From http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h2749/show
“This bill proposes greater FDA regulatory powers over the national food supply and food providers, namely granting it the authority to regulate how crops are raised and harvested, to quarantine a geographic area, to make warrantless searches of business records, and to establish a national food tracing system. Concurrently, the bill would impose annual registration fees of $500 on all facilities holding, processing, or manufacturing food and require that such facilities also engaged in the transport or packing of food maintain pedigrees of the origin and previous distribution history of the food.”
The FDA is going to REGULATE how food is raised and harvested and TO MAKE WARRANTLESS SEARCHES OF BUSINESS RECORDS!!!
This bill OVERRIDES THE CONSTITUTION!
“This bill OVERRIDES THE CONSTITUTION!”
And yet how many times when you try to tell people do they look at you as if you were stupid and say:
“That’ll never happen, it’s unconstitutional.”
I really don’t like this new Amerika.
>This bill OVERRIDES THE CONSTITUTION!
Then it should be thrown out on Constitutional grounds.
Refusal by the USSC/Judiciary to do so SHOULD result in them being treated, by the military, as domestic enemies of the Constitution.
The Constitution is written in words, which have meaning, there are procedures on how to change those words. In no case however, is the Judiciary free to redefine those words; otherwise something like “Congress shall pass no ex post facto law or bill of attainder” could be taken to mean that Congress should not transmit laws before received (thereby tampering with causality) AND that Congress should not transmit a law regarding the eating of squid.
(Note: Pass was redefined from ‘legislate’ into ‘transmit,’ ‘ex post facto’ was interpreted to mean something utterly nonsensical/vacuously-true, and “attainder” was taken to mean “eating squid” in this example.)
I should copyright the phrase "These people are insane." That way, I could rake in millions in royalties from all the Americans using it over the next 4 to 8 years.
