-Caveat Lector- I couldn't agree with Mr. Dutter more! visit my web site at http://www.voicenet.com/~wbacon My ICQ# is 79071904 for a precise list of the powers of the Federal Government linkto: http://www.voicenet.com/~wbacon/Enumerated.html ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sun, 20 May 2001 10:18:12 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: SNET: Bogus Claims of Unconstitutionality -> SNETNEWS Mailing List I would suggest some folks read about the concept of "enumerated powers" and read the writings of the founders wrt the tenth Ammendment. The Federalist papers and Madisons notes on the debates of the constitutional convention are particularly apropos. The STATES have the power to make law in any concievable direction where the STATE legislative votes are available to get such passed unless in contradiction to enumerated Federal Powers. It is the FEDERAL sphere of powers that was purposely limited to ONLY what was stated in the constitution. The understanding of the fathers was that the Feds were specifically limited to powers directly given in the constitution or that could be clearly connected to those powers. The Feds are specifically prohibited from having carte blanche levels of power. A single centralized authoritarian govenment ruling on every sphere of life like the current Federal system was anathema to the founders. What is the CONSTITUTIONAL foundation for FEDERAL mandates wrt the environment? There has to be a demonstrated direct connection to an ENUMERATED power for a FEDERAL law to be constitutional. The subjective label of "bogus" is not objective evidence. What is the constitutional basis for your objection Steve? Because the 10th Ammendment clearly means that powers not specifically mentioned in the constitution or powers not directly connected to an enumerated power are by definition unconstitutional, and reserved for lower levels of government. Where is the direct connection Steve?
