Happy New Year!!!
To everyone who has supported me through this endeavor, to Bryan Calvert my blogging partner, and to my beautiful wife Renae (shameless plug for her blog), I say thank you! I wish you all love, happiness, and health in this new year.
May God bless each of you.
With the words of the great James Madison, we look forward to November.
What is to be the consequence, in case the Congress shall misconstrue this part [the necessary and proper clause] of the Constitution and exercise powers not warranted by its true meaning, I answer the same as if they should misconstrue or enlarge any other power vested in them…the success of the usurpation will depend on the executive and judiciary departments, which are to expound and give effect to the legislative acts; and in a last resort a remedy must be obtained from the people, who can by the elections of more faithful representatives, annul the acts of the usurpers. – Federalist No. 44, January 25, 1788

Hi,I’m taking some time to write you a comment. I hope you don’t mind I’ve bookmarked your page, your post is really helpful for me. Zoe x
I would agree except that the incoming newbies several years ago–the democrat conservative blue dogs–wre not much better. The system favors entrenched incumbents that build up power in committees and drive the agenda. Term limits would help but asking the power elite to give up their sword is silly. Voter outrage and turnover eventually is the only weapon and eventually will work. The constitution empowers from the bottom and America’s electorate has forgotten that to some degree–it is waking up; perhaps late, but better than nothing.
solid post , really good view on the subject and very well written, this certainly has put a spin on my day, many thanks from the USA and observe up the good work
I’ve been seeking all around for this info. Thank goodness I just uncovered this on Yahoo.

I don’t think Sarah Palin desires to be the leader of the Tea Party Gang. I don’t think the Tea Party requires or needs a leader. The Tea Party should have no particular political party to select from. What I think is that they will pick individuals rather of party tie. You can get politicians from neither position as long as they vote the path their electors desire them to vote.
Pretty good post. I found your site from Yahoo and I must say you have some interesting posts here. I hope you write often as I’ll be coming back for more!
I really like the fresh perpective you did on the issue. Really was not expecting that when I started off studying. Your concepts were easy to understand that I wondered why I never looked at it before. Glad to know that there’s an individual out there that definitely understands what he’s discussing. Great job
Although I would’ve preferred if you went into a little bit more detail, I still got the gist of what you meant. I agree with it. It might not be a popular idea, but it makes sense. Will definitely come back for more of this. Great work
Hey mate, greetings from New York!
