hopefully they will nullify Obumblecare, support arizona and give the rights back to property owners.

The supreme court is nine people we pay to translate english into english. The consititution is not hard to understand. The entire bill of rights is just a list of things we don't want the government to have power aned control over. The high court need only look to the 10th ammendment for anything not covered in our founding document. The power is to go back to the states and the people.

@UtherPendragan EXACTLY! Four pages of plain English. We don't need a priesthood for this.

@Unkn0wnGuy I used to feel the same way, but the constitution was written over 200 years ago. It isn't perfect, that's why there are amendments.

Originalism for the win.

Kansas changed the food stamp policy to not include family with illegal parents, but legal citizens kids, so clearly there was a massive drop in food stamps in Kansas... 2066 kids where dropped, that a lot? About 10% of Kansas gets food stamps, that is 280,000 people getting food stamps, so dropping illegals with US kids drops the food stamps rate by less then 1% yet they make up an estimated 2.5% of the population (70K), so they are using food stamps at a rate 60% lower then average.

@Timasion If a state is committing fraud against Medicare, then they should be penalized, but saying some state brake the law does not change the law. That or the medical practitioner is just wrong, which would not be a shock. But as for children getting food stamps, it does change by state, some state cover the whole family and they get ~$200 a month others just the person where the get ~$80/month and some don't cover them at all, see Kansas. Though I think you way over estimate the numbers.

[Timasion]

@Loathomar Sorry for my inaccuracy. Nonetheless, the substance was correct. If a child is a "citizen," his illegal alien mother could get food stamps, WIC, et cetera. She does not need to be a citizen or provide a SSN. As to Medicare, you may want to research that. I just saw a video of a Florida medical practitioner give testimony on how her state covered an illegal alien under Medicare. They are covering illegal aliens under Medicare, whether it's legal or not.

[Loathomar]

@Timasion LOL, you wanted inaccurate not "in accurate". It an adult that is an American files taxes can put illegal immigrate children as dependents, and there by get tax brakes and food-stamps for those illegals, but it means someone is legal and paying for those kids. And no illegal immigration do not get Medicare, they never have any never will. They can get emergency crap care in the ER, but that is not covered by Medicare.

[Timasion]

@Loathomar Your response is in accurate. If one person in a household is a legal citizen, then all the people in the household are eligible for food stamps, not just that one person. Further, the fraud that occurs in the food stamp program is astonishing. As far as Medicare, they've always been eligible.

Lastly, if the government is subsidizing a program, such as public transportation, it is an entitlement.
