The Tenth Amendment…

The Federal Government, as currently embodied by the Obama and friends appears to be running into a few roadblocks here and there. It seems that a few states are actually asserting their authority, or at least sending messages that they will do so, and based upon the Constitution of the United States no less.

Washington joins Montana, and Oklahoma now in seeking to bring the Federal Government into check. Tread carefully is my advice. The last time that states really did assert their power resulted in the bloodiest war this nation has ever known. Even Arizona is getting into the act now!

Laws too gentle are seldom obeyed; to severe, seldom executed.
Benjamin Franklin
US author, diplomat, inventor, physicist, politician, & printer (1706 – 1790)

    Yes, Patrick, they would be. Many of Mr. Jefferson’s statements are very apropos to the current state of the US government – and very, very few of them would sit well with those currently in office.

    Lack of sleep lends itself to poor accuracy. Get some rest! 😀
