Sorry, you are incorrect. The constitution says that Congress shall have exclusive legislative authority of that land. Congress represents the will of The People.

Take heart, taxcontrol.

Now you know what it feels like to get your chewed-up rear end handed to you by FR old-school. You can even boast about getting "Eschoired" in the future.

Hey, Dead, you & I are Horatios!

Looks like we held the bridge till the reinforcements came up. These threads are awesome - they're just DRIPPING with information puncturing the BLM's balloon of .gov lies.

Seems like old times...

Hey, BLM - pull up a chair next to the tortoises, and have a heaping helping of cowpoop. Here's a fork, so's we can say "fork you".

:-)

"Congress represents the will of The People."

No, No and Hell No.

We are a Constitutional Republic. There is one thing and one thing only that Congress must follow. That is the Constitution.

In fact the Constitution was created and enacted to keep the whimsical will of the people from destroying the Country.

The very reason Democracies fail is because the "Will of The People" is fickle. And that is the very reason the Founders opted for a Constitutional Republic and not a Democracy.

Now if you wish to amend your statement to "The House of Representatives was created to represent the concerns of the people..." then yes. But the concerns of the people are secondary to the Rule of Law. And the Law of the Land is the Constitution.
