I just want to let everybody know that I am so greatful that Illinois Senator Mark has replyed to an email that I sent to him about PIPA and SOPA. Unlike Congresswoman Jan Schakowski she has not said anything. I think PIPA and SOPA are going to destroy first amendment of the constitution of freedom of speech.
"The Congress shall have Power - To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof."
@00maharum00ma Yeah missing the part of the powers listed. Congress has absolute power? That is what your statement says. Leave out the context and you get the answer you want liberal idiot
That isn't what the statement says at all, shithead. It says that Congress can pass any laws that it deems necessary, provided that they don't violate the rest of the constitution. You can make some sort of archaic States' Rights argument, but when the founding fathers actually were in Government, they used that clause to pass laws that you'd probably deem unconstitutional.
@00maharum00ma Yet you're willing to throw away yours and everyone else's freedoms on an assumption... and through lawmakers who can't answer the Constitutionality of laws they pass. 6:20
The existence of the state in itself throws away freedoms. That doesn't mean I want to immediately abolish it. Look, I don't like the health care bill. I don't like Jan Schakowsky. I don't like Democrats, and I don't even like the Constitution. But this argument that it's somehow unconstitutional is horseshit.
@00maharum00ma Spoken like a true anarchist. Name the part of the Constitution that gives Congress the authority to mandate the purchase of a product or service. Otherwise, that horse shit is all over your face.
"The Congress shall have Power - To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof."
-Article one, Section 8, Clause 18
It's the clause that the Supreme Court has used to justify everything from Child Labor Laws to Social Security. I can't argue anymore, because it's just a sheet of paper.
@00maharum00ma Ok, so Article 1, Section 8, Clause 18 basically says that Congress has the authority to execute laws within the framework of the Constitution... which has absolutely nothing to do with the ability to mandate consumer purchase. There is also a massive difference between Congressional authority and Supreme Court's interpretation Constitutional law.
I am sorry this is just a piece of paper to you. For many of us, the Constitution is the writ that all of our freedoms are based on.
A person who has taken an oath to uphold the constitution shouldn't use the fact she doesn't think the constitution allows for medicaid/medicare as justification for passing more laws she doesn't believe the constitution allows for.
@fdmille Actually, that's within the Sixteenth Amendment. The interesting thing is, the tax must be "without regard to any census". So, if the census asked questions regarding income then it could possibly be used to argue taxes changing with income levels is unconstitutional. What's more interesting... when that amendment was written, it was considered including a three percent limit for the maximum income tax. It was decided against fearing the tax would be maximized right away. Sigh...
Excellent reporting. It is important for the voters to known who Jan S. "really" is. People in her district view her as a hard worker who brings home the bacon. In reality, her and her husband are influential among the far left socialists who have a hand in the destruction of the once proud city of Chicago.

Good vid.
So basically Jan Schakowsky is a socialist, and Americans are voting for her.
So either the voters don't know Jan Schakowski is a socialists. or they like socialists. In either case why?

You have to understand that Schakowsky is from the district that includes UBER LIBERAL home of Northwestern University, EVANSTON IL.
Evanston is FULL of the FARTHEST LEFT WING NUTJOBS I ever had to live with for 14 yrs of my life.
Evanston is a TEXTBOOK example of the FAILURE of FAR left LIBERAL governing and FAILED policies!

I hope Pollak wipes the floor with her.
