“the government gives you a wide penumbra”
It`s a slip of Schumer who speaks for the devil because a penumbra is the gray area between the Light and the Darkness, i.w., between Good and Evil!
I ain`t stupoid y`know., YOU DEMON SCHUMER, AGENT OF SATAN
Another fascist running his suck.
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponents Argument
Regarding Sen. Schumers faulty understanding of the constitutionality of the Obamacare Democratcare contraception mandate for example, he doesnt seem to understand, or blatantly ignores, that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for intrastate public healthcare purposes as evidenced by the following excerpts from Supreme Court case opinions.
State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress. [emphases added] Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States. Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
Inspection laws, quarantine laws, health laws of every description [emphasis added], as well as laws for regulating the internal commerce of a state and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c., are component parts of this mass. Justice Barbour, New York v. Miln, 1837.
Direct control of medical practice in the states is obviously [emphasis added] beyond the power of Congress. Linder v. United States, 1925.
In fact, constitutional authorities have repeatedly clarified that the Founding States trusted the states, not the federal government, with the care of the people.
Finally, Sen. Schumer's misguided idea that personal rights and business rights are somehow constitutionally mutually exclusive doesn't hold water either. This is evidenced by the fact that the Founding States made the Constitution's Clause 8 of Section 8 of Article I to reward individuals for sharing their intellectual property. More specifically, such individuals are awarded temporary monopoly power in the form of patents and copyrights, monopoly power being an aspect of corporate power, so that inventors and authors can benefit from their ideas. And there's no wording in Clause 8 that requires inventors and authors to give up their 1st Amendment protected freedoms while they enjoy their monopoly power.
As a side note concerning the federal government's constitutionally limited powers, please consider the following. The states would sure be a dull, boring place to grow up and live in if parents were to make sure that their children were taught about the federal government's constitutionally limited powers as the Founding States had intended for those powers to be understood. /sarc
Thomas Jefferson had put it this way:
Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves. It seems to be the law of our general nature. - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)
It’s hard not to wish bad things to happen to some people.
Schmuckie is a fascist. Get a rope.
I love the smell of libtard brains imploding in the morning.
