If the United States pursued a foreign policy of non-interventionism as laid out by our Founders the massive “national security state” would cease to exist. We would return to being a republic and they would have to return to honest work.

* To Enforce the Laws Faithfully - Judge Andrew Napolitano.

* The drafters of the Constitution provided for a separation of powers. Basically, only Congress may write the laws, only the president and those he hires can enforce the laws, and only the judiciary can decide what the laws mean and whether they comport to the Constitution.

The flip side of the separation of powers is twofold. First, the separation prohibits any of the three branches from performing the core duties of either of the other two, whether by stealth, force or even permission. Core duties are those articulated in the Constitution or unambiguously derived from it. Thus, only Congress can impose taxes, as that core duty is assigned to it by the Constitution. This is essentially the reason that President Donald Trump’s tariffs have been found unconstitutional; a tariff is a tax, and only Congress can impose taxes.

The second flip side of the separation is the presumption that each branch will in fact do what the Constitution charges it with doing: Congress will write the laws, and the president will enforce them as they are written, and the courts will interpret them.
