Random

Until I have something more profound to say, this is a place holder and introduction.

I am a Federalist in the spirit of James Madison, who believes that tyranny can arise from either state or federal governments, that it can be more difficult to prevent or overthrow tyranny in a smaller political unit, such as a state, than a larger unit, such as a nation, and that states rights have nothing whatsoever to do with individual liberties.

I believe that the better way to show respect for the holy name of Jesus would be not to insert it into legislative enactments.

I believe, as Justice Hugo Black put it, that when the constitution says "Congress shall pass no law" it means "Congress shall pass NO law" on a forbidden subject.

Naturally, I find The Federalist Society in its modern deformed incarnation to be anathema to the Constitution of the United States of America. It is generally full of men who would have been loyal to King George III had they lived in 1776.
