The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Constitution is reminding me of what our government was conceived to be.
What law students learn as “constitutional law” is merely a series of Supreme Court (which effectively usurped power from the states and blurred the line separating powers) decisions and little or no review of English and colonial forerunners to our Constitution or the ratification debates (crucial for understanding original intent).
The original understanding has been lost, even to so-called “originalist†conservative justices. Homosexual “marriage,” abortion, state-sponsored school prayer — all of these issues and more fall within the purview of the states, not the federal government.
More later. In the meantime, check out State-Sponsored School Prayer and the Constitution.
