No, the US Constitution legitimizes the Federal Government. It was intended to be the rule for all future actions. Provisions were made for its amendment if it proved inadequate. To take actions not addressed in the Constitution violates the spirit of that document intended to limit government power.

That's inane. No 200+ year old document on the planet is relevant anymore.

| We meaning the US? You are aware of the hypocrisy of your statement, I hope. The US Gov is a source of tyranny: it is big government usurping powers not granted to it in a balanced system designed by masterful founders. The system is now seriously out of balance. Rebalancing is the citizen's task in a representative government. That is "fighting tyranny!" |
I don't feel that the government is tyrannical at all. I have my concerns -- gun control and drug enforcement -- but I fight back with my vote and my voice. I am fully aware that we as Americans have it pretty good.
Stalin, Pol Pot, Hitler, Karadzic -- those are your tyrants. The fact that you or I have to pay income tax is really not anything like tyrrany.
