>>What the SPP June 2005 “Report to Leaders” documents is the knitting together of a new regional super-government, the North American Union, being accomplished in executive branch closed committees whose membership remain unnamed. The United States has never experienced a coup d’etat, let alone a coup d’etat pulled off by the executive branch under cover of “working groups.”<<


Even when the source is normally rational - there is no point in us devoting a lot of time to insane conspiracy theories - except maybe late at night on the weekends when a bunch of people are drunk... :)

But this article is so far from reasonable or rational....

First of all, there is a shortage of 20,000 truck drivers (this fact is not debateable) and the need for drivers is very likely to increase into the future.

I'll bet you'd cry if we shut down trade with Mexico and 20,000 American drivers lost their jobs. But at least those nasty foreigners wouldn't be driving their trucks here.

I used to sell a steel building product that was delivered (primarily) on 48' flatbeds. Turns out that a lot of flatbed haulers are farmers on the side. I think it was because the skills/equipment were synergistic, but that's another story. Right about this time next month, the supply of available flatbeds/haulers begins to dry up (at least in the Midwest), and it slowly gets worse until the problem peaks in late August to mid-September. It's because the drivers are home busy bringing in the harvest.

Sadly enough, this period also almost perfectly coincides with the busiest part of construction season, as everybody tries to get their frames/walls up before bad weather hits. The perfect ulcer storm.

As long as those are good old American drivers.....

I see the usual free-traitor chihuahua brigade has already arrived to harass and bite at everyone's ankles that wants to have a reasonable discourse on this subject. If you ignore their responses, watch and they'll start flinging insults between themselves. They want to harass and squelch any such discussion and debate about the subject, whether it's a valid, serious concern or not. They don't even want the issue discussed for fear it may impact their finances adversely. Their primary allegiance lies with the almighty dollar. This kind would do business with Iran, Syria, and North Korea if they thought there was a dollar profit to be gained.

Bump!

Rant of the week!

Thanks for the cite. There was no particular hurry, I had a lot of boating and other recreating to do in Lake McDonald in Glacier the last week.

I have read that opinion, it is in error.I agree with Lawrence Tribe's constitutional construct. Basically, the author of the ruling over-reaches for the commerce clause and essentially invents a whole new penumbra (where have we heard that before? H'mmmm?) with the Necessary and Proper Clause and the "president's foreign relations powers." Doesn't fly, McGee. Otherwise, it's a fair and balanced opinion. He obviously felt the weight of ruling against the machine which was already in motion, and just chickened out. And the Appellate Courts likewise. E.g., where he observes:

While NAFTA is likely a treaty, it may not be a "treaty," as contemplated by the Treaty Clause.(346) Nevertheless, I will assume that it is such. In any event, this suggestion adds weight to the argument that the Commerce Clause, coupled with the Necessary and Proper Clause and the President's foreign relations powers, provides sufficient authority for the completion of NAFTA, exclusive or not.

Glacier National Park is proof God exists. I envy you.

Glacier National Park is proof God exists.

Agreed...
