Synopsis

This book is a compilation of essays I wrote explaining how federalism has been abandoned thanks to an all-powerful Supreme Court. When ratifying the Constitution, the states consented to a general government that had limited, enumerated powers, the remaining powers resting with the states. I take hot button issues and examine them from the perspective of what was promised when the Constitution was proposed and later ratified. My focus is on the First, Second, and Fourth Amendments, as well as criminal justice, and other topics that rile emotions and torment our souls.
