Representative Jerrold Nadler, a New York Democrat, said it “really bothers” him when Americans argue the founders wrote the Constitution to give citizens the power to limit the size of federal government.

Nadler’s remarks on the Constitution came during a House Judiciary Committee hearing regarding accusations that former IRS Commissioner John Koskinen made false statements during an inquiry into his agency’s political targeting scandal.

The Democrat claimed the actual purpose of the Constitution was to increase government power, with the Bill of Rights being the only portion of the document intended to hamstring the government in any way.

“The Constitution was enacted to strengthen government power to enable central government to lay taxes and to function effectively. We put limits on that through the Bill of Rights, but the Constitution was enacted for the opposite purpose,” Nadler said.

His remark was in response to former assistant U.S. attorney Andrew McCarthy assertion during testimony that the “principal purpose of the Constitution is to limit the power of government to intrude on the liberties and suppress the rights of the American people.”

Nadler said he wanted to “correct the historical record” because “it really bothers me” when people claim the Constitution is about limiting government power.

If that’s the case, James Madison must really put a burr under the guys saddle.

The father of the Constitution noted in Federalist 45: “The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined.”

you act like its frozen in time
 
The US Constitution is plainly a document that explains what the gov. can do and what it is forbidden to do.....its limitations....
it also explains what the rights of the people are and the limitations of gov. to infringe on those rights....

It documents the unalienable rights of the people and the rights of the gov. GIVEN BY THE PEOPLE.....

THE PEOPLE wrote the Constitution....NOT THE GOVERNMENT.....
 
When the Constitution was being drafted and debated there was a faction that wanted unlimited government power and in effect create a British-type monarchy. Madison mocked them in the Federalist and I've brought that up here in the past. In the end, the power grabbers lost the debate and the Constitution was ratified. That didn't make the power grabbers go away. They've worked tirelessly to usurp the Constitution since it was written.

Today these power grabbers have a name: The Democrat Party. Nadler confirms this in the OP quote. Desh confirms it in post 6.
 
The Constitution is clearly a limiting power on the Federal Government. Unfortunately, our courts have mostly ruled the opposite by abusing the welfare clause.

That congressman is a total fool.

SCOTUS has used the theory of precedence in lieu of originalism to advance a power-hungry legislature. I believe that they have done this in an open conspiracy to avoid impeachment. Judges can be removed easily by Congress upon demonstration of serving without "good behavior". By ruling in favor of Congress they gain favor of Congress.
