Just shows to go ya...NEVER fire a warning shot.
Same baloney as Bill Clinton stating he is poor, with a rich Uncle who owned auto dealerships. Mommy left me to work somewhere else...wha, wha.
Nancy Pelosi. Another woman who has never worked a real job a day in her life. (that's right, staying at home with the kids, which is what I did for a time, is not a real job. Get over it). Being a politician is not a real job either. For that matter neitehr is being a community organizer. Work in the private sector where you can't order people to pay you under threat of criminal prosecution, and where your efforts have to yield measureable results without the support of government charity. You should all be ashamed to compare yourselves to people who work for a living.
The funny thing is that the person lecturing our Social Democratic, Progressive Liberal Community Organizer President is a Communist revolutionary! Even the Communists are better at monetary policy then the President!
It's about time the Court started taking the PRINCIPLES stated in the Constitution, as opposed to being the lap dogs of the Federal Government and the extension of non-existent rights to individuals. Limits on Federal Power. Individual Liberty. Supremacy of the States as soveriegns in those areas not specifically delegated to the Federal Government. Go back to the original definition, as understood by common sense, given the architecture of the Constitution, of the Commerce Clause. OR BETTER YET, stop being so lazy, disingenuous and willing to accept levels of distorition, deconstruction and reinterpretation of the language to achieve their goals, and lets have a CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. It is time. Progressive Liberals should...
Remember, the Progressive Liberals (i.e. Democratic Socialists and redistributionist Communists) have always believed that the Constitution should be ignored because it could. They came up with the phrase "living Constitution" so they stopped reading it years ago. One could argue, that based on his latest book, Justice breyer should be impeached because he has stated that he will not allow the Constitution to cause him to void a law that he thinks could make the society work better. it is ironic, that the left, who created a right to privacy out of whole cloth in Griswold and Roe v. Wade, could argue with a straight face that the Supreme Court is radical in interpreting the Constitution.
WRONG. See above.
...neighbors. The US Supreme Court, in a 9-0 decision, said that the US government could regulate and prohibit the growing of that "unregulated" wheat because the result of millions of Fillburns being able to grow wheat beyond their quota's would destroy the regulatory environment, allowing farmers who got subsidies to also produce wheat for themselves. So, it was Fillburns affirmative act, growing wheat beyond his quota, that the government was found to have the right to regulate. This is completely different from the fact that for the first time in US history the Federal government is forcing people to buy a commercial product under penalty of fines. The Democrats are cowards. It would have been Constitutional to tax everyone for...
This analysis of Fillburn is incorrect. Fillburn was a wheat farmer who grew wheat as a commerical enterprise. The department of agriculture regulated that activity under the commerce clause under regulations that were meant to even out agricultural production so the price swings of the past could be controlled under the assumption that farmers would not go bankrupt and people would have relatively modest price swings in food. Mr. Fillburn also grew some "unauthorized" wheat (then as now there are production controls, but since the US exports half of its agricultural production and prices are high they are ignored at the present). He would use this wheat himself to not only make bread, but to feed his livestock and sell eggs, etc., to..
WICKARD v. FILBURN, 317 U.S. 111 (1942) 317 U.S. 111 WICKARD, Secretary of Agriculture, et al. v. FILBURN. Decided Nov. 9, 1942.
