collectively established the structure of America’s
federal government, a government of limited
powers, all of which, without exception, are either
specifically enumerated in the Constitution or don’t
exist as powers to act by the federal government.
Any power, in fact, not specifically and actually
granted to the federal government by the
Constitution, is reserved as powers of the citizenry
or for the states to benefit their own citizens.
In other words, the Constitution sets forth the laws
of this land from which all other laws, statutes, and
court rulings arise. If any law of any state or if any
federal regulation violates or is incompatible with
the Constitution, it is rendered invalid and void
and, if necessary, struck down by uncompromised
and uncorrupted judges who are considered by our
founding documents to be the ultimate arbiters of truth.
Lawmakers, the legislative branch, elected by the
people, make laws. The judiciary branch ensures
those laws follow the Constitution, and the
executive branch executes them. When that system
gets out of balance, it means power has been
rerouted away from the people, putting American
exceptionalism and all that it stands for at grave risk.
