Glenn Beck - States Test the 10th Amendment [2 of 2] - May 7, 2009

A discussion on the Glenn Beck show with Utah State Representative Carl Wimmer (R) and Texas State Representative Leo Berman (R) about legislation currently being proposed in their states which is similar to the recent Montana bill in which firearms and ammunition produced in that state will be exempt from all federal regulation and federal firearms laws. Utah is calling it the "Patrick Henry Caucus" and intends to take it to every state in the nation. This is a huge move for states and individual rights that is expected to go all the way to the Supreme Court for judgement. Judge Napolitano provides his opinion as well on how likely this is to be upheld by the current members of the Supreme Court.

Does anybody know to which 1930s Supreme Court case Napolitano was referring? I'm not familiar with that decision.

I believe you are asking about the Wickard case. Search on 'Wickard' on wikipedia. I'd post the link here, but YouTube doesn't allow it, I guess.

Some text from the wikipedia page:

Filburn was given notice of the allotment in July 1940 before the Fall planting of his 1941 crop of wheat, and again in July 1941, before it was harvested. Despite these notices Filburn planted 23 acres and harvested 239 bushels from his 11.9 acres of excess area.

Filburn argued that since the excess wheat he produced was intended solely for home consumption it could not be regulated through the interstate Commerce Clause.

This is good. Its about time people stand up and do something and start acting like they care about the constitution.

We have to make sure our own states step up to the plate with this. Montana started it, now Texas & Utah, keep it rolling people.

Glenn Beck is stealing information from Alex Jones, the real creator of true information, and Fox is adding lies!

jordinlovesnathan You are correct, however in order to go back to actual Constitutional States Rights system of Government over the federal government, You will have to repeal every law made since then, at least 40yrs of court decisions over turned simultaneously. The feds are calling this thing a "paper tiger." Scoffing as they pet their giant tank mounted flame thowers!

[jordinlovesnathan]

smallfish1960, the States already have and have always had their States Rights.....they're just asserting them now vocally. They were never lost.

I will Move to the first State to win Her Rights back from the Federal Government, and Die There, Fighting this Seven Headed Beast with ten Horns.
