I was trying to end the conversation because I had to leave.

The Constitution allows the federal government to intervene when the states make immoral laws. It can outlaw slavery in states, as well as other immoral activities. If Oregon decides that selling 12 year old girls as sex slaves (which it may well do with the way it's going), then the Constitution permits the Federal Government to intervene.

The Constitution, which we all revere and value, DOES allow for the federal government to stop the murder of patients by their doctors. The liberal court we presently have has not done that.

Let me ask you a serious question. Did you go to public schools and college? How is it that you are unaware that the laws of our land are based on Judeo-Christian law as they are?

Why were you never taught that?

Having to draw a line between slavery and the right of a patient to determine with his doctor how best to treat a terminal disease doesn't exactly give your position much credibility.

Those deal with people's rights being violated against their will. There is no such allegation here - the participants are all consenting to the treatment.

It does? Where? Where is the power to get involved in the doctor/patient relationship enumerated in the Constitution?

"Based on" is not relevant. I don't look at any murky "intent" of the Founders, only on what they actually put in the Constitution. This power that the Federal Government wants to assert isn't in there.

If the Founders had wanted to enshrine the Bible as the law of the land, they could have. They chose not to. The Constitution is the highest law of the land.

If you think your schooling is so much superior to mine, perhaps you can tell me where in the Constitution a higher set of laws is recognized as enforceable by the state.
