Posts Tagged ‘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
