This means, that Congress can only Exercise the authority given to it by the Constitution.

As a collective right of the body explicitly recognized by the Founding Fathers and the courts, your inane and unsupported claims to the contrary notwithstanding.

Let's review:

"Every man, and every body of men on earth, possesses the right of self-government. They receive it with their being from the hand of nature. Individuals exercise it by their single will; collections of men by that of their majority; for the law of the majority is the natural law of every society of men." --Thomas Jefferson

So you admit you are a democrat. That there are no unalienable Rights, and that simple majority rules are all we should live buy. That our Rights are at the mercy of a slim majority.

Good one Roscoe. You agree 100% with Hillary.
