Yes, this assclown actually said this.

A House Democrat said Wednesday that it "really bothers me" when people claim the U.S. Constitution was designed to limit the federal government's power.

At a Wednesday House Judiciary Committee hearing focusing on whether Congress should consider impeaching IRS Commissioner John Koskinen, Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., said the founding document of the U.S. was designed for the "opposite" purpose.

I'm not surprised he believes this. He's an extremist far left nut job. I'm surprised he actually stated it publicly.
 
Yo, if the Voters who put him in Office were True Americans, they would Vote him out, next time around, for that statement!!!

Damn it. Technically speaking, COMPARED TO THE ARTICLES OF CONFEDERATION, he is correct.

Under the articles the central government was unable to function effectively.

The constitution was written to increase the power of the federal government relative to that.


BUT, the concept of limitations and separations of powers, was NOT ABANDONED, just moderated.
 
It always amazes me to hear leftists trying to talk law and constitution. They have absolutely no sense of history.
 
Yo, Socialist Democrats, they don`t believe in the Constitution, Israel, Religion, Life(abortion), ETC.!!!

"GTP"
They do believe in this:

Could America have survived if the framers had not given the central government more power than the Articles?

I haven't closely examined the issues of the time to judge the conclusions of those of the time who that wrote the new Constitution.

Indeed, I only vaguely recall what the issues were at this time.

Actually, he is correct in saying

"The Constitution was enacted to strengthen government power to enable central government to lay taxes and to function effectively. We put limits on that through the Bill of Rights, but the Constitution was enacted for the opposite purpose," said Nadler.

BUT the constitution still maintains very strong limitations and separations of powers in the government.

The overall theme of Government in American was still to limit the power of government to prevent tyranny as was the norm in the rest of the world at that time.

They're all stating it publicly anymore. Like those idiots who claim that people who read/discuss the Constitution are "ignorant" because, apparently, the Constitution isn't really supposed to be followed, read or discussed. To do these things or imply these things is *stupid*. They claim a LIVING document (which means the words mean nothing) and therefore we should NOT read it, and instead accept whatever *interpretation* our statist masters choose to attach to it.

The Constitution's primary purpose is to restrict the authority of the federal government and to protect the people from it.
 
Is he wrong ? The con allows the creation of laws ect.. Song long as the votes are there and the law doesn't violate the con itself .

Yes, he is wrong. He made no mention of such limitations. He misrepresented the overall driving theme of government in America.
