Unless you're going to post anything substantive, then take your own advice and get a life. If you're just going to keep repeating the same delusional claims, then I'll just let you keep mumbling to yourself.

Here's the last "substantive" exchange we had, hotshot. I wrote:

Let's see: Article I, Section 9, passed 1788. Amendment 16, passed 1913. You failed.

Idiotic point.
It's meaning was clear before the 16th made it even more clear, even to you. You lose.

If it's clear that that prohibition on power didn't apply to the states,

Some prohibitions apply to States. The one you quoted from Art I, Sec. 9 didn't.

then it's equally clear that your claim that "Neither the Feds nor the States were to have powers prohibited by the Constitution" is dead wrong.

It's only 'dead wrong' in the flawed logic of your imagination. -tpaine-

I know, I know, it's just a flesh wound. 449 -inquest- _____________________________________________

That line at #449 was the beginning of this present series of your petty mumblings. -- Now get lost.
