Are there still tolls to get to Niagara Falls?

I lived there when they removed the tolls to get to downtown Buffalo. Anyone with brains could exit before tolls and get back on after tolls where it was free. STUPID set up!

Odd, I thought the constitution was a contract that the government had to honor, outlining its powers and our rights. The government doesn’t get to decide.

Now we have a government/SCOTUS asserting that it can change the contract if IT decides, so long as it’s ‘temporary’. Such subjective wording opens the door to interpretation and renders the Constitution worthless.

SCOTUS seems to be doing the opposite of what it should be doing.

Roberts and Kavanaugh.

This experiment is over. Just like the Soviet one, the American experiment is done. Even Putin knows this. Maybe especially Putin knows this.

Looks like it’s down to the second amendment.

Party boy rapist says it’s ok for the CDC to grab illegal power and hold it a few more weeks. We should have never assisted him against Blasey-Ford.

Kavanaugh has become just another joke of a justice — just like Roberts and with the same ridiculous reasoning.

And I’m constantly told, with certainty, how dangerous an Article V Convention of the States would be.

“Temporary” like the “15 days to flatten the curve” temporary?

There was a tax put on telephones in 1898 to pay for the Spanish American War since only rich people had phones. To the best of my knowledge that tax is still on all of our phones. I think that war is over.

If I am mistaken, please correct me.

My state has been flagrantly violating 2nd Amendment rights (and other rights as well) for decades.

So, let’s ban this court temporarily, like 5 years.

Until now I’ve been hearing that CDC guidelines are just that, and the states have mindlessly accepted them.

Well, as Aaron Burr said, “The law is whatever is boldy asserted and plausibly maintained.”

In our state the public and the elected officials discovered that the law granted blank check authority to health departments of four counties. The other counties fall under state guidelines.

There was no check on their power, which nobody should ever have unchecked power. The legislature corrected that and clipped the wings of those four health departments.

Now the state government has the power back and they are not following CDC guidelines. We are open.

Guess what state it is. Hint: we are not blue, and neither is our governor.

We know Traitor Roberts is off his rocker.
