what about a plandemic treaty again?
Justice GRAY (Supreme Court of the United States) delivered the opinion of
the court:..The powers of government are delegated in trust to the United
States, and are incapable of transfer to any other parties. They cannot be
abandoned or surrendered. Nor can their exercise be hampered, when needed
for the public good, by any considerations of private interest. The
exercise of these public trusts is not the subject of barter or contract.

Justice ROBERTS (Supreme Court of the United States) delivered the opinion
of the Court:..From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a
government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly
granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are
reserved to the states or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the
contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted.[fn 18] The same proposition,
otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited. None to
regulate agricultural production is given, and therefore legislation by
Congress for that purpose is forbidden. It is an established principle that
the attainment of a prohibited end may not be accomplished under the
pretext of the exertion of powers which are granted.
"Should Congress, in the execution of its powers, adopt measures which are
prohibited by the constitution; or should Congress, under the pretext of
executing its powers, pass laws for the accomplishment of objects not
intrusted to the government; it would become the painful duty of this
tribunal, should a case requiring such a decision *69 come before it, to
say that such an act was not the law of the land." McCulloch v. Maryland, 4
Wheat. 316, 423.
"Congress cannot, under the pretext of executing delegated power, pass laws
for the accomplishment of objects not entrusted to the Federal Government.
And we accept as established doctrine that any provision of an act of
Congress ostensibly enacted under power granted by the Constitution, not
naturally and reasonably adapted to the effective exercise of such power
but solely to the achievement of something plainly within power reserved to
the States, is invalid and cannot be enforced." Linder v. United States,
268 U.S. 5, 17.
These principles are as applicable to the power to lay taxes as to any
other federal power. Said the court, in McCulloch v. Maryland, supra. U.S.
v. BUTLER, 297 U.S. 1
THOMAS MARCELLE, J. (Supreme Court, Albany County) opinion of the

not to mention
Justice KENNEDY (Supreme Court of the United States) concurring: The
Constitution derives its authority instead from the consent of the people
of the States. Given the fundamental principle that all governmental powers
stem from the people of the States, it would simply be incoherent to assert
that the people of the States could not reserve any powers that they had
not previously controlled. U.S. TERM LIMITS INC. v. THORNTON, 514 U.S. 779
