Judge Napolitano Blasts Politicians on the Constitution

And is 100% correct. When I read the Constitution, and then see what politicians do, and Congress passes, I wonder ... is this some kind of cognitive dissonance? Do they see the same Constitution that I see? The same paper, the same words?!

This is not long and is a must-read.

Most Presidents Ignore the Constitution - WSJ.com: "The truth is that the Constitution grants Congress 17 specific (or 'delegated') powers. And it commands in the Ninth and 10th Amendments that the powers not articulated and thus not delegated by the Constitution to Congress be reserved to the states and the people. What's more, Congress can only use its delegated powers to legislate for the general welfare, meaning it cannot spend tax dollars on individuals or selected entities, but only for all of us. That is, it must spend in such a manner -- a post office, a military installation, a courthouse, for example -- that directly enhances everyone's welfare within the 17 delegated areas of congressional authority."
