Thanks. A friend of mine asked if I was trying to sound like William Shatner when I said "It's like bugs crawling under my skin", so it seems amusement abounds. :)
oddly, the consitution states that the federal gov cannot treat any state with favor. thus, states who recieved extra's from signing that bill are going against the constitution. how is it that the gov can keep doing unconsitutional practices without the sepream court getting involved? gotta be rigged.. how else can illegal activities persist without anyone turning their heads!
Not one of us is a constitutional scholar, so we went and looked for the "cannot treat any state with favor" part of your comment. From where do you draw that constitutional language? Is it an interpretation of part of the document, or is it a simple statement in there that we missed?
Interpreting that document is a lot less simple than it looks. The entire "commerce clause" takes up years of study...
"The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States"
further artical 4 section 2 and i quote
"The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States."
Your quote of Article 1, Section 8 doesn't include taxes as something which must be uniform. So if taxes can be unequal, why can't unfunded mandates like "go get health care"?
My point isn't that I disagree with you, but that I don't think the issue is as simple as you posed it.
My sense is the mandate requiring citizens to enter into a contract with a private company is unique...and well outside the bounds of constitutionality on those grounds, but that'll take quite some time to figure out.
after talking with Elders of my community, those who when they went to school, the consitution was required reading, that you maybe correct in what youre saying in reguards to artical 1 section 8. .. so i appologize. and true, that its not a simpe issue, i believe in that respect the senate knows best to avoid simple problems and know how to complicate things to where it could work out in anyones favor. working in the gray areas is their speciality.
I think you're right on the money about the decline in the quality of education, and the strong capacity for Congress to effectively undermine the Constitution on a regular basis. It's an unfortunate realization -- but if it spurs us to stand up and tell truth to power, then it's a valuable one!
before i had kids, i thought my parents where dumb.. after i had kids, i know they are far more smart than i am. grandparents even more so. odd how kids do that to you. so i've learned to look to my elders for knowledge, this includes elders of the community and my own family. cheers.
these are not your horses this isn't your race, the game is rigged & the table is tilted. The flaccid Amerikan dream has left you weak minded and out of shape. You can wake up or you can hang yourself with your FOX noose.

The best part was the off the cuff "damn health care bill". That actually made me laugh out loud.
Twice.

try Artical 1. section 8.. and i quote
"The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States"
further artical 4 section 2 and i quote

theses are created to forbid the senate from favoritisim amung states, for if they did, it could cause a Cival war!

I'm not sure your analogy is a good one. It's more like:
right:left::independence:smothering
Well, to me, anyway. Anyone else have a different idea?
