"This is what i call constituent activism. Judicial activism is where judges invent extra constitutional powers. Constituent activism is when voters do the same thing. "

You seem to be saying that voters instituted extra constitutional powers so they could get aid. Is this what you're saying?

"Where does the constitution empower the president to spend tax money to payout flood victims?"

Libertarian eh? There are some things, like death and destruction, famine, that must be dealt with for the sake of us all. No, it's not specifically listed in the Constitution, but we aid other countries, we should probably go ahead and help Americans too. And I was mostly responding to post # 5 where the genius calls our President "King George The Socialist". How do you feel about that comment Huck?

No, it's not specifically listed in the Constitution, but

Then you're no different or better than Justice Breyer.

Not so they could get aid. Looks like they do it so they can give aid. It's to make them feel better. Meaning they, including conservatives, ignore the constitution at their convenience. I think the whole constitutional argument is baloney. people drop it when it suits them.
