Tell it to the judge when you're caught with 5 mallards and no duck stamp. It should pi$$ him off real good. For good measure, ask him why there is an illegal US flag behind the bench.

Read the constitution...

You still use that old, outdated document? We live in a different world now, the constitution may have worked for the founding fathers, but it's too outdated for the 21st century.

Hope the GOP isn't counting on the votes of the people they just screwed out of overtime pay.

IIRC, I think they get the option of comp time or overtime. Before they had no option.

"I hope the Republican's lose the majority in the Senate. Then maybe we'll have gridlock and less spending."

And more liberal, activist judges.

Is that what you want?

IMHO, there are two serious problems that the authors of the Constitution did not forsee. One was a class of professional politicians caused by no term limits. The other is the electoral college that basically shuts out any third party from the political process. Get rid of the electoral college and require the winning candidate to get 50% + one vote, with a runoff in case that no one gets a plurality, and the two party system will come crashing down within a very few years.

"By the way, since when does the natural migration of insects fall under commerce?"

Since the entire commerce clause became the law of the land instead of the Constitution....since the feds regulate fish because they might swim up a river from state to state....it happened when we weren't looking.
