Supreme Court Declares Minimum Wage Constitutional
Now I know you disagree with the SCOTUS decision, but it's SCOTUS not you that has the authority to decide what is constitutional. And it's been the law of the land for over 70 years.
So instead of whining about loss enumerated rights, that aren't ever going to be restored by whining, you need a plan. That plan can be as simply as getting Congress to overturn the FLSA. Or as complex as getting a constitutional amendment to limit the commerce clause. Good luck with either.
Whining about something that's been the law of the land for 70 years is not going to win votes.
DannyTN, would you please tell me the main reason that the Founding States drafted the federal Constitution?
Next, and with all due respect DannyTN, since you evidently regard how corrupt justices interpret the Constitution as more important than what you can read with your own eyeballs, please note the following. When FDR's activist justices decided cases like US v. Darby and the later Wickard v. Filburn in the early 1940s, cases which tested the limits of Congress's Commerce Clause powers (Clause 3 of Article 8 of Article I) they wrongly ignored that the Supreme Court had historically clarified that the states have never delegated to Congress, via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate intrastate commerse.
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress. [emphases added]” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
So while you say that FDR's puppet justices said yes to federal minimum wage in U.S. v. Darby, I say the Court had previously clarified in broad terms that the states have never delegated to Congress, via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate any aspect of intrastate commerce, including wages, in Gibbons v. Ogden. And you can't show me an amendment to the Constitution after the Court decided Gibbons which reasonably shows that FDR's puppet justices could justify their decision in Darby.
In other words, FDR's justices scandalously knocked down constitutional limits on Congress's powers with a thousand "razor cuts."
The bottom line is that you need to question all Supreme Court decisions made after FDR "nuked" the Supreme Court with activist justices, particularly in cases where the Supremes tested the limits of Congress's Article I, Section 8-limited powers.
