Close. It's Aeticle 1, Section 8. And I could care less. I have Reddit to play College Football Risk and to look at Warhammer miniatures people have painted, and lurk on lore pages. I follow some outdoor and prepping reddit, but that's about it!

If it doesn't fall under the 18 Enumerated Powers listed as being the purview of the Federal government, any law passed by Congress is an illegal act that violates the Constitution and the will of the people.

No, but it didn't massively grow the size of the Federal government, which is what I was talking about. There were definite cracks thar were beginning to foreshadow what was coming around then, but it wasn't until the first 10-20 years of the 20th Century that government exploded under the Fabian Socialist, Woodrow Wilson, and then later under FDR. LBJ was the nail in the coffin.

It's like I say, Republicans aren't doing much to repatriate you with your freedoms, but Democrats are the reason they've been eroded in the first place .

I wouldn't even say that. They are in lockstep with most of the radical ideologies. They just say it in nicer sounding platitudes and then vote for just about everything the progressives want. It's one big uniparty, and none of us are invited. There might be 50 elected "representatives" in the entirety of the federal government that actually try to do their jobs. The rest are bought and paid for by the rich and powerful and corporate interests.

I fall right where the American Founding Father's stood. Just enough government to keep things like interstate trade and travel running smoothly, and that's about it. Most everything else is governed by the individual States and localities, and the people themselves. Basically, how we governed ourselves for the first 120 or so years. That is what we were supposed to be conserving; not the ability of Congress to create a nanny welfare state. I haven't been a Republican basically ever, just an American and everything that was supposed to mean. The Democrat Party has been entirely subsumed at this point by groups that actively hate the ideals this country was meant to uphold and strive for.

Man, I didn't realize until just now that the Second Ammendment is immoral, and if you don't think so, mods will just curbstomp your First Ammendment so they can enjoy their Second Ammendment-free echo chamber.
