Description
Fedzilla vs. the Constitution traces the largely successful effort to turn a federal government given limited, enumerated tasks by the Constitution into a large and powerful monolith. Issue by issue, the book shows how it was done, starting with the administration of George Washington and continuing through the Obama Administration. The book argues that Washington's Secretary of the Treasury, Alexander Hamilton, was disingenuous in supporting ratification of the Constitution as setting limits on federal power, then turning around once in office to expand the federal government. Hamilton is called the Father of Crony Capitalism for creating the first Bank of the United States and the Father of Bailouts for his role in the Panic of 1792. The author challenges prevailing legal thinking with criticisms of venerable Supreme Court decisions, starting with those of Chief Justice John Marshall, and continuing up to those of Chief Justice John Roberts.
After tracing the "tricks of the trade" that federal power players have used to expand the government, the book offers arguments for why we need to put Fedzilla on a constitutional weight-loss diet. Its remoteness from the people and undemocratic composition, as compared to the states, and its ability to damage the entire nation with its bungling, as compared to initiatives by only one state, are among the reasons for shrinking Fedzilla back into its constitutional britches. The third part of the book offers "recipes" for a constitutional weight-loss diet.
