We’ve seen this time and time again: the people who’ve called Trump a dictator, a Fascist, “literally Hitler” are now upset that Trump is not Declaring Things. Here’s The Bulwark’s resident unhinged Lefty, because a conserving conservative site needs that, right? (via Twitchy)

Is this called Federalism? Did she just discover the 10th Amendment?

Seriously, this is the way it’s supposed to work. The duties of the federal government are laid out in the Constitution, and the restrictions on Los Federales are laid out in the initial 10 Amendments. These are our founding documents. There’s a reason they are called states, namely because they are as big as old world European nations. When the leader of a foreign nation comes to the U.S., what do they call them? Chief of state. We know that the federal government was meant to bind us together, and given certain duties, such as setting monetary policy.
Heck, we can even invoke the 9th
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
As much as I’d love to write a dissertation long post on this subject, you either know it or don’t, and I shan’t bore you with it.
