The people have the ultimate say. They are the ones who will eventually be shedding blood to claim their rights against a tyrannical state.

@rufusmucus "Don't be afraid of your own shadow." So, I'm not afraid in that manner, but the goverment is by no means my own shadow. Neither is it my "family" or "friend". Goverments are institutions directed by citizens, but they can also be used / use other citizens to trample on a rights / freedoms of a miniority.
Nazism, faschism or communism are not the only ways to limit once freedom. They are just marginally different extremes of authoritarianism. - And all humans love authority.

@rufusmucus Well I didn't really say it was. You just made the assumption.
And I wouldn't say that I'm afraid of any goverment or individual in particular.
I'm not a conspiracy lunatic like that Tuscon shooter or a lot of other people here on youtube actually are.
But you would be wise not to trust goverment more than or even equal to how much you trust yourself.
"There is no one in government trying to dominate you." Who knows ? There has *allways* been such people - Through out history.

@ToxinalX I think you are getting a little carried away here. The US government isn't anything like that. Don't be so afraid. When city or state government tramples all over you, you always turn to the Feds for justice. There is no one in government trying to dominate you. Don't be afraid of your own shadow. Don't let people who are scarred to death of every little thing in their life scare you to be like them. Show some courage. I became a fan of your You Tube page.

@rufusmucus Another way to put it is:
If you would trust your goverment - a group of *individuals* that you probably don't know verry well - to run your *own personal economy*, to rule *you* as your nanny and and at the same time be your judge whenever you choose to *question* your nanny, then by all means - Goverment ought to do a lot more. For you that is.
"No such thing as the tenth amendment"?!
Any other part of the constitution you wish to simple ignore?
What the supremacy clause actually says is that: "This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made IN PURSUANCE THEREOF; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land"
In other words, any law passed by the US must FIRST jive with the constitution in order to be the supreme law of the land.

@MrPloppy1 Of course there is the 10th Amendment. However, listen to what I said in the video. "At any given time, the government can overrule any state law". Under the Articles of Confederation our Founding Fathers realized that each state was forming into their own independent nation. Over time, America would be like Europe with different states waging war on each other. Article 6, Section 2, insures national unity. The Supreme Court has made this principle true. (out of space) Reply for more.
