<p>In a recent article by Jacob Hornberger, published by the Tenth Amendment Center called "Why Is Paper Money Constitutional?" They just can't seem to get anything right. It's frankly a shocking abandonment of any pretense of Originalist Interpretation for something that really sounds more like a libertarian argument for a living Constitution.<br> We go through the Article point by point and examine why this article is more than just a difference of opinion between myself and a group of people who I greatly respect and almost always agree with. Which is what makes this abortion of a Constitutional interpretation so tough to let go.<br> If you have followed this show for any length of time, I am sure you have heard me praise, recommend &amp; cite the Tenth Amendment Center. Likely on multiple occasions.<br> And for those who have been following me a very long time may remember that during the libertarian presidential primaries, I was 100% behind Jacob Hornberger the entire time. If any of those 3 people (Mike Maharrey, Michael Boldin &amp; Jacob Hornberger) ever happen to see this I do hope you will understand that I mean no disrespect towards you.

And since I know a large protion of my subscribers are aware of and have equal respect for Mike, mb &amp; Jacobb<br> <br> Why Is Paper Money Constitutional? - https://tenthamendmentcenter.com/2021/05/24/why-is-paper-money-constitutional/<br> <br> ►00:00 Introduction<br> ►06:12 Summarizing Earlier Arguments<br> ►10:14 Assessing Prior Arguments<br> ►12:37 English Law and Practice<br> ►19:01 Kinds of American Paper Money<br> ►24:41 The Confederation Era<br> ►25:49 Why a Coinage Clause Was Necessary<br> ►30:22 Original Public Meaning of the Coinage Clause<br> ►31:39 Original Meaning and Understanding of "Regulate the Value"<br> ►33:57 The Ambiguous Original Public Meaning of "Coin"<br> ►44:34 The Ratifiers Choose a Meaning for "Coin"<br> ►59:46 Conclusion</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/categoric
