Recently, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives enacted a new rule that requires all federal lawmakers, when introducing a new piece of legislation, to cite the specific "power or powers granted to Congress in the U.S. Constitution to enact the bill." We applaud the new leadership for ensuring greater adherence to our nation's founding charter. We are especially hopeful that this renewed commitment to constitutional principles will halt the growing federalization of crime. In Federalist 45, James Madison said that criminal justice - which he referred to as "the internal order .. of the state" - was among "the powers reserved to the several states" Similarly, Alexander Hamilton wrote in Federalist 17, "There is one transcendent advantage belonging to the province of the Stat...

IN the 1850s, on the steps of the Waco courthouse, Wallace Jefferson's great-great grandfather was sold. Today, Jefferson is chief justice of Texas' Supreme Court. The governor who nominated him also nominated the state's first Latina justice. Rick Perry, 61, the longest-serving governor in Texas history and, in his 11th year, currently the nation's senior governor, says these nominations are two of his proudest accomplishments. French cuffs and cowboy boots are, like sauerkraut ice cream, an eclectic combination, but Perry, who wears both, is a potentially potent candidate for the Republican presidential nomination because his political creed is uneclectic, matching that of the Republican nominating electorate. He was a "10th Amendment conservative" ("The powers not delegated to the Un...

The founders were hesitant to form a national government because they did not wish to replace one tyrant with another. Therefore, the necessity and form of a federal government was hotly debated in the colonies for years by some of the very best minds this nation has ever known. It was finally conceded that a national government was necessary, to perform a few of the tasks that the individual states could not accomplish separately. To ensure that the national government would never grow beyond those few enumerated duties and powers, the founders peppered the founding documents with limitations, assuring the states and the public that the federal government would never become the voracious monster it has in fact become. Specifically, the Ninth and Tenth Amendments to the Constitution, th...
