Me. me. Pick me!!! I know... Those things are NOT in the Constitution... and were never MEANT to be there. Our Founders were pretty smart in that regard. They meant to put SEVERE limits on what the government could do. I still mean to see that vision restored, in my lifetime, no matter the cost to the statist thugs.
It was the responsibility of the people to understand their relationship to the United States and to the laws that were being passed by the legislature. This distinction between the United States and the states was taught in the homes and the schools and churches.
The early admiralty courts did not interpret legislation as broadly at that time because the people knew when the courts were overstepping their jurisdiction. The people were in control because they knew who they were and where they were standing in relation to the United States.

The Patriot Act was passed because the people are willing to waive their rights for a false sense of security. Granting false powers to the LEOs is also a for this false sense of security.
LOL!
If you already know, why should I pick you?

What scares the living daylights out of me is the amount of FReepers who DON'T believe the Constitution limits the government at ALL!
Even had one try to tell me the other day that it restricted the STATES!
