CTP S2E94 Reclaiming Constitutional Authority: How Norton v Shelby County Challenges Unelected Bureaucracy
The 1886 Supreme Court case Norton v Shelby County establishes that unconstitutional acts are not laws and government offices created without proper authority never legally exist.
• Norton v Shelby declares "an unconstitutional act is not a law" and confers no rights or authority
• Judge Eileen Cannon cited Norton v Shelby in the Trump documents case questioning Jack Smith's authority
• NvS application to current Dept. Of Education discussions
• Government "alphabet agencies" often exceed their constitutional and congressional authority
• The EPA has expanded far beyond its original purpose of handling cross-state environmental issues
• Constitutional limitations require federal agencies to have proper authority under the Constitution
• Government accountability requires questioning where agencies derive their power
• A republic differs from democracy by having constitutional limits on government powers
• Citizens must become politically active at local levels to restore constitutional governance
