McCulloch v. Maryland

Equal Justice Under Law

McCulloch v. Maryland (2nd in a 4 part series).

Can states tax the operations of the federal government? In this unpopular decision, the Supreme Court dealt a great blow to a claim of states' rights by striking down a state's attempt to interfere with a legitimate federal activity.

Amazing. Replace "National Bank" with "National Health Care," and you have almost the same debate. Nothing new under the sun, so it seems.

A National Bank should be a given. It's truly amazing that it even took this landmark Supreme Court decision to definitively establish not only its authority, but its veracity within a democratic federal system. However, what is even more surprising are the primitives who roam the political landscape with M.D.'s that wish to wind back the clock regarding the Fed. Ron Paul is a charlatan. Maybe he should give this video a look-see before he goes on one of his "Constitutional" rants.

So...this is the famous 1816 McCulloch v. Maryland trial.

This country would have fallen apart long ago, if politically brilliant decisions like this did not preserve the Union, initially fragile and weak .
