MEMBER & GUEST INTERACTION SECTION > THE CONSTITUTION
And some citizens want to get rid of it...
Eric Bosworth:
--- Quote from: Michael Bush on January 26, 2015, 03:28:29 pm --->that the government only has certain powers and they are divided between the branches...
And they have forgotten that "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"
--- End quote ---
I couldn't have said that better... It's like the 10th amendment just jumped into your post...

not just the suprems. look at what congress has done over the last few years. they basically ceded power to the executive branch and through the exec, to the alphabet agencies.
we have 1/3 of our government that voted "present" for the last 6 years.

If the supreme court would read the constitution and the bill of rights with the intent our founders had in mind, and not the way their political backers or PCer want, we all would be a lot better off. -Mike :angry:
Silverback:
Congress gave all powers to the executive branch through the Emergency war powers act and trading with the enemies act as amended in 1933. Every president since has continued the "emergency" through 1974. And it continues today. That act gave ALL power the the president including determining when the emergency is over.

We call that "separation of powers"... ;)
