Title: The Constitution in Exile
Subtitle: How the Federal Government Has Seized Power by Rewriting the Supreme Law of the Land
First published: April 18, 2006
Description: The Constitution permits Congress to regulate interstate commerce which, as Fox News analyst Judge Napolitano proves, has opened the floodgates of federal abuse, as the government trounces on state and individual rights, expanding its reach far beyond what the Framers intended. With no-nonsense clarity, Napolitano shows that Congress has "purchased" regulations by bribing states-giving huge amounts of taxpayer dollars on condition that states enact regulations of human behavior that Congress prefers but cannot legislate. Tapping into the intense distrust of activist judges, Napolitano also explains how the Supreme Court has devised historically inaccurate, logically inconsistent, and even laughable justifications to approve what Congress has done.
