The New Justice

The Founding Fathers of the United States conceived of our Constitution to limit the power of the national (Federal) government and give all but the few enumerated powers reserved to central government to each of the several states, except for those individual God-given rights enshrined by the first ten Amendments known collectively as the Bill of Rights. The authority of the Federal government was supposed to be modest and forever restrained by the Constitution. Yesterday, the very values of our nation's foundation were torn away at their core. The power of government to interfere in our lives is no longer limited. Our Federal masters now have unlimited coercive control over our very mortality. There are sixties and seventies radicals who used to rail against "the man" who just authored legislation to broaden the scope of what "the man" can do to us and our families in an unprecedented and unbelievable way.
