Wolves in Sheeps' Clothing?

Post by pritchet1 »

Connor Boyack of the Utah Tenth Amendment Center wrote;

...If the Tenth Amendment Task Force is to be perceived as legitimate and worthy of our collective support, its members—and especially its founder—must demonstrate that they have changed. Further still, the fact that all of its members are Republican signifies that not until the GOP is in control of Congress and the executive branch will such a demonstration be sincere; it’s easy to be the “party of no” when the other party is calling the shots. Rep. Bishop and his Republican colleagues who have been around for a while have far worse voting records when their own party was in control.

Despite all of the above, Tenthers everywhere should welcome and encourage legislation from this group that makes a positive impact in reducing the size and scope of the federal government. If they are successful to any degree in restraining their colleagues and returning stolen power to the states, then we will applaud them loudly.

Until that time, a word of caution. As the Task Force’s founder has a very questionable voting record in regards to the Tenth Amendment’s clear language, and since his colleagues have voted similarly on many bills, this group of politicians should be kept at arm’s length and made to prove themselves. Actions speak louder than words. So, too, do voting records speak louder than press releases.
So has the 10 Amendment Center been compromised? Apparently so.

Please keep your references straight. :) The Tenth Amendment Center has not been compromised -- the Tenth Amendment Task Force has.
