In Splintered to Federal Folly, James Bowers Johnson examines the growth of federal power through the lens of ObamaCare, federal jurisdiction, citizenship, taxation, and constitutional interpretation. The book challenges readers to reexamine accepted assumptions about the relationship between the individual, the States, and the Federal Government by exploring historical court decisions, legislative actions, and constitutional principles. Through detailed analysis and historical context, Johnson argues that the gradual expansion of federal authority has fundamentally altered the balance of power envisioned by the Founders and has contributed to the erosion of individual liberty and State sovereignty.
