Well, you would quibble over a name? What do you expect the armed forces of the United States to be wielding? Muskets? The U.S. Air Force is an outgrowth of the Army Air Corps. We'll just roll back its name and make you happy.

Does the Air Force comply with the restriction on multi-year appropriations? I would think that many of the fancier air-weapons projects would fall afoul of that.

Not to say I'd be opposed to an amendment authorizing such an exception if need be.

The appropriations comply with the Constitution. Planning is done for years in the future, but you better not bet the farm on getting funded. Don't you remember 1996 when Clinton shut down the government?

How was roe v. wade decided on the issue of privacy using the 9th amendment?

ESPECIALLY if they want public money for it...

Unfortunately the government has taken over the grand jury system. Hard for an ordinary citizen to charge politicians for corruption. Public prosecutors (Lobbyist whores) control the whole enchilada.

This present system of "justice" creates a bubble that insulates Congresscritters, Judges etc... from restrictions this simple document (An easy to read and understand Constitution) places on the government.

Rant mode caused by Guinness off. Must stay away from sports bars before posting next time.
