“The right to be free from federal regulations is not absolute, and yields to the imperative that Congress be free to forge national solutions…”
The above quote, which in its entirety is, “The right to be free from federal regulation is not absolute, and yields to the imperative that Congress be free to forge national solutions to national problems, no matter how local—or seemingly passive—their individual origins,” was written by Judge Laurence Silberman, a Reagan appointee, regarding today’s D.C. federal court ruling upholding the Constitutionality of ObamaCare.
Question: If the right to be free from federal regulation is not absolute, and yields to the imperative that Congress be free to forge national solutions to national problems, no matter how local—or seemingly passive—their individual origins, as the judge so eloquently puts it is in fact the new dynamic of our once-free nation, then what protects us from tyranny?
What if Congress deems that unabridged free speech (aka “hate speech” in progressive land) is a national problem requiring a “national solution?” How about the current madness surrounding obesity? Gun ownership? Private property rights? The list goes on.
Why did the Founding Fathers even give congress enumerated powers? Do you know what enumerated means?
Why even bother?
Why not just be ruled by our “betters” in Washington D.C. at every point in our lives at the barrel of a gun?
Remember this?
It all makes sense now. Welcome to tyranny. It’s been a long way coming.
