Maybe I could do a brochure on it…

If I can help, just let me know. I wrote an application of it to Robert's Obamacare decision called One Stone, Two Powers: How Chief Justice Roberts Saved America. Read through that to get an idea of how these concepts apply to actual laws.

Also read it for a reality check, because the Chief Justice himself invokes these two different powers to explain and justify his own ruling.

It's early, so I will have to digest what you are saying. Off the cuff, I don't agree. I'm sure there might be some sort of case to be made, but as of right now, I don't see it.

In my mind we are losing our rights because we have been convinced we are a democracy and not a republic. If 51% votes to lose the second amendment, would we lose it? What we are seeing now is the public is slowly losing the thought that sodomy is an abomination so the liberals and hedonists "claim" a right they never had. Enough people have been convinced that our Founders were Deists and the Constitution didn't come out of the Bible. We should have individual rights and responsibilities, but for decades now we have had group or "corporate" status. Let me read the supplied link.

Sorry, I couldn’t finish your screed. Dazzling with BS is not the same as making a point. The reason Obamacare is illegal is it forces people to pay a fine just for breathing in America. Call it a tax or a penalty, you still have to participate just for being here. I don’t see the connection with libertarianism. Roberts was wrong. Paying attention to minutia is not the same as looking to Original Intent. This is why most people hate lawyers. They can argue for 2 days to make you thing white is black.
