Rep. Justin Amash Hammers

Wasn't he one of the villains from Iron Man 2? Maybe the headline editor was trying to tell us something. . .

Amash is more a small “L” libertarian than he is a Republican. And he’s getting a rep. as a bit of a bomb thrower.

So, you post an over two month old article as NEWS on Justin Amash (the one fraudulent “member” of the Freedom Caucus as far as I’m concerned) in order to bash the Freedom Caucus. Keep up your anti-conservative jihad — it’s very telling about you.

By the way, will you be bashing us as “nativists” if we oppose any Trump moves to support AMNESTY as he has begun to show signs of wanting?

Donald Trump Haters from the “Conservative Movement” have not helped their cause in the last year or more.

Back in January 2016 I saw Glenn Beck turn his back to protest in Oregon, fearing violence but not willing to commit his peaceful spirit to the situation.

More worried about trashing Trump than helping the unjustly jailed ranchers, the Hammonds.

I ended up supporting Trump as an alternative to these Russia Hating Trump Hating types like Beck and Levin.

I hope President Trump releases those people and takes other steps to bring justice to the Oregon protest case and the Nevada protest from April 2014.

Those Trump Haters must have subordinated themselves to the foreign interests that want war with Russia.

Justin Amash is one of the “leaders” in the so called “Freedom Caucus”.

In realty he is a worthless liberal puke that finds any reason he can to vote NO on everything in less it is something liberals want!

It's amazing how many judges, legislators, government officials and bureaucrats appear to be clueless about laws that apply to issues they rule on or speak out on.

Of course congress has passed so many laws that no one can actually state with certainty how many laws there really are.

And can anyone possibly be confident that they know every law that applies to every issue?

How Many Federal Laws Are There? No One Knows.

No one knows how many laws there are in the United States. Apparently, no one can count that high.

They’ve been accumulating, of course, for more than 200 years. When federal laws were first codified in 1927, they fit into a single volume. By the 1980s, there were 50 volumes of more than 23,000 pages.

And today? Online sources say that no one knows. The Internal Revenue Code alone, first codified in 1874, contains more than 3.4 million words and, if printed 60 lines to the page, is more than 7,500 pages long. There are about 20,000 laws just governing the use and ownership of guns.

New laws mean new crimes. From the start of 2000 through 2007, Congress had created at least 452 new crimes, so that at that time the total number of Federal crimes exceeded 4,450.

Of course, times change and laws need to be updated. But many laws detract from, rather than contribute to, our quality of life and overall well-being. It is impossible for anyone to know all of the laws that affect them and it is, therefore, impossible to not break any laws. How many of the 4,450 crimes have you broken?

The role of Congress, unfortunately, is to create new laws, not to do away with old laws that don’t work. Members of Congress running for re-election want to be able to say that they sponsored and passed new laws – regardless of how harmful the laws may be.

In a typical year, Congress passes at least 125 new laws, but Congress has fortunately slowed the pace of late. In 2011, after Republicans took control of the U.S. House of Representatives, Congress passed just 90 bills into law. As of last August, only 61 of the 3,914 bills that had been introduced in 2012 as of that date had been passed into law.

USA Today criticized the “do nothing” Congress for not passing enough new laws, as though Congress should be graded based on the number of laws it passes. I say it’s a step in the right direction.
