I’m sure that if you’ve read my rantings here you’ve figured out by now that I think the federal government has amassed considerably more power than it was ever authorized under the constitution. I’d like to see a return to the government our constitution authorized.

I’d also like to think that I’m a realist. It just isn’t going to happen in my lifetime. At least, not without more people thinking about what the constitution actually says instead of what they want it to mean.

Our constitution was designed to limit the powers of the federal government to only those necessary to bind the states into a single nation so that it could put a unified face before the world. Governance and provision for the people was a power that was left to the states.
