A sweeping national discussion centers on the proper scale of government. The issue, amid broader political shifts, asks how large federal activities should be and how to balance national needs with budgetary realities over a multi year period.
The piece argues for Rep. John Shadegg's Enumerated Powers Act to force bills to cite the constitutional power authorizing federal action. Supporters see it as a restraint on expansive legislation and a prompt for lawmakers to engage with the Constitution, while critics warn it could be token boilerplate or hinder needed programs.
Syndicated columnist compares government to an abusive partner and folds in critique of liberalism. He argues the state grows by forced sacrifice, mocks calls for more laws, contrasts pre Civil War debates, and laments a dull doom in modern politics. Sobran, Arlington, Virginia, author and columnist, anchors the piece.
The piece links the 24th Roe v Wade anniversary to activism by Hillary Clinton, then covers the Amy Grossberg and Brian Peterson case in Delaware. It questions culture shifts after Roe, discusses infanticide, abortion rights, and societal attitudes toward life, urging reflection on responsibility and ethics.
