The Tenth Amendment: Our Sharpest Tool
If 91-A is one of NH’s sharpest tools in fighting local corruption, the Tenth Amendment Center, one of our tea party supporting groups in NH, is our best defense against the federal government.
Most of our state problems are due to unconstitutional meddling by the federal government (regionalism, education, gun control, and potentially election integrity — other states have been sued for endorsing voter ID laws for example.)
Recently Bill Moyers did a piece on the Tenth Amendment Center. The piece stated…
“…that nullification in general and the Tenth Amendment Center in particular are partisan in nature. Weisberger states that nullification “has as much to do with who holds the reins at a given moment as it does with the theoretical embrace of the separation of powers.”
This is what the group had to say about that.
“This accusation is wholly incorrect. Consider this: the Tenth Amendment Center was founded in June of 2006. Let’s think back to that time. Who was president? Republican George W. Bush. Who controlled the Congress? The Republicans. Who had the theoretical advantage in the Supreme Court? The Republicans. I don’t suppose that Weisberger would care to explain why such an allegedly partisan organization as the Tenth Amendment Center, whose sole interest in his view is to further the cause of Republicans, would form itself at the high-water mark of Republican power.”
