This is the tyranny that Thomas Jefferson was asked to write about in the
DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. Do we need to republish it?
"If the federal government should overpass the just
bounds of its authority and make a tyrannical use of its powers, the people,
whose creature it is, must appeal to the standard they have formed, and take
such measures to redress the injury done to the Constitution as the exigency may
suggest and prudence justify."
--Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 33
