Continuing with Undermining The Constitution A HISTORY OF LAWLESS GOVERNMENT By Thomas James Norton

.....Another form of attack by Congress on the courts of the Constitution was in legislation directing them how to try cases.

In 1910 it passed an act forbidding the issue of an injunction against the operation of a law of a State except in a specified way.

In 1913 it passed a similar law forbidding the restraint by injunction of an order of the Interstate Commerce Commission except on conditions laid down.

And in 1932 Congress enacted the Norris-LaGuardia Act for denying injunctive relief to an employer, except under annoying conditions which might deny relief, where a labor question is involved.

Those invasions of the rights of litigants and the liberties of the American will be examined......

.....The platform of 1908 of the National Socialistic Party, speaking of that panic, demanded a "graduated" income tax and a graduated inheritance tax as a means of distributing wealth.[1]

It also called for nearly all of the "uplifts" brought into play a quarter of a century later and unctuously baptized as the "New Deal" -- employment by the United States for the unemployed, help from the Federal Treasury for the needy, public improvements to provide work, nationalization of utilities and some industries, "development" of many fields not before thought to be within the competence of government, insurance for health, accident, old age, death, and other things insurable, and practically anything else that anybody wanted.

1. Socialists have been charged with disagreement as to what they really stand for. From the platform of the National Socialist Party of 1908, following the very severe panic of the year before, a definition may be drawn. The writers of the platform betrayed a most comprehensive misunderstanding of the powers and obligations of our National Government. They called for:

1. Relief works through building schools and canals, by reforesting, by reclamation, and by extending all other public works;

2. Loans of money by the United States to States, municipalities, and for public works;

3. Ownership by the United States of railroads, telegraph and telephone lines, steamships, all land, and all industries;

4. Extension of the public domain to take over mines, quarries, oil wells, forests, and water power;

5. Extension of the graduated income tax and inheritance tax;

6. Abolition of the power of the Supreme Court to hold an act of Congress unconstitutional;

7. Creation of a Department of Health and a Department of Education;

8. Insurance against unemployment, illness, accident, invalidism, old age, and death;

9. Funds for the unemployed.

Some of those matters are within the police power of the States, but none lies within the jurisdiction of the Nation. The proposed taking over of property by taxation and by seizure is Communistic.....

.... As remarked elsewhere in another relation, and as has been learned by the dwellers along the rivers of the country, it is the first trickle of the water over the levee that must be prevented. The Constitution is a levee to prevent power in Government from breaking into a boundless field "no longer susceptible of any definition."

It is the obligation of the schools, colleges, and universities to make the American competent to see what is coming before it strikes him down.

The Americans who founded the Republic had such education. In a speech in the House of Commons in 1775 defending them, Edmund Burke remarked on this, saying that "they anticipate the evil, and judge of the pressure of the grievance by the badness of the principle."

That is where latter-day education has failed the American.
