It cost me $30.13 so that Trump could collect 63 cents in tariff revenue for the U.S. government. Yet according to Trump, his tariffs are making us rich. Only the government could do something this stupid.
Nullify Everything: The Only Way to Deal with Unconstitutional Acts

“An unconstitutional judicial decision is no more binding than an unconstitutional legislative act.”
With that one line, Lysander Spooner demolished the dangerous myth of judicial supremacy – the idea that a court’s opinion becomes law simply because judges say so.

🧵Top Democrats are scrambling for excuses about why they can't stop Trump's Iran war now, while they plan to vote to fund Hegseth to continue it
They're accepting Fox News framing that listening to voters and stopping war funding is somehow a political loss... for Dems!?🧵🧵
NEW: Senior Dems resist shutdown threat to end Iran war.
“I want the war to end. Would shutting down the gov make that more likely, or would it just hand the Republicans a political victory while the war continues?” said Rep. Adam Smith

Madison reiterated that his job as president was to RECOMMEND the proper steps to congress and that his DUTY was to abide by their decision:
"In recommending it to their early deliberations I am happy in the assurance that the decision will be worthy the enlightened and patriotic councils of a virtuous, a free, and a powerful nation."

“Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

In his 1812 War Message to Congress, the "father of the Constitution" acknowledged that the British were in an active state of war against the United States because they were aggressively attacking Americans at sea:
"We behold, in fine, on the side of Great Britain, a state of war against the United States"
HOWEVER. This DID NOT automatically give the president the power to wage war in response.
In fact, he noted that while he had the power to repel those attacks as they happened - the US was NOT in a state of war in response:
"on the side of the United States a state of peace toward Great Britain."

BREAKING: The Constitutionality Index has now scored every law in the history of the United States. 48,000 laws dating back to 1789.
So far as I'm aware, I'm the first one to ever attempt such a thing.
And we've now ranked every president based on the percentage of laws they enacted were constitutional. The results largely track the overall historical trend: As we move from the founding to the modern era, the percentage of unconstitutional legislation increases.
In fact, 1937 is the tipping point. Pre-FDR's New Deal, every president — Federalist, Whig, Republican, Democrat — scores 98 to 100%. After the New Deal, the average percentage of constitutional laws (by page) drops to 31 percent.
As a result, presidents of the last few decades find themselves at the bottom of the rankings. @JoeBiden is officially the least constitutional president, although Trump isn't far behind. Only Thomas Jefferson scored a perfect 100 percent.
I've also scored congresses, & @SpeakerJohnson's current Congress is, from the perspective of the Constitution, the worst Congress in American history. Constitutional legislation stands at 56.3 by total count, & just 4.3% by total legislative pages.
Another important finding: The largest laws in American history are, every one of them, unconstitutional.
Check it out & let me know what you think. (Links below)

ALEXANDER HAMILTON vs DONALD TRUMP on war powers under the constitution.
The biggest, big-government guy of the founding - the one who wanted a PRESIDENT for life - said the executive branch ONLY has the unilateral power to employ military force when repelling an attack - while it happens.
"repel force by force, (but not to capture), and to repress hostilities within our waters including a marine league from our coasts."
Anything beyond that? REQUIRES CONGRESS.
"Any thing beyond this must fall under the idea of reprisals & requires the sanction of that Department which is to declare or make war."
When you're WAY more of a monarchist than Hamilton, you are unfit for office.

Republicans are leftists when it comes to the constitution.
Especially on war powers. rather than looking to what the founders said during the ratification debates and DID to implement those powers - they look to precedent that has been set since then, mostly modern precedent.
And governing by precedent is - as Thomas Paine told us - VILE.
They also actively LIE about what the founders said and did.
