US Congress is Rogue


The US Congress has refused to comply with the US Constitution (as written) since 1872, when it authorized the federal government seizure 3,471 square miles of land with 96% in Wyoming and established Yellowstone National Park, without filing the required Amendment for State ratification.

The US Constitution restricted the federal government from owning land beyond what it needed to function.  Congressional compliance with the US Constitution continued to decline as it used a tortured Supreme Court opinion to open the Commerce Clause to allow the federal government to weigh in on everything and ignore the 10th Amendment.  Now Congress has assumed too much power and has unsustainable debt and unfunded liabilities to show for their unconstitutional acts.

Congress needs to reassert the US Constitution (as originally written), move to compliance with their “enumerated powers” and file the overdue Amendments required to expand its powers legally. Those expansion of powers Amendments that fail to be ratified by the States should result in the transfer of these powers back to the States and the People under the 10th Amendment.

Despite the fact that 80% of the States elected Donald Trump in 2016 based on his Agenda, we have 80% of Congress with Failing Grades based on their votes. There is something wrong with the voters and the political processes in the States and Districts with these low scores.

In Georgia, the Party Establishments don’t allow reformers to win their primaries and Black Districts pressure voters to vote Democrat and they all score low.
