

Number 16 on Deck? Delaware Senate Approves Medical Marijuana
By a vote of 18-3 yesterday, the Delaware State Senate approved Senate Bill 17 (SB17). The bill states that, with a doctor’s written recommendation, patients with certain serious or debilitating conditions that could be alleviated by marijuana would be allowed to possess up to six ounces of the drug. Senators approved the bill after adding [...]
Who’s the real hypocrite?
Some guy named Doug Thompson took a cheap shot at Ron Paul recently in an incoherent article titled “The Constitutional hypocrisy of Ron Paul.” From what I could gather, Thompson’s claim is that Ron Paul supports nullification and the 10th Amendment, therefore Ron Paul is a racist because a document published in 1956 called the Southern Manifesto once alluded to nullification. [...]
