Can Congress Attach Strings to Funds it Gives to the States? Why This Matters to You! S5E16

from Restore Freedom Weekly · host Katherine Henry

SCOTUS making rules for how the Feds dish out YOUR tax dollars to state governments 😲 Last week, we talked about South Dakota v Dole (1987), where SCOTUS laid out 5 limits on Congress’ power to attach strings on money given to the states. But there’s some major concerns with how SCOTUS has handled these issues. They come up with all these rules and tests for determining and defining the powers of the federal government – but they don’t have the authority to set the “rules.” We The People set out the rules within the contract itself – the US Constitution. So, what does the Constitution say about Congress’ power to attach strings on money given to the states?
