And here we have a quote that pretty much sums up why I am so incensed at the government in general and this administration in particular:

“A constitution defines and limits the powers of the government it creates. It therefore follows, as a natural and also a logical result, that the governmental exercise of any power not authorized by the constitution is an assumed power, and therefore illegal.”

–Thomas Paine, Constitutions, Governments, and Charters, 1805

You see, the government has been overstepping it’s bounds ever since it created the first Department to handle something that was not explicitly layed out in the constitution. Not sure WHICH Department it was, but two that jump to mind that are in existence without constitutional authority (and are, therefore, illegal) are the Departments of Education and Energy. Come to think of it, the Department of Revenue isn’t allowed, either. Nor is the Department of Transportation.

What other Departments can you think of that are not constitutionally justifiable?

Chat ya later…
