I consider it the beginning, and a strong one it was.

Abe didn't execute the republic, but he built the scaffold.

It’s only the 6th of March cva - isn’t that a little early to be spreading manure? ;-)

No, it wasn’t Abe that built the scaffold, it was that southerner Wilson who resegregated the federal govenment,, and the southern Democrats during the Roosevelt administration that voted for the various alphabet organizations.

The legal justification for the health care individual mandate is Korematsu vs. US, where a Japanese American was ordered to a concentration camp. We can hope that the current consideration of an individual mandate is an opportunity to overturn that bad decision.

The legal justification for the Interstate Commerce Clause giving federal government control of everything is Filburn vs. Wichard. Mr Filburn complied with the law passed by the southern Democrats to pump up wheat prices and didn’t sell more than the allotted amount. That wasn’t good enough for the southern Gentlemen who wanted white land owners to get paid for not hiring black sharecroppers.
