If this nonsense passes, I can’t wait to see it tested in court! I’m real curious as to the public reaction when the feds tell a state it can’t lower its taxes!

10th Amendment case. The cause for the second Civil War will be “powers reserved to the states”.

I’m more curious about how long it will take before Conyers — an indisputably obnoxious moron, is thrown out of Congress.

His wife is already under investigation as a Detroit city councilwoman.....

Such a lovely couple....demonstrating the couple who steals together stays together...

Conyers will leave Congress feet-first. He’s the second-longest serving House member (in there since 1964). He does have a unique distinction however... no member of Congress has had more people FLEE the district with which he has represented in the history of the U.S. Indeed, the district he originally represented in inner-city Detroit has had to be greatly augmented and moved westward in order to make up for the estimated half-million people that exited it since he was first elected. That tells you everything right there.

Conyers (africanhyphenamerican-Detroit) has introduced a reparations bill every year in congress since first elected. When/IF the Messiuh is elected, there will be no chance of a presidential veto. Get yer wallets out honkies.

LOL. I have a feeling reparations just might be the straw that broke the camel’s back. We could end up with a North and South Virginia. Yeah!

My satellite provider has a whole channel set up to support this bill telling me it would stop my bill from going up.

He is simply a reflection of the majority of voters in his district. Considering that Dearborn and Detroit are pretty much lost causes at this point, the only way Conyers will ever leave Congress is in a box. When that happens, he'll simply be replaced by another commie.

Not that it bothers Congress, but isn’t this incredibly unconstitutional?

It is, as are many things they do, not that that’ll stop ‘em.

This isn’t a mistake on FR folks, the website article also uses ‘Though’ instead of “Thou”.

I weep for the loss of good American public education.

There appears to be a correlation between the rise in percentage of blacks living in an area, and:

- Rise in crimes of all types.
- Rise in level of political corruption.
- Decline in outcome of public education.
- Increase in illegitimate births to unwed mothers.
- Increase in numbers requiring taxpayer provided welfare.
- Decline in community vitality, safety and growth.
- Drop in small business investments.
- Loss of industry and the jobs/investments they provide.
- Increase in flight of non-blacks to the suburbs.

Leading one to the conclusion that the more blacks flock into black majority communities, and then vote for those like themselves — the poorer their life prospects become.

It would appear their best hope of escaping the black escalator down to despair is to LEAVE the black ghettos and DISPERSE into the non-black communities to escape the Leftist and Black Racist plantations of despair..

Obama accomplished NOTHING of significance to improve the lot of blacks in his Chicago district in all the years he spent there...

WHY do we accept that as his qualification to lead the country?
