That’s nice, but that’s not what I said. I’ll try one more time. The 14th amendment has been interpreted by the supreme court to give the federal government powers over the state that did not exist prior to the civil war.
You may disagree with this, but it has nothing to do with it being 2009, it has to do with the several states approving an amendment to the constitution, and that amendment being interpreted by the supreme court.
And like it or not, the current supreme court continues to consider this constitutional, even the most conservative on this court.
So, until you can give me some way we will appoint 5 members of the court that are more conservative than Antonin Scalia, the current situation will continue to be considered constitutional.
It may be cathartic to scream about how “it’s unconstitutional”, but you won’t accomplish anything doing so, and it doesn’t really advance the discussion. When the Lord comes back, the drug problem will be solved, but saying so doesn’t really advance the conversation either.
Alright... we can let this go for the moment and I will refrain from belittling you anymore. It contributes nothing to the discussion.
What I WILL maintain, however, is that the war on some drugs needs to END, and that right quickly. It is one of the top ten in the list of evil committed by government, alongside the war on gun owners, the war on incomes, the war on “poverty,” the war on property owners and so forth. ALL of these things need to be gone, folks need to QUIT trying to use the (deadly) force of government to control others’ lives and be concerned about what goes on in their OWN lives. Can we get an agreement on THIS much?
