If you are against the international U.S. empire, shouldn\u2019t you also recognize that the U.S. also operates a domestic empire over the states and the people? And shouldn\u2019t you be as strongly against Washington\u2019s domestic abuses and misuses of national power as you are against its international abuses and misuses of power?<\/p>\n

Of course, you should, if you are a consistent exponent of non-aggression.<\/p>\n

Bruce Fein\u00a0has condemned<\/a>\u00a0the international U.S. empire strongly. Yet, in\u00a0an essay<\/a>\u00a0dated Nov. 19, 2018 in\u00a0The American Conservative<\/em>, he takes Matthew Whitaker to task for deploring judicial review and the\u00a0Marbury v. Madison<\/em>\u00a0(1803) case that was taken as a precedent for it.<\/p>\n

Instead of seeing that Supreme Court authority of judicial review has completely undermined the Constitution through one outrageous ruling after another, in the process producing a domestic empire, Fein enshrines this authority:

\u201cJudicial review is to the rule of law what the Ten Commandments are to Judaism or Christianity. Without it, Congress, the President, and the States would decide the lawfulness of their own acts. They would be judges in their own cases.\u201d<\/p>\n

No, no, no. Judicial review\u00a0subverts<\/strong>\u00a0the rule of law. How else but by subversion could fiat money be imposed on a country whose Constitution demands metallic money? How else could be approved the power of Congress to stop a small Ohio farmer from raising wheat for his own consumption above the quota imposed by Congress?<\/p>\n

Tom Woods<\/a>\u00a0has already defended Whitaker\u2019s position on the score that\u00a0James Madison<\/a>\u00a0in\u00a0The Report of 1800<\/em>\u00a0spelled out the alternative to judicial review that\u2019s called…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
