About this listen
When crime surges in America’s cities, many demand that the federal government step in. But is that constitutional or even wise? In this episode of No Compromise: The Ordered Liberty Podcast, we explore why law enforcement must remain local, why Washington has no general police power, and why calling in the feds is a dangerous path to tyranny.
We dig into the Tenth Amendment, Supreme Court cases like United States v. Lopez, and Founders’ warnings against centralized power. We compare real examples from New York’s crime drop in the 1990s to the federal escalation in Portland in 2020 to show that local accountability works and federal involvement often fails. And we remind citizens: if your leaders won’t enforce the law, it’s your job to remove them and elect those who will.
At the heart of it all is this truth: liberty dies when we hand local responsibility to Washington. Freedom is preserved when the people closest to the problem take action.
